Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

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 × 2.4 m and 100 mm deep is 0.86 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.98 tonnes of all-in ballast and 14 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Before your Ruislip 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. Ruislip is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around HA4 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Ruislip, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Ballast & Gravel questions

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Ruislip?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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 and gravel to trades and homeowners in Ruislip?

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