Before you order ballast and gravel

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 4 × 2.4 m and 150 mm deep is 1.44 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 3.3 tonnes of all-in ballast and 23 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator
