Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Filton

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Filton

Filton 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. Filton's history as an aerospace manufacturing area shaped much of its interwar and post-war housing, giving the town a good stock of semi-detached properties with fairly consistent, flat ground conditions. This makes it a straightforward town for driveway resurfacing — block paving remains the most popular choice locally, and we regularly replace original driveways that have reached the end of their life on Filton's older housing stock.
