Gravel Driveways
WHY GET GRAVEL?
Gravel driveways are still one of the most popular driveway solutions on the market, one of the main reasons is that they are economical compared to other surface solutions. They can also enhance the look of any property, as it is attractive and versatile, with gravel being one of the most common surface materials for driveways throughout the U.K.
The crushed stone used is available in a wide variety of colours, and in many applications should be easy to maintain. Installation of a gravel driveway should be conducted by an experienced such as Chestnut Paving Oxted, Surrey, to ensure there is minimum ongoing maintenance for you our customer. We help with this by using stabilising cellular grids to create a naturally porous base into which gravel sits, so there is a reduced risk of movement.

As an added bonus you also get the great sound of that crunch underfoot when you walk across a gravel area, which could also be considered a safety feature!
There are so many reasons why you should opt for gravel driveways, below are the advantages that you derive when you choose gravel as your driveway option.
AFFORDABLE
Gravel is one of the most affordable surfacing options available on the market, so has become very popular especially for homes with long driveways. Even when combined with some block paved features etc, it is still easy on your budget.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Other than a top-dressing being required for the gravel material every few years, a gravel driveway is considered to be as easy to maintain as a paved surface. Gravel may sink due to environmental conditions such as heavy rainwater or snow, this is why filling in these sunken areas is occasionally required. Other than that all you will need to do is rake the stone back into place occasionally, and because gravel is permeable, it allows water to drain off into the ground.
QUICK TO INSTALL
Ordinarily installation of a gravel driveway can be completed in under a week, and once it in and settled you are able to make use of it right away.
