A gravel driveway constructed with rainfall in mind

Jeremy knew a gravel driveway would be the most suitable finishing for the job because it is a sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) and abides by SuDS regulations. SuDS compliant systems are vital in areas prone to flooding because they allow water to permeate through and return back to the natural water cycle, eliminating reliance on urban drains and reducing surface water.

A gravel retention grid to suit nature

Jeremy had previous experience with Gravelrings gravel retention grid, so he knew this grid fitted the requirements for the job. Gravelrings gravel retention grid was the perfect solution for the project because it has a mesh-backed base, meaning water can permeate through and soak into the ground below; with the added benefit of anchoring the grid into the ground preventing the gravel sinking the panels, lifting them up and exposing them.

One of the features that made Gravelrings gravel retention grid perfect for the client’s gravel driveway is the circle ring design, as it has no weak corners that can snap or break. The circle design is a closed cell system, so for Jeremy’s client this means the gravel locks tightly into the system and cannot disperse to create sparse, patchy areas. The unique design of this gravel retention grid does not come at the expense of strength, as it has a weight-load capacity of 350 tonnes per sqm, meaning it can withstand frequent vehicular use.

A long-lasting, dry gravel driveway

The end result for Jeremy’s client is a beautiful, sweeping gravel driveway that effectively drains heavy rainfall. So now his client can enjoy clean, dry feet whenever he enters the home and has a gravel driveway that stands the test of time with minimal maintenance.
