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.
Before your Wisbech delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Wisbech is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
