Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy sand and gravel near Basingstoke?

What's the difference between building sand and sharp sand?
Building sand is fine, soft sand for mortar and rendering. Sharp sand is coarser with angular grains for concrete, screeding, and drainage. Building sand for bricklaying, sharp sand for structural applications. Both available for delivery to Basingstoke.
How much sand do I need for a patio?
For a patio sub-base, allow 50mm depth of sharp sand. A 20m² patio needs approximately 1.5 tonnes. For jointing compound, add 10% extra. Call 01635 865679 and we'll calculate exact quantities for your Basingstoke project.

What size gravel is best for driveways?
20mm gravel is ideal for driveways in Basingstoke. It compacts well, provides good drainage, and stands up to vehicle traffic. 10mm pea shingle works for lighter use pathways. We deliver both grades throughout Hampshire.
