Getting the right ballast and gravel

Decorative areas

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.

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.

How delivery works in Ross-on-Wye

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Ross-on-Wye gets around 16h 43m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
