Gravel Driveways

Standard Gravel

This is an ideal option for a limited budget and can offer you that all important kerb appeal. We work by first removing your existing gravel, block paving or tarmac. We then supply a new gravel surface and install it.

There are additional options such as relaying the sub base and laying new edge restraint, or we can work with your existing foundations if you prefer.

Nidagravel

Although gravel driveways are very appealing, they can present accessibility issues and the surface can become undulated over time. For example, it can be hard to walk over such a surface in high heels or push a bike or wheelchair over the gravel as the stones give way beneath. Gravel can also drift, meaning greater attention needed for maintenance.

Solving the problem

Nidagravel is our preferred brand which offers a solution to the above problems, bringing the durability benefits that you get with block paving or tarmac but with the porosity of gravel. Nidagravel sets the gravel within a sturdy container that consists of a membrane base and a honeycomb cell structure.

The membrane is a polypropylene sheet that serves to both set a flat surface and, in conjunction with the honeycomb cell structure, prevent the rooting and growth of weeds.

The honeycomb serves to contain the gravel in sturdy, compact cells that both prevents the drifing of the stones and give them a density of packing such that walking over the surface in high heels or pushing a bike or wheelchair over the surface goes un-noticed.

You get a comforting ‘crunch’ when people or vehicles come onto your driveway without any of the problems normally associated with traditional gravel surfaces.
