Local gravel driveway installation in Derry

Derry is northern Ireland's second city on the River Foyle near the Donegal border, known for its complete 17th-century walls, shirt-making heritage and a young population. We carry out gravel driveway installation right across Derry, including Galliagh and Drumahoe through to Prehen.

Gravel driveway installation in Derry does not need to be complicated. 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.

Our Derry jobs cover Victorian terraces, post-war estates, semis and modern detached homes. Every property is a little different, so every quote is based on your details.

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.
