Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Bishop's Cleeve

Bishop's Cleeve customers looking for gravel & shingle driveways turn to Severn Vale Driveways. Gravel and shingle driveways suit period cottages, rural properties and larger drives where a natural, informal look is wanted without the cost of a fully bound surface. Done properly, it's a genuinely permeable, low-maintenance option — the key word being 'properly', because a gravel drive laid straight onto bare soil without edge restraints or a stable sub-base will rut, spread onto the lawn, and need topping up before long. We install proper edging, a compacted permeable sub-base and, where useful, a geotextile membrane to stop the stone working its way into the ground beneath, so the gravel stays where it's put. We can source a range of gravel and shingle types to suit the property, from traditional golden gravel to darker slate chippings. Bishop's Cleeve has grown into one of the largest villages in Gloucestershire, with substantial modern housing development north of Cheltenham giving most properties here flat, consistent ground and few planning restrictions. This makes it one of the more flexible areas in our coverage for surface choice — block paving, resin-bound and tarmac all perform well, and the decision usually comes down to style and budget rather than site conditions.
