Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Cheltenham

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Cheltenham

Cheltenham customers looking for gravel & shingle driveways turn to Severn Vale Driveways. Gravel and shingle driveways suit period cottages, rural properties and larger drives where a natural, informal look is wanted without the cost of a fully bound surface. Done properly, it's a genuinely permeable, low-maintenance option — the key word being 'properly', because a gravel drive laid straight onto bare soil without edge restraints or a stable sub-base will rut, spread onto the lawn, and need topping up before long. We install proper edging, a compacted permeable sub-base and, where useful, a geotextile membrane to stop the stone working its way into the ground beneath, so the gravel stays where it's put. We can source a range of gravel and shingle types to suit the property, from traditional golden gravel to darker slate chippings. Cheltenham's Regency squares and terraces around Montpellier and Pittville sit within some of the town's strictest conservation areas, where a driveway resurfacing can need extra care over colour and material to stay in keeping with the wider street. Further out toward the newer estates on the Springbank and Up Hatherley side, properties have more freedom and larger plots to work with. Resin-bound surfacing in a stone-matched tone is a popular choice on the period side of town, while block paving and tarmac both work well on the newer estates.
