Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

All-in ballast is convenient for general concrete. For more control over the mix, use separate sharp sand and gravel.

Decorative areas

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

Delivering ballast and gravel in Chichester

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Ordering ballast and gravel for Chichester: FAQs

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Chichester?

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.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Chichester?

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.
