Can anyone advise a good place to buy a few tonnes of garden gravel other than Leroy Merlin? Would a quarry be less expensive? Also, looking to buy large, coloured ceramic planters. TIA

I have never seen any quarries around here, at least not for gravel. I don't have a garden so buying gravel and planters isn't my thing.

There are some garden centre type places along the N125 near Guia that I have passed that sell pots and stuff for ornamental gardens generally. I don't know the names but this is one of them found on a map -

Gigagarden Botânica, S.A.

Go to a builders merchant to buy by the ton or cubic metre
