Typical properties here include Victorian stone villas, terraces, bungalows and modern estate housing, so each quote takes into account the property, parking and access and when you need it done.

Can you come out to Dalneigh and other parts of Inverness?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of Inverness, including Dalneigh, Merkinch, Holm, Lochardil, Raigmore and Balloch, as well as Perth, Aberdeen, Dundee and Stirling.

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.
