Gravel Driveways in Bewdley

Looking to transform your Bewdley property with a driveway that's both stylish and practical? A gravel driveway is an affordable, low-maintenance solution that instantly enhances kerb appeal.

Perfect for both rural and residential settings, gravel adds rustic charm and excellent drainage, making it a smart alternative to paved surfaces.

Our team installs custom gravel driveways that balance functionality and aesthetics, using premium materials that stay stable under cars and weather alike. Whether you’re updating an existing drive or starting from scratch, we offer tailored installations to suit any layout or home style in the Bewdley area.

Why Choose a Gravel Driveway in Bewdley?

Gravel driveways are prized for their versatility and natural appearance. They complement Bewdley’s countryside feel while still providing strong performance under foot and wheel. With proper installation, gravel creates a porous surface that handles rainwater efficiently, reducing puddles and standing water. It’s also easy to top up or refresh over the years, making it a cost-effective option long-term. Choose from a range of gravel types and sizes to suit your home’s look and your preferences — from decorative golden shingle to sharp contemporary grey.

Our Gravel Driveway Installation Process

Design & Planning

We begin with a site visit to assess access, levels, and drainage. We'll then plan the layout and finish to fit your home.

Ground Preparation

All vegetation and old surfacing are removed. We level the ground and add a membrane to prevent weed growth.

Sub-base Creation

A solid crushed rock or MOT Type 1 base is laid, compacted, and constructed with consistent levels and proper fall.

Edging Installation

Edges are fitted to keep gravel contained and add a neat finish — choose from timber, block, or metal edging.

Gravel Layering

Multiple levels of gravel are laid, with the top layer selected for comfort and aesthetics.

Benefits of a New Gravel Driveway in Bewdley

They’re an excellent way to add kerb appeal at a fraction of the cost of block paving or tarmac. Gravel offers natural drainage, helping avoid runoff problems, and it can be easily refreshed over the years without major work.

With a choice of colours and stone sizes, you can create a finish that’s totally unique to your property, whether you want a subtle rustic look or a more refined driveway with contrasting edging.

On average, you can expect gravel driveways in the Bewdley area to range between £55–£90 per square metre, fully installed. We provide free quotes that include all labour, waste removal, materials, and finish work — with no hidden charges.
