Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Chepstow
Chepstow 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. Chepstow sits where the Wye meets the Severn estuary, a historic castle and racecourse town built partly on sloped ground running down toward the river. Properties near the historic centre sit within a conservation area, while newer developments further from the river offer flatter ground and more surface flexibility. Given the town's position on the estuary, we pay particular attention to drainage and fall on sloped driveways here so water is directed away from the property rather than toward it.
