Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

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.

How delivery works in Enfield

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Enfield 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.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around EN1 are priced to the exact address.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
