Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Winchcombe

Winchcombe 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. Winchcombe is a historic Cotswolds abbey town within the Cotswolds National Landscape, and much of its centre sits within a conservation area where honey-stone frontages call for sympathetic surfacing choices. Resin-bound paving in a stone-matched aggregate or muted block paving tends to suit Winchcombe's period cottages far better than plain tarmac. Properties on the town's outer edges have somewhat more flexibility on surface choice.
