What Makes a Gravel Driveway Installation in Bristol The Right Choice for Your Home?
Gravel driveways are one of the most popular driveway installations we do. The natural appearance of gravel and choice of colours makes it versatile. We find that this style of driveway complements period homes wonderfully, while also offering a practical and affordable solution for newer builds.
With Bristol’s mix of wet winters and warmer summers, gravel is a sensible choice - its permeability means rain drains away naturally, reducing surface water problems.
Want something more stylish? Our imprinted concrete driveways in Bristol replicate premium paving styles with very little maintenance.
Gravel Driveways FAQ
Questions We’re Often Asked About Gravel Driveway Installations in Bristol
How long does a gravel driveway last?
Provided you give your gravel driveway proper care (and the occasional top-up every few years), it can last for decades, making it exceptionally good value for money.
Will the gravel move around?
Yes. Some movement is totally normal. Our Bristol driveway installers use techniques such as the right depth, a strong membrane, and proper edging to help keep stones in place and minimise shifting.
Is gravel suitable for cars?
Yes. Gravel is tough enough for daily vehicle use. For stability, larger or angular stones are the best choice.
Do I need planning permission?
No. Gravel is naturally permeable, so it normally falls under permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission.
