Delivering ballast and gravel in Aberdeen

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Aberdeen is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Aberdeen gets around 17h 56m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Picking the right product

Gravel size

Ballast or separate sand and gravel?

All-in ballast is convenient for general concrete. For more control over the mix, use separate sharp sand and gravel.

Ballast & Gravel questions

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Aberdeen?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Aberdeen?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How much gravel do I need for a path?

Multiply the area by the depth (often 40 to 50 mm for decorative gravel) to get cubic metres, then allow about 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.
