Ballast & Gravel delivered to Cambuslang
Ballast (all-in ballast) is a mixed sand and gravel aggregate used with cement to make concrete; gravel and shingle are graded stones used for drainage, bedding and decoration.
We deliver ballast and gravel to sites, driveways and yards across Cambuslang, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

How delivery works in Cambuslang
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Cambuslang is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- 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.

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.
Questions about ballast and gravel delivery in Cambuslang
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cambuslang?
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.
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.
Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Cambuslang?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
Do you deliver ballast in bags?
Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.
