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.

Planning the drop in Willesden

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
