Sand and Ballast Suppliers in Watford, Hemel Hempstead and across the wider Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire region
Ballast is a catch-all term used for a variety of loose materials made up of small individual particles. Gravel is an example of ballast with larger particles, while at the other end of the scale, you have various gradations of sand from coarse to fine. They are used in a wide variety of surfacing and landscaping jobs, from drainage beds, pathways, and creating a stable base for laying paving to filling and weighing down items to prevent them from being knocked or blown over. At Watford Plant Hire and Grab Hire, we stock and supply a wide range of sand and ballast in various sizes for the benefit of our Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire customers.
Shingle Suppliers
In landscaping and surfacing terms, shingle refers to chips or flakes of stone that are laid at ground level as part of the project. It’s an ideal material for protecting delicate plant roots from excessive rain, creating an effective drainage and filtering solution. It can also be mixed with asphalt to provide a cheaper alternative to block paving or tarmac driveways. We supply a variety of stone shingle, delivering them in bulk to domestic, commercial, and industrial clients alike.

MOT Type 1—Crushed Concrete
Crushed concrete is exactly what it sounds like: recycled concrete that has been passed through a crusher to produce a loose construction material. It can be crushed to various sizes, depending on the needs of the customer, and is a versatile component for a range of surfacing jobs. This includes public road surfacing, where it often forms a base layer for tarmac or asphalt, hence its trade name, MOT (Ministry of Transport) Type 1. We recover and recycle thousands of tonnes of concrete each year, creating a steady supply of crushed concrete for our customers’ projects.
