Stable, low-maintenance gravel driveways that stay put and drain freely.
5.0 / 5 · 21 Google reviewsFree, no-obligation quotesFully insured
A gravel driveway is one of the most cost-effective and naturally attractive ways to transform your frontage — but only when it is built properly. The difference between a gravel driveway in Leeds that scatters into the road and one that stays crisp for years is all in the preparation. We excavate to the right depth, lay a compacted sub-base and, on almost every job, install a stabilising grid or membrane so the stone stays where it belongs rather than migrating into ruts. With twenty years behind us, we set clean edges to contain the gravel, get the levels right for free drainage, and choose the grade and colour of aggregate that suits your home. The finish is smooth to walk and drive on, self-draining and low maintenance. Fully insured, Leeds-based and tidy from start to finish, we leave you with a driveway that looks the part.

FAQs
Gravel Driveways — Your Questions
Will the gravel spread onto the road or lawn?
Not if it is installed correctly. We contain gravel with solid edging and, on driveways, use a stabilising grid so the stone locks in place and does not scatter or rut.
Do gravel driveways need permeable drainage approval?
Loose gravel is naturally permeable, so a properly built gravel driveway usually satisfies the drainage rules for front gardens without needing a soakaway or planning permission. We still design the levels so water drains through and away from the house.
How much maintenance does a gravel driveway need?
Very little. An occasional rake to level the surface and topping up the odd bucket of stone every few years is all that is usually required.
Can you install gravel over an existing driveway?
Sometimes, but we generally recommend excavating and preparing a fresh sub-base to guarantee stability and drainage. We will advise honestly after inspecting the existing surface.
What grade of gravel is best?
A 10 to 20mm angular gravel tends to knit together and stay put better than rounded pea shingle. We will recommend a grade and colour that suits both the look you want and everyday use.
