Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Ross-on-Wye

Ross-on-Wye 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. Ross-on-Wye's mix of hilltop Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the Prospect and riverside properties running down toward the Wye means every driveway survey here starts with the slope. Ground that falls toward the river needs the right camber and drainage detail to stop water running back toward the house, and several streets sit within the town's conservation area, where a sympathetic surface — natural stone-effect resin-bound or a muted block paving — usually suits better than plain black tarmac. As our most established base of customers in the region, we know the town's mix of period cottages, riverside villas and newer estates on the Ledbury Road side well enough to recommend the right surface rather than a one-size-fits-all option.
