The Work
Gravel Driveways & Patios You Can Trust in Forest Hill
Gravel Driveways & Patios across Forest Hill and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Forest Hill address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.
Forest Hill's wooded, hilly streets suit a gravel driveway or patio well, softer and more in keeping with the surrounding greenery than a hard paved surface, provided the groundwork underneath is done properly.
Whatever the area, the first step is the same: someone comes and looks at it properly, tells you what it needs, and gives you a price in writing before any work starts.
We cover Forest Hill (SE23) and the surrounding streets.
- A look at the area on site before any price is given
- Excavation and a properly compacted sub-base
- Edging to keep the gravel contained
- Weed membrane laid before the gravel goes down
- Gravel or shingle laid to the correct depth
What We Do
How Gravel Driveways & Patios Work in Forest Hill, Step by Step
You call or send the form
Tell us the address and roughly what you're looking for. A photo from your phone saves a lot of guessing.
We come and look
Size, ground condition and drainage decide the price, so it gets seen rather than described. You get the price in writing.
We excavate and prepare
The area is dug out and a proper sub-base laid and compacted.
Edging and membrane go in
Edging keeps the gravel contained, and a weed membrane goes down before the stone.
The gravel is laid and finished
Spread and levelled to the right depth, and the site left tidy.
Driveways
Gravel Driveway Installers in Forest Hill
A gravel driveway in Forest Hill needs proper groundwork, excavated, a compacted sub-base, then edged before the gravel goes down, adapted for any slope on the plot.
Patios
Gravel Patios in Forest Hill
A gravel patio in Forest Hill suits the wooded character of the area well, and the groundwork matters just as much as on a driveway to stop it settling unevenly.
Shingle
Shingle Driveways in Forest Hill
Shingle is a rounder, smoother stone than angular gravel. We can lay either in Forest Hill, and will talk you through the difference before you decide.
The Price
How Much Does a Gravel Driveway or Patio Cost in Forest Hill?
The size of the area, the ground underneath, and how it drains all decide the price, and none of that can be judged from a description. So every job is quoted on site, free and with no obligation.
- Forest Hill's hillier, more established gardens can affect how a gravel job is built, particularly around drainage and edging.
- The size of the driveway or patio.
- The condition of the ground and whether it drains well.
- Whether edging is needed to contain the gravel.
- The type and colour of gravel or shingle chosen.
Why Choose Us
Why Forest Hill calls us back
The price comes after we have seen it
The size of the area, the ground underneath, and how it drains all decide the price, and none of that can be judged from a description. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing.
We finish the job the same day we start it
Excavation, sub-base, edging and the gravel itself are all done in one visit, not spread across a second trip.
Trees and grounds from one team
The same crew that clears an overgrown corner can lay a gravel driveway on it, or lay turf alongside a new gravel patio. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one project.
You are told when something is a bad idea
Gravel laid straight onto bare soil without a proper sub-base sinks and weeds through within a season. Where a shortcut will not last, we say so before quoting, not after.
You do not pay until you are happy with it
No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.
