What is a Gravel Driveway?
A gravel driveway is constructed using loose stone laid over a properly prepared sub-base. This creates a permeable surface that allows water to drain naturally while still providing a stable and functional area for vehicles.
Gravel driveways are commonly used for residential properties, rural settings, and larger spaces where flexibility and drainage are important.
