Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Ainsdale

Gravel & Shingle Driveways in Ainsdale

Gravel and shingle driveways in Ainsdale feel at home among the pines and dunes, and larger plots here can carry one comfortably. The look is relaxed, the stone can be chosen to echo the sandy surroundings, and the surface is permeable, which suits the free-draining ground. The danger is that loose stone sinks into sand or scatters onto the lawn and pavement, which is why edging, a membrane and a firm sub-base matter so much. On a smaller semi that is used daily, a bound surface like block or resin may behave better, and we will tell you if that is the case.

Planning gravel & shingle driveways in Ainsdale

Wind and heavy rain can shift loose stone near the coast, and sand tends to swallow gravel that has no membrane underneath. We install edge restraints, a compacted base and a geotextile layer so the stone stays on top. Think about bins, pushchairs and wheelchairs crossing the surface, as loose stone is harder going than a bound drive. Pale stones show leaf litter and sand more.
