20 Top Best Gravel Driveway Ideas 2022 for Your Home

If your looking for the best gravel driveway ideas that have timeless appeal –  you’re in the right place!

Whether it’s the stately manor house or more modest abodes gravel with its simplicity yet ageless appel is a fantastic driveway paving surface.

With this in mind there are four main factors to take into consideration:

• The size of your driveway
• Depth of gravel
• Sub base requirements
• Size of gravel to be used

It’s a common misconception that gravel is only for stately homes – as you’ll see with the delightful examples below – gravel can work with a number of different styles of property.

The landscaped driveways with lights and fountains are our favourites.
