Delivering ballast and gravel in Golborne

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Getting the right 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.

A base 3 × 1.8 m and 150 mm deep is 0.81 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.86 tonnes of all-in ballast and 13 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator
