Gravel driveways commonplace in the UK and are the preferred driveway material option for a large number of homeowners. And it’s easy to see why gravel is such a hit. It’s unbelievably cheap, immensely easy to install, and needs very low maintenance. Gravel also looks delightfully brilliant in homes that are located in a country setting or in towns where stone and brick colours dominate the landscape. Moreover, gravel is also pretty wide-ranging when it comes to size, texture, and colour, which makes it perfect for resurfacing duties.
A less obvious advantage, unless you are the homeowner of course, is the notably satisfying crunch sound the gravel emits every time a car rides over it. This noise also acts as sort of defensive measure by alerting owners about uninvited guests or worse still, intruders. But owners of homes that are situated on a gradient cannot use gravel as it can be hard to keep in place.
To sum it up, a gravel driveway not only adds to the aesthetics of your house but also contributes to the practicality outside of it. That it’s a material offering a high degree of personalisation, weather resistance, low maintenance, durability, and low cost, is the icing on the cake.
