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.

Delivering ballast and gravel in Redcar

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TS10 are priced to the exact address.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Redcar gets around 17h 17m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Ballast & Gravel in Redcar: questions

Can I add other materials to my Redcar 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.

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Redcar?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

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.

What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?

Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.
