If you need shingle driveway installers in Surrey or West Sussex, Gardenscapes can help.
Installing a shingle driveway will help improve the entrance to your property.
Shingle or gravel has a traditional appearance reminiscent of stately homes and country manors.
The good news for property owners is that gravel is a cost-effective driveway material. That’s if the driveway preparation is correct to cut down on the weeds and gravel migration.
A gravel driveway is appealing, thanks to its natural appearance. It’s also porous and environmentally friendly because it consists of recycled materials and aggregates.
With various gravel sizes and colour options, you can get the look you want without the expense.
Our in-house garden design consultant can help you create the perfect driveway shape and choose the ideal gravel.
We can also provide soft landscaping options to ensure your driveway sits seamlessly next to flowerbeds or the front lawn.
The construction team will prepare the ground to keep weeds at bay and minimise the migration of stones in the future.
Gardenscapes provide shingle/gravel driveway installation services throughout Surrey (Cobham, Dorking, Esher, Guildford, Horley, Oxshott and Reigate) and West Sussex (Billingshurst, Crawley and Pulborough).
A permeable driveway uses materials (block paving or shingle/gravel) that allow rainfall to pass naturally from the surface into the ground, thus allowing the water to drain into the earth. It is a porous material.
Shingle and gravel are the same things in the UK. They are small stones usually made from a mixture of materials such as crushed stone.
Shingle/gravel is inexpensive, environmentally friendly and permeable/porous. Installing shingle driveways takes less time than block paving or concrete.
Some of the most common gravel and shingle materials used for driveways include crushed stone (small rocks and coarse sand) and pea gravel (small smooth stones). Many different brands and companies make different sizes and colours (grey, cream and natural).
Creating a shingle driveway design is easy. Depending on the size of driveway you have, you can have any shape you want.
Yes, we can install a shingle driveway as a standalone project.

Shingle is an excellent option if you want a cost-effective yet beautiful driveway. You can’t go wrong with this material if you have a period property. Our clients love the sound of the gravel crunching underfoot when they walk across the driveway! It gives you that stately home and country manor look without the expense.
