Things to check before you order

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.

Getting ballast and gravel onto your Havant site

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

  • With roughly 7h 56m of daylight in Havant around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • In summer Havant gets around 16h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
