How quickly can you start in Folkestone?

We aim to reply to Folkestone enquiries the same day, and the majority of bookings can be booked in within one to two weeks. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.

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.
