Your garden, considered
Gravel done properly
Gravel is one of the most affordable and permeable driveway surfaces. Without stabilisation it can rut and spread; with grids it stays level and easy to walk on.
We build a compacted base, lay a membrane and grids, fill with gravel and finish with edging.
For long Purley drives, gravel offers an attractive, affordable finish.

Gravel Driveways in Purley: your questions
Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsDo I need a dropped kerb for my driveway in Purley?
Yes, if you drive over the pavement. The council approves and usually builds or licenses the crossover. We can plan the driveway around it.
Will gravel get kicked onto the pavement?
Edging and grids keep it contained.
Is gravel good for a slope in Purley?
On gentle slopes with grids, yes; steep drives suit other surfaces.
Do weeds grow through gravel?
A membrane reduces weeds; occasional maintenance is needed.
Do you cover all of Purley?
Yes. We work across Purley (CR8), including Kenley, Riddlesdown and Webb Estate, and nearby areas such as Sanderstead and Coulsdon. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 5 miles from Purley.
