Gravel & shingle

Norfolk's
gravel
driveways.

01 — Why Gravel

Affordable. Adaptable.

Done properly — membrane, compacted Type 1 and a granite dust blinding beneath — gravel stays put, drains freely and looks the part for years.

02 — How it's built

Built to stay put.

Loose gravel tipped onto soil ruts and migrates. Built up in layers over a proper base, it stays where it's laid and drains freely.

01
Excavate

Dig out & set the falls

Strip back to formation and grade so water runs where it should.

02
Membrane

Weed membrane laid

A geotextile membrane separates the ground from the stone above and keeps weeds down.

03
Sub-base

Compacted MOT Type 1

A compacted Type 1 sub-base — the layer that actually carries the weight.

04
Blind

Layer of granite dust

Granite dust is spread and compacted over the Type 1 to bind it and leave a true, even surface.

05
Stone

Your choice of stone on top

The stone you have chosen is spread and levelled off to finish.

06 — FAQs

Common questions.

Won't the gravel move around or rut?

Not when the base is right. Gravel tipped straight onto soil ruts and spreads; over a membrane, compacted Type 1 and a blinded granite dust layer it beds in and stays where it's laid.

Is gravel good for drainage?

Excellent — water soaks straight through, so there's no standing water, and it's naturally SuDS-friendly.

Is it cheaper than other surfaces?

Generally yes, particularly over large areas — it's one of the most cost-effective ways to surface a driveway or access.

How much maintenance does it need?

Very little — an occasional rake to keep it level and a top-up of stone every few years is all it really takes.

What gravel colours can I have?

A wide range — golds, greys and naturals — so you can complement the property and the landscaping around it.

Is a gravel driveway secure?

The crunch underfoot is a natural deterrent, and a stabilised gravel surface stays firm and even to walk and drive on.
