Common questions from Buckie

Can I add other materials to my Buckie delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from ballast and gravel to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Buckie?

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.

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.

What is all-in ballast?

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