Gravel Driveways

Gravel driveways offer a classic, cost-effective, and highly practical solution for homes, estates, and rural properties. At Tree Kings Tree Care, we install professional gravel driveways across East Sussex, built for durability, drainage, and kerb appeal.

We handle all groundwork, from excavation and weed membrane installation to sub-base compaction and gravel layering. Choose from a variety of stone colours and grades to suit your property’s style — from traditional golden flint to modern grey slate.

Gravel driveways are ideal for sloped or awkward ground, and we also install borders, drainage channels, and reinforced grids for added stability if needed.

Key Benefits:

  • Fast, affordable alternative to tarmac or block

  • Excellent natural drainage

  • Variety of decorative gravel options

  • Ideal for large driveways and rural locations

  • Low-maintenance with long-lasting results

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What type of gravel do you use?A. We use high-quality angular gravel that locks together under pressure — available in various colours and sizes to suit your preferences.
Q.   Do you install a base underneath?A. Yes — we lay a proper sub-base (MOT type 1), weed membrane, and edge restraints to ensure stability and long life.
Q.   Will the gravel move or spread over time?A. Some movement is normal, but with correct installation and edging, spreading is minimal. Grid systems are available for high-traffic areas.
Q.  Is a gravel driveway good for drainage?A. Yes — gravel is naturally permeable, making it ideal for areas prone to standing water or where SUDS compliance is important.
Q.  How often does gravel need topping up?A. Most driveways only need a light top-up every 3–5 years, depending on use and weathering.
Q.  Can I drive heavy vehicles on a gravel driveway?A. Yes — if installed with a proper base and the correct gravel type, it will support cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles.
