New Gravel Driveway Installation in Hellesdon

We were asked by a customer in Hellesdon to extend their existing driveway to create additional parking space and improve the overall appearance of their property.

The existing garden area sat higher than the surrounding concrete driveway and pathway, which required excavation and proper ground preparation to ensure a level, long-lasting finish.

We carried out a full excavation and installed a strong, well-compacted sub-base to support a new 20mm gravel surface, ensuring durability and effective drainage.

What we did

  • Conducted a full site survey to identify any underground utilities such as electric cables and water pipes
  • Removed existing grass and soil from the area
  • Excavated approximately 200-250mm to bring the ground level in line with the existing driveway
  • Installed a 150mm hardcore base over a stabilising membrane
  • Compacted the base in layers to ensure a solid foundation
  • Finished with high-quality 20mm gravel

The customer now benefits from a larger, level driveway with improved parking space and a clean, attractive finish that complements the existing property.

These services are ideal for homeowners looking to enhance their property with professional driveway installation and expert landscaping services, delivering durable, low-maintenance finishes with outstanding kerb appeal.
