So I have finally finished working on our gravel driveway. We've seen all seasons during this project.
We worked on and off over the last 3 months as we both work full time. But, we so proud of ourselves and I think it roughly cost us about £1300 - I'll tot it up properly soon and leave a pinned comment when I know for sure ;)
If you have any questions about it, then feel free to ask below and I'll try to answer asap.
Also, if you're unsure about how much gravel and subbase you need, then there's a lot of driveway calculators online. Here's a random one for you: decorativeaggregates.com/pages...

This gravel project is really inspiring and useful that I ended up doing my back patio and put down some stepping stones up to the patio door as well! One thing I would have done different though is cement the gravel into that recessed drain cover (a bit like how you did with the drop bolt pipe) , reason being is because in case it needs to be accessed in the event of a blockage the gravel doesn’t move around in the tray and potentially fall down the drain and cause a blockage. The DIY patio slabs videos and bungalow renovation are also really good too!

I love your videos, we've been quoted between 6 and 8 thousand to do our drive and the space seems similar to yours. I just need to convince my husband I can do this myself. I have secretly bought a compactor so I can do work as and when between the children's naps. Thank you for giving me my self belief back. I'm practical but since having children i feel like I'm not capable anymore.

Very nicely done. A handy tip for when you are getting materials delivered by the ton bag. Lay down a couple of 8x4 ply sheets. When the driver cranes the bags over the sheets slice open the bottom of the ton bags letting all the material fall onto the ply. Its so much easier to shovel gravel & sand when its not in the bags.

This is amazing! I’m trying to make a level parking pad on a left to right slope for my travel trailer in our rv park. We want the sight to be level and accessible enough that we can just park it without having to relevel it everytime. We’ll probably need a small retaining wall but the sleepers looked great! Would they hold as a retaining wall with gravel?

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! There's the occasional escape but not enough to bother sweeping. The only thing I'd say is that we put too much gravel down (maybe two tonne too much at a guess) as it didn't compress down that well. My father-in-law also confirmed this, but we can reuse elsewhere down the line.

Congratulations. Lots of hard work! The one thing that would have made this perfect would be to add a stabilising grid on top of the sub-base before spreading the golden aggregate on top. This prevents the decorative aggregate from working down into the sub-base and keeps everything looking nice and level without wheel tracks etc. For a driveway that size it wouldn't have added much to the cost either.

Also, for anything that's too far away for the grabber, get them to stack the bags. Then put a barrow next to the bags and slit the top bag, the contents then just slide into a barrow, saves shoveling.

Looks fantastic, although I do think the lighter colour would have given a better contrast to the brick of the house but perhaps I'm just biased against those golden coloured stones, had them out the back for years and hated them, I just think they look dirty. Anyway well done it looks very professional and saving money is always a huge bonus too

Thanks +Jack :) I loved the colour far left of the samples - they dried paler too the next day but my father in law advised us not to as they'd get dirty very quickly. And the moment we reversed on to the gold, we dirtied it from the grass verge which made me realise he was right. If that darker one everyone preferred stayed that colour, I would have gone for that instead (it was the cheapest) lol but looked like subbase when it dries :(

Found your Chanel when searching for DIY gravel driveways . Wow you go girl! I want to do mine now. I have seen people use rubber mat things under the gravel to hold it in place however I’m trying to keep the cost down so don’t really want to use them. Has your drive lasted well or are you finding the gravel ends up everywhere else other than just the drive ?

Thanks! How is the driveway when it comes to shoveling the snow? Do the stones get tossed and shoved all over with the snow?

+Andy Alker Lol, my mum and brother used to think so, but I didn't at the time. I could quite happily relax on the sofa these days doing very little 😄😄😄

If anyone is watching tbis and has old slabs , brick , block copncreteetc. Don't get s skip Get a Crusher. Make your own hardcore. No skip cost, no mot cost, no wheel barrowing stuff to the skip only to barrow more crushed stuff back. Saves money, and effort with barrowing. Crushers have tracks so easy to move around.. Great video and fab finish

Hi, great videos. One question, and forgive me if you mentioned this and I missed it, how deep did you make the different layers? We have a gravel driveway but I want to widen it so need an idea of how much soil I should remove and how much hardcore etc I should lay. Thanks
