They are a low-cost alternative to some of the more expensive solutions whilst still providing durability and the capability of transforming the overall look of your home.

With their many different sizes and colours, you have control over how your driveway will look and feel. They are also very durable and create fantastic traction in all weather conditions.
Gravel driveways are a low-maintenance, permeable surface. You simply need to occasionally rake them to level them, as stones will spread through regular use of the driveway or patio.
It is available in a wide range of colours, suitable for any home, and if correctly installed by a contractor like Summit Driveways, will give you many years of use without any problems.
Our installation process for gravel driveways starts with installing a solid Type 1 MOT foundation for the driveway or patio area, followed by heavy-duty permeable membrane sheeting to prevent weeds.
The next step is preference as some clients prefer installing plastic stabilisers on the driveway to keep the gravel locked in place. However, it is not always required if a gravel driveway is based correctly and has a solid edging restraint around it.
The gravel we will supply and lay at your home is picked from quality suppliers to ensure a high-grade decorative stone capable of comfortably withstanding traffic. On driveways, we always recommend a minimum of 20mm gravel stones to ensure stability for larger vehicles.
On patio areas, you can easily downgrade the size to a more shingle-style stone as no vehicles will be going over it regularly. As an added bonus, you can use small gravel/shingle for a maintenance-free garden or flower bed as well.
During our free quote, we can provide you with samples of the different sizes and colour of the gravel to help you decide on a style that will suit you home. To make a gravel driveway really stand out we recommend a granite cobble stone apron or border around it.
