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.

Gravel size

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

Planning the drop in Littlehampton

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Littlehampton 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.
• In summer Littlehampton gets around 16h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
