Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Lydney

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Lydney

Lydney 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. Lydney sits on the lower, flatter ground of the Severn estuary on the edge of the Forest of Dean, and surface water drainage is a genuine consideration for a number of properties here given the low-lying terrain. Permeable surfacing — resin-bound paving or properly bedded, edge-restrained gravel — helps manage that rather than adding to run-off. The town's mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and newer estates further out both benefit from getting the drainage design right before the surface goes down.
