Ballast – Reliable Aggregate for Concrete & Sub-Base Construction
Ballast is a dependable, multi-purpose aggregate made from a balanced blend of sharp sand and gravel. Designed to deliver strength and stability, it’s an essential material for a wide range of building and landscaping applications.
Primarily used in concrete mixes, ballast provides the solid foundation needed for footings, foundations, and pathways. Its coarse, well-graded texture ensures excellent compaction and long-term durability, making it ideal for both small-scale DIY jobs and large construction projects.
Ballast also works effectively as a sub-base for driveways, patios, and shed bases, offering strong load-bearing support and a consistent finish. Its natural grey appearance integrates well with surrounding materials for a clean and professional result.
Key Uses:
Mixing concrete for foundations, footings, and slab work
Sub-base for patios, driveways, and hard landscaping
General construction and groundworks
Suitable for both residential and commercial projects
