Gravel Driveway Specialists Dublin
Gravel or as commonly referred to as a stone or aggregate driveway, can make a wonderful entrance to your home. Along with a tar and chip driveway, it provides the best option for those on a lower budget for a driveway when compared to other options whilst still delivering a beautiful and serviceable driveway to any home.
Our team at Driveways Dublin specialises in installing gravel stone driveways using high-quality, locally sourced aggregates to ensure longevity and performance.
Gravel and decorative aggregate stone are often used on larger areas where the cost of Block Paving In County Dublin or Tarmac Driveways In County Dublin would be significantly more. On larger driveway areas, the price difference between gravel and other surfaces can be significant.
Once the base is prepared, we will put in any edging, patterns, borders or aprons at this stage. This will be benched in concrete as its main primary function is to help contain the gravel to stop it spreading out.
We would then put down a heavy membrane sheeting which will allow water to drain through and keep the base separate from the gravel finish. A more durable form for a chip finish is available, learn more about Resin Bound In County Dublin and how it differs from gravel.
In the final stage, we would put down the gravel driveway, raking it out to make sure it’s spread and levelled evenly across the driveway. Normally, 1 to 2 inches is adequate, but it can vary depending on the size of the gravel you have chosen. We would recommend 16mm gravel for a driveway as it’s easy for cars to move through it without becoming difficult to walk on by foot.
