Gravel that stays where it’s put
Gravel is the most affordable driveway surface, fully permeable and right at home with country houses, cottages and long rural drives. Its reputation for ruts and stones scattering everywhere comes from gravel tipped straight onto soil.
We excavate and lay a compacted sub-base, add a weed membrane, then fit a gravel stabilisation grid. The grid’s honeycomb cells hold the stones in place, so cars don’t sink in or push gravel to the edges. We finish with kerb or timber edging and your choice of decorative gravel, Cotswold buff, golden flint, slate and more.
- Fully permeable, no planning permission needed
- Stabilising grids for a firm, rut-free surface
- Weed membrane to keep growth down
- Block, kerb, steel or timber edging

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most. Can’t see yours? Call us free on 0800 051 9335 or send us a message.
Will gravel end up on the road and lawn?
Not if it’s laid on a stabilising grid with a proper edge. The grid locks the stones in, and a block or kerb edge keeps them in place.
How much maintenance does a gravel driveway need?
Occasional raking and a top-up every few years. The membrane and grid keep weeds and ruts to a minimum.
Is gravel good for sloping drives?
Gentle slopes are fine on a grid system. For steeper slopes we’d usually recommend resin bound or block paving.
