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.

Getting ballast and gravel onto your Whitstable site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Whitstable gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
