Planning the drop in Aldershot

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Aldershot, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Before you order ballast and gravel

Gravel size

20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.

Decorative areas

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.

A base 3 × 1.8 m and 100 mm deep is 0.54 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.24 tonnes of all-in ballast and 9 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Ballast & Gravel questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aldershot?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Aldershot?

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.

What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?

Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.

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.
