Getting the right ballast and gravel

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.

Gravel size

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

Planning the drop in Aylesbury

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around HP19 are priced to the exact address.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• On busy streets in Aylesbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Ballast & Gravel questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aylesbury?

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.

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.

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.

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Aylesbury?

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.
