Getting ballast and gravel onto your Hanworth site

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Choosing ballast and gravel

Gravel size

20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.

Decorative areas

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

Your questions answered

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

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.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Hanworth delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from ballast and gravel to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
