Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Nailsworth

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Nailsworth

Nailsworth 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. Nailsworth sits in one of the steep Stroud valleys, known locally as the Five Valleys, and like its neighbour Stroud, a lot of the driveways here are genuinely sloped rather than flat. Stone-built terraced properties climbing the valley sides need surfaces and edge restraints that hold their line on a gradient, and much of the town sits within or close to the Cotswolds National Landscape, where material choice is worth getting right. Block paving with solid edging is generally our recommendation for Nailsworth's hillside streets.
