Yes. We cover the whole of Newcastle upon Tyne, including Walker, Benwell, Kenton, Westerhope, Ouseburn and Sandyford, plus nearby Gateshead, South Shields, Sunderland and Durham.

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.
