What is gravelling?
Gravelling is the process of laying loose stone or aggregate to cover driveways, paths, or garden spaces. It provides a stable, permeable surface that looks smart while also being cost-effective. Gravel comes in a wide range of colours and sizes, making it easy to find a style that suits your property.

Gravelling costs and considerations
The cost of gravelling depends on the size of the area, the type of gravel chosen, and whether ground preparation or edging is required.
