Golden Gravels

Yes, Cotswold gravel is widely used for driveways. We recommend the 20mm Cotswold chippings as they are hard-wearing and their angular nature helps them interlock, creating a stable, permeable surface.

As a natural, quarried product, the gravel may contain some fine dust particles (fines) upon delivery, which is normal. We recommend washing the stones before laying them to reveal their true bright, clean colours,

For driveways, we recommend laying at a depth of 40-50mm (approx 2 inches) of gravel on top of a suitable, compacted sub-base (like MOT Type 1). For paths/decorative areas, a depth of 30-40mm is generally sufficient.

When laid at the correct depth over a weed membrane or using Gravel Grids, Golden Gravel chippings are highly effective at suppressing weed growth. The membrane is essential to prevent weeds from growing up from the soil below.
