Things to check before you order

Decorative areas

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

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.

Planning the drop in Heston

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

• On busy streets in Heston, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Sizing your order

A base 4 × 2.4 m and 100 mm deep is 0.96 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 2.2 tonnes of all-in ballast and 15 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Ballast & Gravel in Heston: questions

Can I add other materials to my Heston 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.

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.

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.

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

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.
