About our York service

York is a historic walled cathedral city with Roman, Viking and medieval heritage, a large tourism and university economy, and a rail hub on the East Coast Main Line. That is where we come in: we carry out gravel driveway installation on behalf of homeowners, landlords and small developers across York, including Holgate, Tang Hall and Osbaldwick.

We handle gravel driveway installation for homeowners, landlords and small developers in York every week. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and finished on time.

In York we work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern flats. Each one brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

Before work starts in York, levels are checked so the finished gravel stays well below the damp-proof course and water falls away from the house.

Gravel is a popular choice for driveways around York, especially on period homes and larger plots where it suits the look of the property.

Do I need a dropped kerb?

If you will drive across a pavement or verge to reach the driveway, you need a dropped kerb, also called a vehicle crossover, and you must apply to your local highway authority for it. It is a separate application from any planning permission and the council usually sets the price or approves the contractor.
