Gravel Driveways Dublin

Gravel is the quickest and lowest-cost way to give a home a new driveway. Rain soaks straight through the stone, so there are no puddles and no run-off onto the road.

The gravel sits on a dug-out, compacted base with a membrane underneath, held in by a border of granite or block paving. A paved apron at the entrance stops stones being carried onto the footpath.

Samples of gravel colours and sizes come to the site visit, and the same finish works for paths, borders and beds around the garden.

FAQs

Gravel Driveway Questions

Is Gravel a Good Choice for a Driveway?

Yes, if you want a low-cost, free-draining drive that is quick to lay. On a properly compacted base with a firm border, gravel carries cars well and keeps rainwater off the road.

Will Gravel End Up on the Road or Footpath?

Less of it will with a paved apron at the entrance. A strip of block paving or granite where the drive meets the path catches stones before they are carried out on tyres.

Do Weeds Grow Through Gravel?

A membrane laid over the base under the gravel keeps most weeds from coming up from below. The odd seed that lands on top is easy to pull out.

Can You Combine Gravel With Block Paving?

Yes. Block paving borders, aprons or a paved section by the house work well with gravel, giving a firm area at the door and the low cost of gravel across the rest.
