Recently had an old and broken asphalt driveway ripped up and replaced with resin bound stone by Avenue Driveways. From first contact, communication was excellent, the quote competitive and booking in the work couldn't have been simpler. The installation team were excellent; polite, punctual and incredibly hard working. Any issues or uncertainties were dealt with quickly and efficiently, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The finished drive looks fantastic. We would highly recommend them!Posted on Google

KhakiSuper Bunny5 July 2026Mark and his team were absolute professionals from my initial enquiries to when the last block was laid. Avenue driveways managed to completely tear out my old driveway and hedges and replaced it with new, amazing looking block paving and new fencing in a little under two days - they worked on two of the hottest days of the year so far and completely exceeded our expectations. Thank you Avenue Driveways, I'm going to be recommending you friends and family in the future!+0Posted on Google
Elaine Simpson12 May 2026Mark was very good at advising us on our options and what we needed. He was totally right! The tar and chip finish is very sturdy but looks like gravel, just what we wanted. They completed the job in an amazing two days even with all the tricky edging and a very stubborn wisteria root.Posted on Google
Estela Maurente4 May 2026My mother contacted Mark by phone, and he came that same day to take measurements and give a quote. They started the work and finished it in two days. They worked very quickly, efficiently, and professionally. It's great to find a company that takes its work seriously, and Mark's advice was spot on. I highly recommend them, especially seeing my mother so happy with the result; it turned out beautifully. Thank you so much, Mark, and your wonderful team!Posted on Google

Jeannette Astley-Jones28 March 2026After an initial visit to measure up and quote Mark came back on Wednesday evening to answer some additional queries. Mark and his team arrived on Thursday morning and started the transformation of our drive. It was completed today (Saturday). The whole team have a very positive 'can do' approach which made the whole experience run very smoothly. We live on a single track lane with a particularly tricky entrance to the property Mark and his team cheerfully navigated these difficulties which was greatly appreciated. The end result is superb - it is hard to believe it is the same drive. We could not be happier. Mark's team especially Adam and Aaron were an absolute joy to work with - exceptionally hardworking, friendly and positive. I cannot recommend Avenue Driveways highly enough. Thank you.+2Posted on Google

Luke Burch4 August 2025Mark and his team were great, we weren't sure what was best for our large drive and Mark talked us through the options, we settled on a tar and chip driveway and extended the existing driveway to make it more usable. From the initial site survey it was completed within a week for a great price. We're really pleased with the new drive and would highly recommend avenue driveways.Posted on Trustatrader
Kevin17 July 2025Mark's two employees, Seb and Rab started in the morning making preparation for the resin to be laid on the concrete sub-base. Then later, Mark and one or two other employees laid the resin top -coat. They completed it in a day. They worked virtually non-stop, and the final result was a top class job.Posted on Trustatrader

Peter Gallon14 March 2025Looking for someone to convert our rather scrappy front garden into a usable parking area, we came across Avenue Driveways. Owner Mark Sykes came around promptly and outlined what was possible and what it would cost. We gave him the go ahead that evening and he turned up the next morning with a mini digger to uproot an unwanted shrub or two he could pass on to another client. Then the whole area was dug up and heaped up for collection by a grab hire vehicle, which also delivered the stone base material. It was a grim day, weather wise but Mark and his team beavered away and by the end of the day our new tarred and gravelled parking area was complete and looking great. Outstanding service and value for money. Almost itching for an excuse to get Mark and co back again for another job.+1Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

FAQs – Gravel Drives & Paths in Thetford
Gravel is a highly permeable material, which means it allows water to drain naturally, reducing the risk of standing water or flooding. Unlike solid surfaces, it does not crack in cold weather, making it ideal for the UK climate.
Unlike tarmac or concrete, gravel driveways do not crack. However, over time, high traffic areas may develop slight dips. These are easily repaired by redistributing the gravel or adding a fresh layer of stone when needed.
A well installed and properly maintained gravel driveway can last many decades. Over time, you may need to top up the gravel to maintain the desired level and appearance, but the surface itself remains highly durable with minimal upkeep.
The cost of a gravel driveway depends on factors such as the size of the area, the type of gravel chosen and any additional features like edging or stabilisation layers. At Avenue Driveways, we provide free site assessments and no obligation quotes, ensuring you get a driveway that suits your needs and budget.
Gravel driveways are relatively low maintenance, requiring only occasional raking to level out any displaced stones and the occasional top-up of gravel to keep the surface looking fresh. We also install a stabilising membrane underneath to reduce weed growth and shifting.
Yes! We offer a wide selection of gravel types, colours and sizes to match your property’s aesthetic. You can also enhance your driveway with features like block paving borders, granite setts or decorative entrance rumble strips for a unique and polished look.
