Gravel Driveways in Solihull
Gravel is a timeless driveway surface that works especially well for rural, period and larger properties. With the right edging and preparation, it can be smart, practical and cost-effective.
Cornerstone designs and installs gravel driveways with a properly prepared base, strong edge restraints and optional stabilisation grids to reduce movement and rutting. We help choose the right stone colour and finish for the property.

Questions
Common questions.
Can gravel be used on a driveway with cars?
Yes, provided it has a proper sub-base and edge restraints. Stabilisation grids can help keep the gravel in place.
Which gravel colour is best?
That depends on the property. Cotswold, golden, grey and mixed decorative aggregates all create different looks.
Does gravel need maintenance?
Some raking and topping-up may be needed over time, but a well-built gravel driveway is straightforward to maintain.
