Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Cirencester

Cirencester 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. Cirencester's honey-stone Cotswold architecture and its position within the Cotswolds National Landscape mean planning and material sensitivity come up on a lot of jobs here, particularly around the historic market square and Cecily Hill. Newer estates toward Chesterton and Stratton offer more straightforward ground conditions and surface flexibility. For period stone properties, resin-bound surfacing in a Cotswold-toned aggregate or a muted block paving generally reads better against the local stone than plain black tarmac.
