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

Getting ballast and gravel onto your Bletchley site

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Bletchley 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.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Bletchley, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
