A well-built gravel driveway adds instant kerb appeal and practical parking without the puddles. We install gravel driveways across Bexleyheath, Crayford and nearby streets, with designs that suit everything from modest front gardens to wider plots. If you’re close to Hall Place or heading in and out via Bexley High Street, we’ll plan access and deliveries to keep disruption low. Expect a tidy site, crisp edging lines and a finish that stays in place.
The Bexley area has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and modern homes, and each needs a slightly different approach. For narrower terraces, we prioritise strong edging and compacted sub-bases to prevent gravel migration. On 1930s semis with sloped drives, we often recommend gravel grids for stability and easier turning. For newer builds, decorative aggregates and clean borders can match contemporary brickwork and fencing.
Our process starts with a clear site survey, levels check and a recommendation on base depth, membrane and edging. We lay a quality geotextile membrane, install robust edging, then add the right gravel grade for your use and style. You’ll get straightforward guidance on maintenance and topping up, plus workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for punctual scheduling, careful workmanship and a finish that performs through wet weather.
Across DA5 and surrounding roads, we often see mixed ground and older front gardens that need careful excavation and levelling. We plan deliveries and waste removal around on-street parking and school-run traffic, and we keep access safe throughout. Where runoff is a concern, we recommend permeable build-ups and the right gravel size to maintain drainage. Our team is based around 40 minutes away, so aftercare and top-up visits are easy to arrange.

In the Bexley area, gravel driveway installation typically ranges from £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, base build-up, edging choice and whether you add gravel grids. For many UK front gardens, a typical total spend falls around £1,200–£3,000. Larger driveways, difficult access, or premium decorative aggregates can increase costs, while straightforward replacements may sit nearer the lower end.
Most gravel driveway projects take 1–2 days on site, assuming normal access and no major ground issues. Time depends on how much excavation is needed, whether old surfacing must be removed, and the amount of edging and grid installation. Weather can also affect progress, particularly if the ground is saturated. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a survey and keep you updated throughout the job.
Gravel driveways are often permitted development, especially when the surface is permeable and water drains to a suitable area rather than the highway. However, rules can vary with frontage size, drainage arrangements, and whether your property is listed or in a restricted area. We’ll talk through drainage and levels during the survey and flag anything that may need checking with the London Borough of Bexley before work starts.
Yes. Our gravel driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure due to installation defects, edging movement, and problems caused by incorrect build-up. Normal wear, extreme weather events, and damage from heavy vehicles beyond the agreed use aren’t included. We also provide maintenance advice so your driveway stays level, tidy and free-draining for the long term.
We can supply and install a range of decorative gravel options, including golden gravel, Cotswold-style chippings, grey granite and flint blends, chosen to suit your brickwork and garden style. Design options include gravel grids for stability, contrasting edging (kerb stones, sleepers or metal edging), and defined paths or parking bays. We’ll recommend the right stone size and depth for your traffic level, turning needs and drainage.
