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 3.6 × 3 m and 150 mm deep is 1.62 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 3.71 tonnes of all-in ballast and 26 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Delivering ballast and gravel in New Malden

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
