If you measure the area and go to the quarry up behind Wick they will be able to advise you how much you need and arrange delivery. Have used them in the past and it was cheaper to buy material from them delivered to Thurso than it was to use the builders merchant in Thurso. It depends on what you need it for how deep it needs to be.

Here is the one just up Newton hill at Wick. They can supply different colours of gravel and chips.

How to Measure, if you take 5m length x 5m Width x .100mm thickness = 2.5 cubic meters volumn x by 2 = 5 tons of stone as 1 cubic meter equals roughly 2 tons, works for any measurement of stone type material.
