Overview

Gravel Driveways across Surrey & London

A gravel driveway is a cost-effective, natural-looking option that drains freely and suits a country or period property well. The key to a gravel drive that does not rut or migrate is the base beneath it, so we build a stable, well-drained foundation and can fit a stabilising grid where the driveway is used heavily. We install gravel driveways across Surrey & London.

We fit edgings to hold the stone in place and a membrane or grid to keep it where it belongs, in your choice of decorative gravel. Maintenance is straightforward: an occasional rake and a top-up every few years keeps it looking fresh, and a stabilising grid locks the stone in place on heavily used or gently sloping drives.

What’s included

  • Excavation and a compacted, free-draining sub-base
  • Edgings to hold the gravel in place
  • A stabilising grid or membrane where needed
  • Your choice of decorative gravel

FAQs

Gravel Driveways FAQs

Will the gravel spread onto the road or lawn?

Proper edge restraints and the right depth keep gravel contained. For heavily used drives we can lay a stabilising grid to lock the stone in place.

Is a gravel driveway low maintenance?

It is straightforward: an occasional rake and a top-up of stone every few years keeps it looking fresh. A good base is what keeps maintenance low.

Is gravel suitable for a sloped driveway?

On gentle slopes, yes, especially with a stabilising grid to lock the stone in place. For steeper drives we will advise whether tarmac or resin would hold up better.

What gravel colours can I choose?

A range of decorative gravels and shingles in natural golds, greys, buffs and flints. We can show you options to suit the property.

Do you use a stabilising grid?

Where a drive is used heavily or sloped, a grid or membrane keeps the gravel stable and stops it rutting or migrating. We advise whether it is worth it for your drive.
