Getting the right ballast and gravel

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 4 × 1.8 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 Leatherhead site

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around KT22 are priced to the exact address.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Leatherhead gets around 16h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
