Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Stonehouse

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Stonehouse

Stonehouse 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. Stonehouse grew up around the Stroudwater Canal, and the town's mix of former mill-worker housing near the canal and newer estates further out gives a real range of driveway styles and ground conditions. Properties closer to the canal and low-lying land nearby benefit from careful drainage design, while the newer estate housing offers more straightforward, flatter ground. Block paving and tarmac are both popular, practical choices across the town.
