Driveways

Gravel Driveways

Gravel offers a traditional, free-draining driveway finish that works especially well for larger entrances, rural homes and properties where a softer appearance is preferred. Correct preparation, secure edging and an optional cellular stabilisation system help control movement, reduce rutting and keep the stone contained.

  • Excavation and a compacted sub-base
  • A weed-suppressing membrane under the stone
  • Available gravel-stabilising grid to keep the surface firm and level
  • Selection of decorative aggregate and colour
  • Edgings to contain the gravel

FAQs

Gravel Driveways questions

How do you stop driveway gravel from spreading?

With correct edgings and a stabilising grid, it stays put. The grid holds the stone in cells so it remains level and firm rather than migrating.

Does gravel work well where drainage is important?

Yes — gravel is naturally permeable, so it usually meets SuDS rules and helps rainwater soak away on site.

What ongoing care does a gravel driveway need?

Very little. An occasional rake keeps it level, and a stabilising grid stops the stone migrating.

Can a gravel driveway support larger vehicles?

Yes — on a properly constructed base with a stabilising grid, it remains firm under cars and vans.
