Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Yate

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Yate

Yate 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. Yate is largely made up of housing built from the mid-20th century onward, giving most of the driveways we survey here fairly flat, consistent ground conditions and few of the planning restrictions found in South Gloucestershire's older market towns. This makes it one of the more straightforward towns in our coverage area for a full driveway resurface — block paving and tarmac are both popular, practical choices here, particularly where an original block paving drive from the initial build is being replaced.
