More information about Gravel Grids
What are gravel grids used for?
Gravel is a useful decorative aggregate for driveways that drains well and can be topped up, but gravel driveways are prone to moving around, especially in areas with a lot of vehicle or foot traffic. Stray stones of gravel can build up into potholes and ridges, which can cause accidents or puddles of water that don’t drain properly. So, with a gravel driveway comes the need for gravel stabilisation and retention.
Gravel grids for driveways help to stabilise loose gravel and create a flat, porous surface, meaning rainwater can drain into the ground while the gravel is kept in place. A driveway gravel grid isn’t just helpful for gravel stabilisation and draining – the flat surface created by the gravel drive grids is much better for wheelchair accessibility and reduces accidents when driving or walking on the driveway.
Creating a gravel grid driveway also helps to prevent the growth of weeds. Many gravel grids will feature built-in anti-weed membranes that help to protect the ground and promote proper drainage while stopping unwanted weeds from sprouting up through the gravel.
What gravel stabilisation grids do we have available?
The Core Drive gravel grid is an all-in-one gravel grid that stablises loose gravel, prevents potholes, and has an integrated, heat-welded weed membrane attached to the underside of each panel. Designed to be practically invisible once properly installed, the Core Drive grids for gravel have excellent strength and durability and are made to withstand regular foot and vehicle traffic.
The ACO GroundGuard Tile is an interlocking tile that can be cut to size and is designed for ground reinforcement on driveways, paths and public access routes. The ACO gravel grid’s honeycombed design creates a system that is 90% porous to allow rainwater to naturally drain through.
