Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Ledbury

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Ledbury

Ledbury 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. Ledbury's timber-framed high street and market house sit within a conservation area, and the black-and-white heritage of the town centre means sympathetic surfacing matters on properties close in. Further out, Ledbury's rural fringe includes larger properties with longer driveways, where gravel or tarmac is often the more practical and cost-effective choice than a fully bound surface. Herefordshire's slow-draining clay soils make proper falls and drainage worth getting right regardless of which surface is chosen.
