Driveways, patios & paving

Gravel driveways done properly

Gravel is the most affordable way to surface a drive, it drains freely, and it suits a frontage where a hard black surface would look wrong. The usual complaint is that it migrates: ruts form and the stone ends up on the pavement.

That is a construction problem, not a gravel problem. We lay a compacted base, install a stabilising grid or membrane so the stone is held in cells rather than floating loose, and restrain every edge. Filled to the right depth the surface stays put, the wheels do not dig in and the stone stays on the drive.

Common questions

Gravel Driveways FAQs

Will the stone end up on the road?

Not if the edges are restrained and the stone is held in a grid at the right depth. Loose gravel tipped on bare ground migrates; a properly built gravel drive does not.

Is gravel hard to walk on?

Smaller, angular stone in a grid system walks much better than deep rounded pebble. We will show you the difference before you choose.

Does gravel need topping up?

A well-built gravel drive loses very little. An occasional top-up and a rake through is normally all it asks for.

Can I get a wheelchair or pushchair over it?

A grid-stabilised surface with fine angular stone is far more manageable than loose gravel. If accessibility is the priority we will talk you through resin bound as well, which is smooth throughout.

What about weeds?

A membrane under the stone stops weeds coming up from below. Anything that appears has blown in on top and pulls out easily.
