Planning the drop in Gosport

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Picking the right product

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.
