HOW WE INSTALL
GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS.
Site Survey
We visit your property, take measurements, and discuss your preferred stone type and colour. You will receive a clear, no-obligation quote.
Excavation & Membrane
We dig out the existing surface, lay a compacted sub-base for stability, and roll out a heavy-duty weed membrane to prevent growth from below.
Edging Installation
We install granite, steel, or timber edging to create clean borders that keep the gravel contained and give a professional finish.
Gravel Spreading & Levelling
Your chosen gravel is spread to an even depth across the full area, then levelled and compacted for a smooth, finished surface ready to use straight away.
"We had our front gravel driveway completely redone. From start to finish the lads were brilliant. Turned up on time, kept the site tidy, and the finished result looks fantastic."

GRAVEL DRIVEWAY FAQ.
Is gravel better than tarmac for a driveway?+
Gravel and tarmac each have their strengths. Gravel is the most affordable option, offers natural drainage, and suits rural or cottage-style properties. Tarmac provides a smoother surface for heavier traffic. We can advise on the best choice for your property during a free site visit.
What is the best type of gravel for a driveway?+
For driveways in Ireland, we recommend 20mm decorative stone or pea gravel. These sizes compact well underfoot and under tyres while still allowing excellent drainage. Popular choices include golden gravel, limestone chippings, and Connemara marble.
How do you maintain a gravel driveway?+
Gravel driveways are very low maintenance. An occasional rake to redistribute stones and a top-up every few years is all that is needed. Keeping edges tidy and clearing leaves will keep your driveway looking its best.
How do you prevent weeds in a gravel driveway?+
We install a heavy-duty weed membrane beneath every gravel driveway. This blocks weed growth from below while still allowing water to drain through. Combined with proper edging, this keeps your driveway virtually weed-free for years.
How much does a gravel driveway cost in Ireland?+
Gravel is the most budget-friendly driveway option available. Costs vary depending on the area, depth of gravel, and type of stone chosen. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can see exactly what your project will cost before any work begins.
