Gravel driveway installation in Chester

If you are living or working in Chester will know the place well: Chester is historic walled city on the River Dee near the Welsh border, known for its Roman remains, medieval Rows, tourism and financial services employers. We cover all of it, including Boughton to Handbridge.

If you need gravel driveway installation in Chester, we can help. We work with homeowners, landlords and small developers across Cheshire, and every job is given a fixed price first so there are no surprises.

In Chester we work on Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses and suburban semis. Each one brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

Across Cheshire, gravel is often chosen for rural and semi-rural driveways where long runs make other surfaces expensive.

Plenty of Chester 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.

How deep should a gravel driveway be?

A typical domestic gravel driveway has around 100mm to 150mm of compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, more on soft ground, then a weed membrane and around 40mm to 50mm of gravel on top. Laying gravel much deeper than this makes it harder to walk and drive on.
