Bagged Products

Buying bagged aggregates (like gravel, sand, or decorative stone) instead of loose bulk material can be a smart choice depending on your project. Here are the main advantages:

Convenience & Handling

Easier to transport – Bagged aggregates fit in the back of most cars or vans, so you don’t always need a trailer or large delivery.
Manageable size – 20–25 kg bags are easier to lift, move, and store than a full bulk bag (850–1000 kg).
No need for machinery – You don’t need a wheelbarrow or shovel right away; you can carry a bag directly to the work area.

Storage & Cleanliness

Less mess – Bags keep the material contained, reducing spillage and waste.
Weather protection – Most are plastic-wrapped, keeping aggregates dry and clean until you’re ready to use them.
Easier to store – You can stack and store them neatly, even in smaller spaces like sheds or garages.

Flexibility

Buy only what you need – Perfect for small jobs or topping up rather than over-ordering bulk quantities.
Different aggregates at once – You can mix and match bags (sand, gravel, chippings) without committing to a full bulk load.
Great for patching or repairs – Ideal when you don’t need a large delivery but just enough to fill a hole, repair concrete, or finish a path.

Accessibility

Available everywhere – You can pick them up at most DIY stores, builders’ merchants, or garden centres.
No waiting for delivery – Grab them the same day and start your project immediately.

Bulk bag or loose load

Smaller quantities go out as bulk bags of roughly 800 kg, delivered on a pallet network vehicle and set down kerbside on solid, level ground with a pump truck. If the bag has to go over a wall or hedge, choose the crane option and a HIAB lorry places it where you want it. For larger jobs a loose load tipper is cheaper per tonne, but the access route has to be at least 3.5 m wide and able to carry a heavy goods vehicle, and the material is tipped onto hard standing. Small jobs can also be ordered as 20 kg poly bags on a pallet.

How much to order

Work out length × width × depth in metres to get the volume, then convert to tonnes using the density shown on each product page. A depth of 40–50 mm suits a decorative surface and 50–75 mm a surface that will be walked or driven on. The calculator does the arithmetic for each material in this category.

Delivery times

Deliveries normally arrive one to three working days after payment clears. You do not have to be at home, but if nobody is there the driver decides where to unload, so leave written instructions if the spot matters. For quantities beyond a single load, ask for a quote.
