Last week kept our volumetric trucks busy, and with this lovely weather, it's a great time for , , and those working on small-scale developments to take advantage and get ahead on outdoor projects ☀️.

If you are planning a base, footing, slab, driveway or other concrete job, just remember that hot weather can make pours a bit more challenging.

A few simple tips:
✅ try to schedule pours for the cooler parts of the day
✅ make sure everything is ready before the concrete arrives
✅ work efficiently once the pour starts - it sets more quickly!
✅ do not let the concrete dry out too quickly in strong sun
✅ think about aftercare and curing for the best finish

Hot weather can be great for progress, but a little planning goes a long way.

If you need for your project in Plymouth, Devon or Cornwall, speak to the St. Mary’s team. We are always happy to offer practical advice and help you get booked in.

At busy times, we can be fully booked up to a week in advance, so it is always worth planning ahead and checking lead times with the team. We will always do our best to fit you in sooner where possible.

Thinking about refreshing your raised beds or bringing a Mediterranean vibe to your garden 🌺 ?

Our 20mm Golden Flint can be a great choice for this type of planting scheme. It's warm, honey and cream tones perfectly mimic the arid landscapes of the Mediterranean coast and provides a rustic backdrop that makes drought-tolerant, silver-foliaged plants pop 🌿 while beautifully complementing traditional terracotta pots.

It also helps create a neat, low-maintenance finish, acts as a w**d suppressant and improves drainage, working particularly well with ornamental grasses, lavender, and other sun-loving varieties ☀️.

We'd love to hear what our customers prefer for their raised beds... send us a pic or just let us know which decorative organic or non-organic toppings you like best and why .

And, if you are planning a raised bed, border or garden refresh and are not sure which gravel would work best, just ask our team. We are always happy to offer practical advice.

A recent awkward access at — proof that sometimes the most challenging locations make for the most rewarding results.

Projects like these are a good reminder that preparation, practical know-how and the right approach on site all matter, especially when access is far from easy.

Not every pour comes with views quite like these, and the effort was well worth it for those incredible, sunshiney 😍 ☀️ 😍

Whether it’s uneven ground, tight access, remote locations or a site that needs a bit more planning, St. Mary’s can help get and where they need to be.

And honestly, that view made it all worthwhile! 😍

A lot of people think they need to over-order concrete “just in case”.

In reality, that can mean unnecessary cost 💷 & unnecessary waste 🗑️ .

One of the benefits of volumetric concrete is that it is mixed on site, helping customers order more accurately and avoid paying for more than they need. It is one of the reasons volumetric supply can be such a practical option for many jobs.

At St. Mary’s, we are always happy to talk through your project and help you understand the best option before you order

Concrete and cement are not the same thing — and yes, they get mixed up all the time (no pun intended😜).

So, what's the difference?

Cement is one ingredient used to make concrete, alongside aggregates, water and other materials depending on the mix required . Cement is one of the most commonly used materials in the world but is rarely used on its own as it cracks. It is commonly used for rendering, grouting, or making mortar.

Concrete on the other hand is used for durable construction like foundations, roads, and pavements and continues to gain strength over time 💪.

It might sound like a small detail, but understanding the difference can help customers ask the right questions, order more confidently and make better decisions for their project 👍

At St. Mary’s, we believe expert advice should be practical and straightforward. Whether you're working on a DIY renovation, project managing a self-build, or planning a landscaping project, our team is always happy to help you choose the right product for the job.

That is one of the reasons customers across Devon and Cornwall have trusted St. Mary’s for over 20 years.
