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.

Decorative areas

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

  • In summer Bedworth gets around 16h 50m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
