Decorative Gravel & Chippings in Surrey
Cost-effective and attractive gravel solutions for driveways, paths, and gardens.
About Our Decorative Gravel & Chippings Service
Decorative gravel offers a cost-effective, attractive surfacing solution with excellent drainage properties. The satisfying crunch underfoot also provides a security benefit, alerting you to visitors or intruders.
We install gravel properly, with appropriate membrane to prevent weed growth, edging to contain the surface, and the correct depth for the intended use. Gravel comes in many colours and sizes, from golden shingle to slate chippings, allowing you to complement your property's style.
While gravel is lower cost than block paving, proper installation is still essential for good results. We ensure your gravel surface is stable, well-drained, and neatly contained.

Decorative Gravel & Chippings FAQs
Common questions answered by our experts.
How deep should driveway gravel be?
We typically install 50-75mm depth for driveways, allowing for some initial settling while maintaining a stable surface.
Will gravel spread everywhere?
Not with proper edging. We install secure restraints that keep gravel where it belongs.
Is gravel suitable for regular parking?
Yes, though you may need occasional raking where tyres displace stones. Consider our gravel grid system for extra stability.
