Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Caldicot

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Caldicot

Caldicot 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. Caldicot sits on the flatter ground of the Severn estuary in Monmouthshire, with much of the town made up of newer housing estates built from the later 20th century onward, giving fairly consistent, level ground conditions across most of the properties we survey. This makes surface choice largely a matter of budget and preference rather than site constraints, with block paving, tarmac and resin-bound all performing well here. Given the town's estuary-side position, we still check drainage and run-off carefully on every job.
