Gravel Driveways

A gravel driveway is quick to lay, easy on the budget and drains freely, which makes it a practical choice for many homes and rural properties around Wiltshire. Laid over a membrane, and ideally a stabilising grid, gravel stays where you put it instead of spreading into borders or off the drive.

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

Our process

Our process, step by step

How your project runs, from the first visit to the finished job.

  1. 1

    Survey and quote

    We assess the ground and drainage and agree the stone and layout.

  2. 2

    Prepare and edge

    We dig out, compact a sub-base and set edgings so the stone has something to sit against.

  3. 3

    Membrane and grid

    A weed membrane goes down, along with a stabilising grid if you have opted for one.

  4. 4

    Spread and level

    Stone is tipped, raked out and levelled to a consistent depth across the whole drive.

FAQs

Gravel Driveways questions

Will the gravel spread everywhere?

Not once it is edged and gridded. The cells of a stabilising grid hold each pocket of stone where it was laid, so you get a firm surface to walk and drive on instead of ruts and bare patches.

Is a gravel driveway good for drainage?

It is one of the best. Rain soaks straight through into the ground, which normally satisfies SuDS rules without a separate drainage run.

How much upkeep does it need?

A rake over now and then, and a top-up of stone every few years. A grid underneath cuts even that down.

Can I park heavy vehicles on gravel?

Yes. On a properly built base with a stabilising grid, the surface stays firm under cars and vans.
