Gravel Driveways

Transform your property's entrance with a stunning gravel driveway from Hillcrest Landscapes. Based in Castleford and serving a 15-mile radius, our family business brings over 20 years of experience to every gravel driveway installation.

Why Choose Gravel Driveways?

Gravel driveways offer the perfect combination of practicality, affordability, and natural beauty. Unlike rigid paving solutions, gravel provides excellent drainage whilst creating an attractive entrance that complements any property style. From traditional country homes to modern developments, gravel driveways enhance kerb appeal whilst remaining cost-effective.

Our gravel driveways are designed to withstand the British weather, providing a durable surface that requires minimal maintenance. The natural texture of gravel offers excellent grip for vehicles and pedestrians, making it a safe choice for your family throughout the year.

Professional Installation Process

At Hillcrest Landscapes, we understand that proper preparation is essential for a long-lasting gravel driveway. Our experienced team begins with thorough ground preparation, ensuring proper drainage and a stable foundation. We excavate to the required depth, install appropriate sub-base materials, and apply geotextile membrane where necessary to prevent weed growth and maintain structural integrity.

The gravel is then carefully laid and compacted using professional equipment, creating a smooth, even surface that will serve you for years to come. Our attention to detail ensures your new driveway not only looks exceptional but performs reliably in all weather conditions.

Gravel Options and Customisation

We offer an extensive range of gravel types, colours, and sizes to suit your property's character and your personal preferences. From classic golden gravel that catches the sunlight beautifully to sophisticated grey aggregates that complement contemporary architecture, we help you select the perfect material for your vision.

Popular options include:

• Golden Gravel: Warm, traditional appearance ideal for period properties
• Silver Grey: Modern, sophisticated look perfect for contemporary homes
• Red Gravel: Bold, distinctive choice for statement driveways
• Cotswold Buff: Natural limestone with excellent durability
• Slate Chippings: Premium option with superior weather resistance

Maintenance and Longevity

One of the greatest advantages of choosing a gravel driveway is the ease of maintenance. Regular light raking keeps the surface looking pristine, whilst occasional top-ups ensure continued performance. Unlike block paving or tarmac, minor repairs to gravel driveways are straightforward and cost-effective.

Our professional installation includes guidance on proper maintenance techniques, ensuring your investment continues to add value to your property for decades to come.
