Planning the drop in Dunstable

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

• On busy streets in Dunstable, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order 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.

Decorative areas

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