Gravel Driveways Built on a Proper Sub-Base
A gravel driveway is the most affordable way to surface a large area, and on rural and semi-rural plots around Lanarkshire it looks entirely at home. The difference between a gravel drive that stays put and one that turns to ruts is everything underneath it.
We excavate to depth, lay a heavy-duty geotextile membrane, compact a type 1 base and only then apply the decorative chip — with optional gravel grids on slopes and turning areas to stop migration.
Why choose TK Driveways for gravel driveways
Lowest cost per square metre
Ideal for long farm tracks, wide frontages and overflow parking where a bound surface would be uneconomic.
Naturally permeable
Water drains straight through, so no planning issues and no standing water in heavy Scottish rain.
Security and character
The sound of gravel underfoot is a genuine deterrent, and decorative chip suits period and countryside properties.
How we install gravel driveways
Dig, membrane and base
Excavation to 150–250mm, separation membrane over the subgrade and a compacted type 1 layer to carry vehicle loads.
Edging that holds the line
Timber, concrete kerb or block edging keeps chip off your lawn and driveway borders.
Grids where needed
On slopes, entrances and turning circles we install honeycomb gravel grids so the surface stays level and rut-free.
