Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

Gravel size

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

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.

Before your Morley delivery arrives

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 7h 25m of daylight in Morley around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Morley gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
