WITH GRAVEL FINISH

The client wanted a driveway with a traditional gravel finish but was worried about drainage, cars sinking and the old problem of the gravel moving everywhere.

We sourced a product called "Nedoplast" which is a permeable paving solution. The product will withstand occasional large Lorries such as removal lorries, horse boxes, skip lorries and oil deliveries

 It takes upto 16mm diameter of stone / gravel and allows water to simply run through the gravel and membrane so it is completely porous.

A pratical solution; it can be edged in many ways:

1. Brick & Cement
2. Haunched concrete
3. Tanalised timber
4. Specialist edging
5. Tarmacadam (for ramping to existing surfaces)

It is cost effective as you can use the existing drive as a sub-base for the nidaplast, however this can cause drainage problems with non-porous materials.

Another plus is that the semi-permeable membrane which is glued to the underside of the product will help stop weeds growing.
