Stone Gravel for driveways

Gravel, or stone chippings driveways have many benefits over traditional driveways laid in stone, tarmac, block paving or any other driveway paving material. The most important part of a gravel driveway is in the fact that more often than not, you will not have to provide additional drainage for the gravel as the surface water simply drains through the stone chipping's into the substrate. There are many different colours and sizes of stone gravel chipping's ranging from golden gravel, to pinks, greys, slate blue and greens and even plum coloured chipping's.

Gravel stone is also nice for the borders of a garden if you want to cut down on gardening. You can achieve many beautiful features with stone gravel from simple pots in a garden, to creating an easy maintainable garden area with the use of an Alpine gravel stone garden to keep all weeds and greenery from growing. If you are using gravel over garden soil it is always recommended that you first apply a weed protection fabric over the soil before you put the stone down. If you are applying gravel to a driveway or patio it is essential that you use a weed stopping fabric under the stone as this will stop the vehicle from rutting the gravel which will eventually lead to the area becoming unstable and muddy.
