Driveway With Gravel Area Project in Garston Watford

Why did the client contact us?

A homeowner in Garston wanted to give their driveway a bit of a refresh. They wanted a stylish and practical solution to make their property stand out from the curb. That meant combining the best of both worlds: the functionality of block paving and the visual interest of decorative gravel.

We recommended a block paving driveway with a rectangular gravel section in the middle. That design provided a beautiful focal point and a durable, low-maintenance one. The homeowner chose a combination of light grey blocks with a darker grey border. That darker grey made the decorative gravel pop and tied the whole look together.

Block paving is a great choice for driveways because it’s strong, versatile, and built to last. Adding gravel visually breaks up the paved surface and helps with drainage, making it a pretty and practical feature.

What work was done?

Our team started by digging in and preparing the ground to give that driveway a solid foundation. Proper groundwork is essential to stop the surface shifting over time and to keep it level.

We laid the block paving in those gorgeous grey tones, carefully incorporating the rectangular gravel area as a decorative feature. We edged the gravel section with blocks to keep it contained and add some contrast to the design.
