Picking the right product

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.

How delivery works in Tewkesbury

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

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around GL20 are priced to the exact address.
  • On busy streets in Tewkesbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
