Delivery to Warwickshire: what helps
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Warwickshire.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CV are priced to the exact address.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- On busy streets in Warwickshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Things to check before you order
Gravel size
20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.
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.
Ballast & Gravel in Warwickshire: questions
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.
What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?
Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.
