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.

Quantities: a worked example

A base 3 × 2.4 m and 100 mm deep is 0.72 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.65 tonnes of all-in ballast and 12 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Getting ballast and gravel onto your Hindley site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
