Getting ballast and gravel onto your Campbeltown site

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Campbeltown is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PA28 are priced to the exact address.
  • On busy streets in Campbeltown, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Before you order 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.
