Local & Trusted Gravel Driveway Specialists in Peterborough
If you’re looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property while keeping costs manageable, a gravel driveway is an excellent option.
At Avenue Driveways, we specialise in designing and installing stunning shingle driveways that not only elevate the look of your home but also provide a durable and low maintenance surface that stands the test of time.
Great Value Loose Gravel Drives
Loose stone driveways are a versatile and affordable alternative to tarmac, block paving or resin bound surfaces. They work particularly well for large driveways where full paving can be costly and for properties that embrace a classic, natural aesthetic.

- Classic Gravel Driveway – A traditional loose stone surface that blends effortlessly with
period homes, rural properties and gardens. - Permeable Gravel Driveway – Designed to support natural drainage, preventing standing
water and reducing flood risks - Patterned Gravel Driveway – A creative approach using different gravel colours or sizes to

FAQs – Gravel Drives & Paths in Peterborough
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.
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.
