Meadow View Stone can fulfil your Rock Salt requirements



With the bad weather approaching fast many Garden Centres will be assessing their requirements for Rock Salt.

Salt in general provides huge potential for winter sales, in what can be a quieter time for many centres.  However retailers must be vigilant in ensuring that the product that is sold contains no less than 90% salt in order to comply with British Standards BS3247.  Ensure that you are purchasing your salt from a reputable supplier who not only certifies that the product conforms to British Standards, but is someone you can trust for continuity of supply and product quality.

Meadow View Stone supply Garden Centres with either pure White Marine or pure traditional Pink Road Salt, both of which have not been diluted by blending in any grit or sand, meaning they are over and above the British Standards compliance amount.  Furthermore as our salt is pure it provides a much cleaner solution in clearing ice and snow as it leaves no residue, when compared to cheaper alternatives such as winter grit which tend to leave a trail of slushy sand.

Our salt is supplied in strong durable white bags with a colourful design, that is unique in its manufacture by having an inner black layer which serves to prolong the shelf life of this product by up to two years in comparison to standard bags.

We look forward to supplying you with any of your future rock salt requirements of either pre-packed, loose or bulk bagged and we are currently offering exception deals on Rock Salt, please call us for information on Tel: 01948 841607 or email info@meadowviewstone.co.uk
