Delivering ballast and gravel in Moray

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Across most of Moray, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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.

Ballast & Gravel questions

Do you deliver ballast and gravel to trades and homeowners in Moray?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.

Can I add other materials to my Moray 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.
