If a product arrives damaged, please sign the delivery ticket as damaged and take photos of the item. We're unable to collect damaged products, so once a replacement has been arranged please dispose of the damaged item yourself.
Rivar Sand and Gravel offer a superior range of sand and gravel, landscaping materials, forest bark, artificial grass, porcelain paving tiles, decorative aggregates, rockery stone, water features, natural stone, and building materials to trade and private customers across Berkshire, north Hampshire and north Surrey.
All our 3 branches deliver and our coverage area is 'loosely' from the Wiltshire border, through to Maidenhead/ Slough, and from Henley-on-Thames south to Ascot and Sunningdale. Our newest dept, at Hare Hatch on the A4 just east of Reading, serves Caversham, Twyford, Wargrave, Sonning, Henley-on-Thames and the Shiplake areas.
Collections from depots are, of course, welcomed too. All branches carry good stock levels and have display areas and show gardens to provide that extra little bit of inspiration. Our helpful and well-trained staff are here to help you so please don't hesitate to ask us for advice.

Local deliveries go out on our own vehicles, offering both loose tip and bagged options. Our largest lorry carries up to 9 tonnes and has a crane for lifting bulk bags and pallets, needing around 11 feet of access and reaching up to 12 feet from the vehicle (bags/pallets are normally lifted over barriers up to 4 feet high). If access is tight, smaller vehicles are available - just call us on 01635 871003 to discuss.
Deliveries outside our local area are sent via our suppliers on tail-lift vehicles, dropped at the kerbside or on the driveway. The ground needs to be flat and solid - not sloped or gravelled - and these deliveries take 5-7 working days to one address only. A few postcode areas (AB, BT, GY, HS, IM, IV, JE, KA27-28, KW, PA20 and above, PH, PO30-41, TR21-25 and the Isles of Scilly) need a call to our Newbury office before ordering.
You can cancel within 14 days of delivery provided the product is unused and in its original, full packaging (cement can't be returned). A 30% restocking charge plus a collection fee applies, collection takes 7-10 days to arrange, and refunds are issued back to your original payment method.
We deliver locally Monday to Friday, with Saturday deliveries sometimes available on request. During spring and summer we usually need 4-5 days' notice, though we can occasionally fit in shorter notice. We'll confirm a delivery day in advance, but can't guarantee an exact time due to traffic and routing on the day.

After the shift of the Tadley depot along to the next plot at Greenacres, Darren was In need of some dry storage and although the move was only 100 foot it didn’t mean it was any less work!
