Homes around BR2 include large detached houses, period cottages and many 1930s properties with generous drive widths. We design gravel driveways that sit comfortably with traditional facades and longer set-backs, while keeping turning circles and everyday access in mind. If your frontage slopes or you’re close to Hayes station with tighter access, we’ll plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. The result is a driveway that looks intentional, not temporary.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage routes and the best build-up for longevity. We install a membrane to suppress weeds, add a compacted sub-base, and finish with the right gravel size for stability. Where needed, we fit gravel grids to reduce rutting and migration, plus robust edging to keep lines crisp. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.

We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after assessing levels, drainage and waste removal needs.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, especially when it is free-draining and water can soak away within your property. However, rules can change depending on drainage arrangements, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering access/kerbs. We’ll talk through your layout and surface water plan and flag anything that may need approval. If required, we can advise on compliant permeable build-ups.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gravel driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as failed edging, poor levels, or inadequate sub-base performance. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations are not included. Gravel is a loose surface, so minor top-ups over time are expected; we’ll explain simple maintenance steps to keep it looking fresh and performing well.
We supply a range of options including decorative gravel in different colours, angular aggregates for better lock-in, and gravel grids for a firmer, cleaner finish. Design choices include contrasting edging (stone, brick or metal), defined parking bays, and pathways that tie into the front garden. We’ll recommend gravel size and colour to suit your property style and practical needs, then confirm samples and a specification before work begins.
