Delivery to Burntwood: what helps

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Burntwood gets around 16h 52m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• On busy streets in Burntwood, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Choosing ballast and gravel

Decorative areas

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

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.
