How delivery works in Wood Green

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Decorative areas

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.
