Getting the right ballast and gravel

Gravel size

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

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.

Delivery to Carnoustie: 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. Carnoustie is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
