10mm Ballast

We're hugely proud of our ever-growing Trade and DIY range which can be used my professional Landscapers and Builders, as well as retail customers that enjoy DIY! As a leading Builders Merchant in Dorset, these high quality products are supplied at competitive prices. 

Usually, our Ballast is a sandy-coloured brown with different coloured stones. Made up of mainly sharp sand, our Ballast consists of mainly 10mm stones, which go down in size to fine sand. This makes for the ideal material for creating a finer, smoother concrete mixture, as well as various uses for pipe bedding and levelling building and landscaping constructions.

Our 10mm Ballast is made up of completely naturally-quarried materials, which usually include small sized Shingle Stone ranging from 6mm and 10mm stones, with a mixture of Sharp Sand. For this reason, we wouldn't recommend using 10mm Ballast in decorative areas in your garden, as the colour can vary depending on where it has been quarried from.

10mm Ballast for Making Concrete

Builders have many choices of what they can use for projects that involve creating building foundations and laying concrete bases. Ballast has similar properties to the likes of building materials such as Scalpings 40mm and Hoggin. These materials are hugely versatile due to their permeability and low cost. 

With a typical Concrete mix containing aggregates and sand, Ballast makes for the perfect material to add to Concrete mixes. Due to its consistency, it tends to make a finer and smoother Concrete mixture. 

Builders and Landscapers like using Ballast as its easy to work with and very consistent; This concrete mixture can be used for securing fence posts as well as placing garden sheds. 

When it comes to construction, Ballast makes for a very sought-after material for when it comes to the foundation building. Ballast is a fairly permeable aggregate, which also helps with the prevention of floods in modern building constructions. 

10mm Ballast for Landscaping

Ballast can be used for various landscaping projects; if you're looking to lay a brand new patio onto an area that has never had paving on it before, you'll want to ensure the ground is properly prepped and completely level. Ballast comes in handy for projects like this as the aggregates help create a nice sub-base, while the smaller, sand particles fill in any gaps. 

If you're create edging around a path, Ballast will also come in handy for the sub-base mixture. You could also use it as a permeable aggregate underneath other hard landscaping features such as Artificial Grass or Decorative Stones.
