10mm Ballast
As a distinguished Builders Merchant in Dorset, our pride lies in the continuous expansion of our Trade and DIY range, catering to professional landscapers, builders, and avid DIY enthusiasts alike. The assortment of high-quality products we offer stands out for its versatility and competitive pricing.
One of our standout products is the 10mm Ballast, a sandy-coloured brown mixture adorned with various stones. Comprising mainly sharp sand and 10mm stones that gradually decrease in size to fine sand, this ballast proves to be an ideal material for crafting a refined and smooth concrete mixture. Beyond that, its applications extend to pipe bedding and levelling in both building and landscaping constructions.
The 10mm Ballast we provide is meticulously composed of naturally quarried materials, featuring small-sized Shingle Stones ranging from 6mm to 10mm, combined with a mix of Sharp Sand. It's worth noting that due to the natural origin of these materials, the colour of the 10mm Ballast may vary depending on its quarry source. Consequently, it might not be the most suitable choice for decorative areas in your garden where uniform colour is paramount.

PLEASE NOTE: While every effort has been made to ensure our landscaping and building materials are free from contamination; there is always the chance that there may be small pieces of debris present. Please ensure you handle the sand with care when using it.
In the realm of construction, builders face myriad choices when selecting materials for projects involving foundations and concrete bases. Ballast (both 10 and 20mm), with properties akin to Scalpings 40mm and Hoggin, stands out for its versatility, permeability, and cost-effectiveness. When integrated into a concrete mix, Ballast proves to be the perfect ingredient. Its consistency contributes to a finer and smoother concrete mixture, making it a preferred choice among builders and landscapers alike. This mixture finds application in securing fence posts and placing garden sheds with ease and reliability. Beyond its ease of use, Ballast plays a pivotal role in foundation building. Its permeable nature aids in flood prevention in modern construction projects. Builders appreciate the reliability and functionality that 10mm Ballast brings to their concrete mixes, ensuring durability and stability in their structures. Landscaping projects demand meticulous attention to detail and the use of appropriate materials to ensure a successful outcome. When it comes to laying a new patio or creating edging around a path, proper ground preparation is essential. Here, the 10mm Ballast shines as a valuable resource. The aggregates in Ballast contribute to creating a sturdy sub-base, while the finer sand particles fill in gaps, ensuring a level and stable foundation for various landscaping features. Whether you're incorporating Artificial Grass, Decorative Stones, or other hard landscaping elements, the permeable nature of Ballast makes it an excellent choice for maintaining proper drainage and preventing water accumulation. In conclusion, our 10mm Ballast stands as a testament to our commitment to providing top-notch materials for diverse construction and landscaping needs. From crafting impeccable concrete mixes to laying the groundwork for stunning outdoor spaces, this versatile product has earned its place as a cornerstone in the toolkit of builders, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts alike.
