Gravel driveway installation in St Albans

St Albans is a historic Hertfordshire cathedral city on the site of Roman Verulamium, popular with London commuters and known for its markets, pubs and high property values. We offer gravel driveway installation throughout St Albans, including How Wood and Park Street to Bricket Wood.

We offer gravel driveway installation throughout St Albans and the wider Hertfordshire area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, we give you one clear price before anything is booked in.

The property mix in St Albans is mainly Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and large detached period homes, so we price every job around the building, access and timing.

Plenty of St Albans driveways sit on ground that ranges from free-draining to heavy clay, so the sub-base depth is set after the ground is dug rather than guessed.

Homeowners in St Albans often ask for a block-paved apron at the pavement edge with gravel behind, which keeps stones off the footway.

Yes, we do. Our service covers all of St Albans, including How Wood, Park Street, Bricket Wood, Chiswell Green, Marshalswick and Fleetville, as well as Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City and Barnet.

Are gravel grids worth it?

Usually, yes, on sloped drives, busy drives and anywhere you want to stop gravel spreading onto the pavement or into the house. Grids hold the stones in cells so they cannot rut or migrate, and they make the surface firmer for walking, wheelchairs and buggies. They add to the cost, typically around £20 to £50 per square metre.
