Before you order 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.

Getting ballast and gravel onto your Swansea site

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

• In summer Swansea gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• On busy streets in Swansea, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Working out quantities for your Swansea job

Ballast & Gravel in Swansea: questions

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Swansea?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can I add other materials to my Swansea 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.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.

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.
