Our Gravel Driveway Installation Process 

Here’s how we ensure your driveway is solid, level, and built to last:

Site Preparation

We begin with excavation, removing old materials and preparing the area with correct levels and falls for drainage.

Edging Installation

We install concrete, metal, or block paving edging to contain the gravel and keep the design tidy.

Sub-base Construction

A compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base is laid to provide a solid foundation, critical for longevity and stability.

Weed Barrier

We fit a high-quality membrane to suppress weeds while still allowing water to drain freely.

Gravel Laying

Gravel is laid to a depth of approx. 40–50mm, raked evenly and compacted if needed.

Final Touches

We check levels, top up where needed, and give your new driveway a final rake for a flawless finish.
