What are the benefits of driveway gravel?
Driveway gravel can be stylish, reliable and affordable.
The driveway is the first area of that guests will see when they turn up at your home, so making a good impression is key. With that in mind, we asked our experts why driveway gravel can be such an appealing option for your home.
It doesn’t crack or change appearance
On larger surfaces, concrete can crack over time, especially when exposed to harsh weather conditions. A concrete driveway can fade over longer periods of time too, but there isn’t such a problem with gravel. It will never deteriorate or crack, making it a good long-term option.
It looks (and sounds) great
Driveway gravel can look fantastic, and with a range of colours and styles of gravel available, you can be sure to find something that matches your home’s exterior. On top of this though, the sound of a car pulling up on gravel is also nice and can actually alert you to visitors or even intruders.
It’s weather resistant
Driveway gravel will look great in all weathers and unlike tarmac, it won’t require extra drainage to cope with wetter conditions. Driveway grids can provide enough drainage and help you avoid surface flooding, too.
It’s affordable
Driveway gravel can be a lot cheaper than concrete or asphalt, especially if you have a large surface that you’re looking to cover. Check out our path and driveway materials for more info on the products that we have available.
