Gravel driveway installation in Chatham

Chatham is a Medway town shaped by its former Royal Navy dockyard, now a heritage attraction, with a university campus, retail centre and large residential suburbs. We offer gravel driveway installation right across Chatham, from Lordswood and Luton through to Princes Park.

Gravel driveway installation in Chatham should be simple. Give us a few details about what you need, and we will come back with a fixed price and the earliest date we can do it.

Around Chatham you will mostly find Victorian terraces, post-war estates and waterfront new-build flats, so we price every job around the building, access and when you need it done.

Plenty of Chatham driveways sit on ground that ranges from free-draining to heavy clay, so the sub-base depth is set after the ground is dug rather than guessed.

Homeowners in Chatham often ask for a block-paved apron at the pavement edge with gravel behind, which keeps stones off the footway.

Postcode districts we regularly work in include ME4 and ME5, along with the surrounding areas.

How do you stop weeds coming through gravel?

A proper base and a good-quality geotextile membrane under the gravel stop most weeds growing up from the soil. Over time a few seeds blow in and germinate in the gravel itself, but they are shallow-rooted and easy to pull out or treat. Keeping leaves and debris raked off helps.
