Retaining Walls & Boulder Placement

Boulder retaining walls are a phenomenal building material with no weathering or erosion. The greatest character is that they are comprised of natural stone, as opposed to modular concrete block walls.

Which driveway surface is the best?

Boulder walls differ in size, shape and aesthetic, depending on factors like size, weight, angularity and placement of the individual boulder to be used in the retaining wall. These four factors are key to building a perfect boulder retaining wall.

Driveways Services FAQ

Which driveway surface is the best?

All driveway surfaces have pros and cons. Some, such as concrete, can be more problematic than others because it can become uneven, allowing puddles to form, and can also crack. Resin-bonded and resin-bound driveways have become popular but also have their drawbacks, with the traditional gravel driveway continuing to be top choice for most in terms of cost, appearance, maintenance and longevity.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

Permeable driveway surfaces such as gravel do not contribute to flood water. However, although a new gravel driveway is unlikely to require planning permission, it’s prudent to check with your local authority.

How much does a new driveway cost?

The cost of a driveway depends on three key factors:

How much excavation/preparation is required
The size of the driveway
The surface finish

While low-cost options such as concrete might be initially appealing for a quick-fix, they have an industrial-looking finish and can be prone to cracking.

What are the downsides to a gravel driveway?

There are clear advantages to a gravel driveway over other surfaces. When weighing the pros and cons of a gravel driveway, some may question if the stones will move out of place and into flower beds and borders, leaving bare patches. Installing Gravelrings beneath a gravel driveway surface addresses this issue, as its grid structure helps keep gravel in place, reducing the amount of driveway maintenance required.

Are gravel driveways easy to install?

To achieve the best finish, it’s always sensible to use a specialist contractor when installing a new driveway. While it’s straightforward to install a gravel driveway grid system, experienced driveway installers will ensure that there’s careful and thorough preparation of the ground and that the final driveway is SuDS-compliant.
