Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Monmouth

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Monmouth

Monmouth 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. Monmouth sits where the Wye and Monnow rivers meet, and its Georgian townhouses near Agincourt Square sit close to the water table in places, so drainage detail is something we check carefully on every survey here. The historic centre, including the famous fortified bridge, sits within a conservation area, and newer estates toward Wonastow Road give more flexibility on surface choice. Block paving and resin-bound surfacing both work well across the town, depending on whether the property is period or modern.
