Gravel Driveway Maintenance
Whether your home currently features a gravel driveway or
you are thinking about installing one, the maintenance of
your gravel driveway is an important factor that needs to be
considered.
While many homeowners love the versatility and beauty
offered by gravel, no one wants to spend a lot of time and
money continually maintaining the appearance of their
driveway.
Fortunately, in addition to providing people with plenty of
options in terms of type, colour, style, gravel can be easily
cared for - especially when used in conjunction with a high
quality gravel stabilisation product like StablePAVE.
StablePAVE substantially reduces the maintenance and
upkeep of your gravel driveway by removing the problems of
rutting, sinking and gravel migration, as well as endless
grading and gravel augmentation. A gravel driveway,
installed with the benefits of our StablePAVE products only
needs a little TLC and will serve you well for a long time.
Here are a few handy tips to help you keep your driveway
looking great at all times
• Debris removal: Make it a habit to rake debris out of your
driveway when needed, especially during the autumn and
winter months. This will help keep your driveway looking
pristine and prevent the build up of mulch.
• Watch your speed: Driving extremely fast on your
driveway can dislodge loose gravel and even cause pieces
to end up in your garden. Over time, this can lead to
unnecessary and prematurely thinned-out areas of the
driveway.
• Use an edging material: Over time, vehicular and foot
traffic can cause gravel to move about a bit and end up in
the grass instead of on the driveway. To keep gravel in
place and add to the overall attractiveness of your
driveway, consider using landscaping edging products like
RITE EDGE or RITE-L-EDGE to create perfect lines and
sweeping curves. Not only will these products keep the
gravel where it should be, but they are extremely durable,
long-lasting and save you hours of edging work and
further maintenance. Bricks, pavers and other decorative
stones can then be added to further enhance the overall
look and aesthetics.
