Gravel Driveways Kent

Gravel Driveways That Combine Style and Practicality

Gravel driveways have long been a popular choice for UK homeowners – and it’s no surprise why. They offer a charming, traditional look, excellent drainage, and are one of the most cost-effective driveway solutions available. At LED Construction, we supply and install high-quality gravel driveways across Sittingbourne and Kent, tailored to suit your property, lifestyle, and budget.

Whether you live in a countryside cottage or a modern suburban home, gravel can add a timeless, rustic feel to your property. Available in a variety of colours, sizes, and stone types, gravel offers a lot more design flexibility than you might think. From warm golden tones to cool greys or mixed blends, we’ll help you choose the perfect look to match your surroundings.

Aside from its natural beauty, gravel is highly practical. It’s quick to install, ideal for larger driveways or access roads, and allows water to drain through easily – helping you stay compliant with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations without the need for planning permission.

One added bonus? Gravel driveways are naturally deterrent to intruders – the sound of crunching gravel underfoot acts as an early warning, adding a subtle layer of home security.

At LED Construction, we handle every step of the process, from clearing and preparing the ground to laying weed-resistant membranes and installing suitable gravel depths for long-term performance. The end result is a clean, attractive, and low-maintenance driveway that blends seamlessly with your property.

How We Install Gravel Driveways

A Straightforward Process with Expert Execution

Installing a gravel driveway may be simpler than some alternatives, but that doesn’t mean cutting corners. At LED Construction, we follow a precise, professional process to make sure your gravel surface is both beautiful and built to last.

We begin with a free site visit and consultation to assess the area, understand your needs, and recommend the most suitable gravel type. We’ll also discuss edging options, borders, and any additional drainage that may be required, especially for sloped or high-traffic areas.

The next step is ground preparation. We start by removing any old surfaces or debris, then excavate to the necessary depth. A strong sub-base is laid and compacted to provide a solid foundation. This step is crucial – without a good base, gravel can shift, sink, or create uneven patches over time.

To minimise weed growth and ensure stability, we install a heavy-duty, breathable membrane across the area. This prevents plants from growing up through the gravel while still allowing water to pass through freely.

Then comes the gravel itself. We supply high-quality decorative aggregates in a variety of grades and colours to suit your style. The gravel is laid to a consistent depth (usually 40–50mm for driveways), raked, and levelled for a smooth, even surface.

Finally, we tidy the site, install any finishing touches like timber or stone edging, and leave you with a low-maintenance driveway that’s ready for everyday use. We’ll also give you advice on how to keep it looking its best throughout the year.

Whether you’re looking for a simple, natural look or want to add decorative features and curves, our team can bring your gravel driveway vision to life with care, attention, and expert craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's About Gravel Driveways

Is gravel a good long-term driveway solution?
Yes – when installed properly with a strong sub-base and membrane, gravel driveways can last many years. Occasional raking and top-ups keep it looking fresh.
What type of gravel is best for a driveway?
We typically recommend angular gravel, as it locks together better under pressure and reduces movement. We’ll help you choose the right size and colour for your project.
. Do gravel driveways need planning permission?
No, not usually. Gravel is naturally permeable, so it complies with drainage regulations and rarely requires planning approval.
. Will weeds grow through the gravel?
We install a weed-resistant membrane beneath the gravel to prevent growth from underneath. Occasional surface weeds may appear but can be easily managed.
Is gravel suitable for sloped driveways?
Yes – but it requires proper edging and a well-compacted base to prevent movement. We’ll assess your site and recommend the best solution for your slope.
