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.

Quantities: a worked example

A base 3 × 3 m and 150 mm deep is 1.35 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 3.09 tonnes of all-in ballast and 21 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

How delivery works in Wolverhampton

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Wolverhampton 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.
• On busy streets in Wolverhampton, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Your questions answered

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Wolverhampton?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.
