At Landscaping.ie we have extensive experience in designing and installing gravel driveways. The materials and colours available are many, we have the suppliers and experience to choose the right driveway for you. Dust rather than quarry screenings makes up our sub-bases insuring no hardcore mixing with our decorative top surface, the dust also allows superior bedding in creating a more stable surface under foot. The top surface never exceeds 50mm again creating a stable surface for car wheels and pedestrian traffic. The edging to beds and aprons are created using natural stone cobbles allowing for feature curves, elegant borders, colour blends and patterns. Consideration needs to be given to wheelie bins as they are hard to move over gravel. A wheelie bin screen or path leading to storage area being the answer.

A natural stone driveway can deliver a sense of elegance to your property even before a guest steps inside making a big first impression.

Quartzite: Apart from its uniqueness and natural beauty a major selling point for quartzite is its hardness, low water absorption and durability. It has excellent anti-slip properties and is impervious to stains.
