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.

Delivering ballast and gravel in Westhill

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• With roughly 6h 40m of daylight in Westhill around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Your questions answered

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Westhill?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can I add other materials to my Westhill 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.

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.
