Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Dursley

Dursley 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. Dursley sits right on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment, and like Stroud, a good number of the driveways we survey here are on a genuine slope rather than flat ground. Stone-built properties toward the older part of town benefit from surfaces and edging that hold their line on a gradient — block paving with solid edge restraints is usually our recommendation here over loose-laid alternatives. Newer estates on the flatter fringes of town have more surface options open to them.
