How much aggregate do I need?

All Hogan aggregates are sourced from 3 carefully managed sustainable quarries and processed through modern crushing and screening equipment to maintain consistent grading and performance.

Our team tracks quality and gradings continuously, not just at start-up – an ongoing loop of sampling, checking and nudging.

Every load is subject to rigorous quality control, giving contractors confidence in strength, durability and compliance with relevant standards.

To work out how much aggregate you need, first measure the length and width of the area to be covered to get the area in square metres, then decide on the depth you need in metres.
Multiply area by depth to get the volume in cubic metres, then multiply by around 2.4 to convert to tonnes and add an extra 5–10% to allow for wastage and compaction.
Example: If your area is 10m by 5m at 0.1m depth:
• Area = 10 × 5 = 50m²
• Volume = 50 × 0.1 = 5m³
• Tonnage ≈ 5 × 2.4 = 12 tonnes

The four main types of aggregates are:

Coarse Aggregates: Larger particles, such as gravel or crushed stone, used for structural strength.

Fine/Sand Aggregates: Smaller particles, like sand, for smooth finishes and filling gaps.

Recycled Aggregates: Materials reused from construction waste, promoting sustainability.

Specialised Aggregates: Tailored for specific purposes, such as decorative or high-strength concrete.

Each has specific uses in building and infrastructure projects. Hogan Group offers a wide range of aggregates to suit your project requirements.

Aggregate prices vary depending on the material (for example MOT type 1, gravel, sand), the quantity you order, and your delivery location. We’ll provide a tailored, no‑obligation quote once we know what product you need, how much you need, and where it is being delivered.
