We design and install gravel driveways that suit everything from narrow entrances to wider parking areas.

Keston’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often calls for a driveway that looks established rather than overly modern. Gravel complements traditional brickwork, timber gates and mature planting, while still offering a strong surface when installed correctly. Many properties around Hayes, Farnborough and Downe benefit from adding a turning area or extra bay without the heavy look of solid paving. We’ll help you choose colours and edging that match your home’s character.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, access and drainage, then we excavate and lay a proper sub-base, membrane and edging before installing the gravel. Where needed, we fit gravel grids to reduce rutting and keep stones in place. We work to clear lines and accurate falls, keeping disruption low and leaving the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, straightforward advice and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Bromley, driveways often need to cope with mixed ground conditions and run-off from sloping front gardens.

Parking and deliveries can be tight on some lanes, so we schedule materials and skips to reduce disruption. Our gravel driveways keston area builds are tailored to the property style and how you actually use the space.

For gravel driveways in Keston, budgets typically fall between £30–£60 per square metre depending on excavation depth, sub-base requirements and whether you choose gravel grids. Many homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front drive, with larger detached plots costing more. Edging type, access for machinery and disposal of spoil can also affect the final figure. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most gravel driveways are completed in 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and no major drainage alterations. Time can increase if we need deeper excavation, additional sub-base for heavier vehicles, or careful level changes near the house and pavement. Weather can also slow compaction and finishing. We’ll confirm the programme before starting and keep you updated if anything on site changes the schedule.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, especially when it’s permeable and allows water to drain naturally. However, rules can vary if you’re altering access onto the highway, working near protected trees, or if the property has special designations. For gravel driveways in London Borough of Bromley, we’ll advise on drainage compliance and flag anything that may need council approval before work begins.
