Natural loose stone and gravel driveways deliver timeless charm and practicality, with durable gravel finishes that enhance any property entrance.

Natural Loose Stone and Gravel Driveways: Organic Beauty, Practical Performance

At HomePro Landscaping Services, we create natural loose stone and gravel driveways that combine rustic charm with practical durability.

Using carefully selected aggregates, we can achieve finishes ranging from soft, rounded pebbles to fine-grained and coarse mineral stones, each offering its own texture, colour, and character.

A Range of Stone Types and Minerals

We source a variety of natural aggregates to suit your preferred style and performance needs, including:

  • Rounded Pebbles – Smooth and decorative, perfect for a softer, organic look
  • Fine-Grained Stone – Compact and comfortable underfoot while still free-draining
  • Coarse Angular Stone – Provides excellent grip and stability for vehicles
  • Decorative Minerals – Quartz, granite, slate chippings, and more for visual impact

Each blend is chosen for its beauty, durability, and suitability for driveway use.

Sub-Base and Installation for Stability

Loose stone driveways rely on a solid base for performance and longevity. We ensure:

  • MOT Type 1 or stabilising grid systems to hold stone in place
  • Proper compaction for a firm foundation
  • Edging installation to prevent stone migration
  • Drainage planning to keep surfaces dry and usable

This ensures your driveway remains level, stable, and easy to maintain.

Practical Considerations and Vehicle Use

Different stone types handle different levels of traffic:

  • Light to Medium Use – Rounded pebbles or fine aggregates for general car use
  • Heavy Use – Coarse, angular stone blends capable of supporting caravans, trailers, and twin-wheel vehicles

We’ll advise you on the best option based on your needs and driveway usage.
