No, this product is solely a pre-blended sand and stone aggregate. You will need to purchase cement separately.
While it can be used for the base, it is not decorative. You would typically need a finishing layer of gravel or paving on top.
Volume varies based on the required strength of your mix and the amount of cement added, but generally, 125kg of ballast is intended for smaller-scale projects.
As a natural material, the grading and stone size can fluctuate between batches; this is standard for quarried products.
It is highly recommended to store them in a dry, covered environment to prevent the bags from rotting or the contents from becoming saturated with rainwater.
Adjust the cement ratio or add a small amount of extra aggregate if necessary, as natural variation in grading occurs.
Use a heavy-duty garden waste bag to contain the spill and use the material immediately to ensure it remains clean and free of contaminants.
To achieve the best results, ensure your site is properly prepared with appropriate shuttering or forms before mixing. While the aggregate is pre-blended, always verify that your specific project's structural requirements match the standard concrete ratios expected for ballast-based mixes. Store the bags in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture contamination or bag degradation. When transporting, use appropriate lifting techniques to avoid injury, as each bag weighs 25kg. If the material is exposed to dampness, inspect the bags for tearing to prevent the aggregate from spilling or clumping.
