Why Choose Gravel for Your New Driveway?

Gravel has many advantages over materials like concrete, especially if your driveway is quite large. It doesn’t crack and is available in a range of finishes and colours, giving you more options than traditional concrete. If it’s laid properly, using a proper foundational structure like a grid or base resin, then the gravel will mostly stay where you want it.

Why Choose Us for Your Gravel Driveway?

The most common concern we hear from our customers in relation to gravel driveways is that they are hard work and a short-term material. And it is true that when gravel is poured on a poorly prepared surface or no retaining technology is used, then gravel can move over time.

At All Terrain landscaping, we take the time to prepare the ground before laying the gravel to prevent weed growth and we use gravel grids or a resin base to keep the gravel in place.

10 Benefits of Gravel Driveways

Gravel may be seen as a low-cost option, but it does not have to be a poor relation to other driveway materials. Here are 10 reasons to consider a gravel driveway:

Low-cost option

Compared with other driveway materials, such as block pavers or resin bonded gravel, it’s a low-cost option (depending on your choice of materials).
Low maintenance

Other than sweeping up a little loose gravel, if your gravel driveway has been installed correctly, it should be relatively easy to keep it looking good.
Easy to repair

A gravel driveway won’t crack like a cement driveway or wear down like some paved materials. Over many years you may find that you need to top up the gravel or replace areas with new. This is very easy to do.
Quick to install

When compared with block paving, gravel driveways are fast to install once the underlying layer and retaining grid or resin is in place.
Weather-resistant

Your new gravel driveway will withstand extremes of hot and cold and won’t be adversely affected by frost, ensuring it looks good for years to come. Gravel is naturally free draining so will comply to environmental legislation and you won’t have to deal with standing water on your drive in wet weather.

Huge range of finishes

You can choose from a wide range of colours and types of gravel, from the traditional ‘stone’ look to bright colours to make your driveway uniquely yours.
Great for fiddly areas

If you are dealing with an awkward shape or want to include narrow paths in a single, seamless look, gravel is perfect for small, difficult spaces that are unsuited to pavers.
Looks stunning over larger areas

Gravel is an ideal solution if your driveway is very large and can look stunning outside a larger home where you need parking for several vehicles. It’s also easy to increase the size of your driveway later if you need to.
Durable

Your gravel driveway will keep looking and performing as new for years, which is why we guarantee our work for 10 years.
Smooths over uneven surfaces

If you are dealing with an uneven surface, gravel is versatile enough to accommodate and smooth out uneven surfaces that may be challenging with materials such as pavers.
