About our Southampton service

Southampton is a major port city on the south coast, home to the cruise terminals, two universities and a large student population alongside established suburbs. We offer gravel driveway installation in every part of Southampton, including Woolston and Sholing through to Highfield.

Gravel driveway installation in Southampton should be simple. Send us a few details about what you need, and you will get a fixed price and our next available dates.

The property mix in Southampton is mainly Victorian terraces, student HMOs, inter-war semis and waterfront flats, so each quote takes into account the property, access and timing.

For Southampton properties with a dropped kerb already in place, a gravel drive can usually be planned around the existing crossover.

Larger plots and long private drives are common across Hampshire, and gravel keeps the cost per metre down on long runs.

How fast can you get to Southampton?

We aim to reply to Southampton enquiries the same day, and the majority of bookings can be scheduled within a week or two. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.

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.

Before you book: a quick Southampton checklist

  • Agree the edging material and where the drive meets the pavement
  • Make sure waste removal is included and ask how it will be disposed of
  • Check access for machinery, skips and grab lorries, and where materials will be delivered
  • Get a written fixed quote and agree payment terms before work starts
  • Measure the drive roughly and note what is there now, such as lawn, concrete, tarmac or old gravel
