Leicester gravel driveway installation: common questions

What does gravel driveway installation cost in Leicester?

Do you work in Knighton and other parts of Leicester?

Yes, we do. Our service covers all of Leicester, including Knighton, Westcotes, Braunstone, Beaumont Leys, Humberstone and Oadby, as well as Loughborough, Hinckley, Nuneaton and Rugby.

What is the best gravel for a driveway?

Angular gravel in the 10mm to 20mm range is usually best for driveways because the stones lock together and do not roll underfoot or under tyres. 14mm and 20mm are popular choices. Rounded pea shingle looks attractive but moves around much more, so it is better suited to paths and borders unless it is laid in grids.
