Here at Nidagravel UK HQ, we have been supplying Nidagravel gravel grid systems for the best part of a decade to all sorts of customers across the UK from builders and landscapers to developers and civil engineers along with lots of keen DIY customers. Whilst we've known for years just how well Nidagravel grids work - it is still extremely gratifying to receive an email from a customer telling us how happy they are with their project.

The whole team was delighted to receive this email from a customer recently - it really made our day!

Hello,

Just to let you know that I have installed the grid and I am delighted with it. This sloping gravelled drive has been a problem since 1904 when the house was completed. It had a hump, where people had raked back the gravel from the gates over the years and consequently, a fearsome gradient beyond where cars slid down in the snow. I have lived here for over 30 years and had given up on the drive. You will see from one of the photographs that it had come to resemble a farm track.

I have done a lot of DIY work over the years but even so, this project was not only really easy but quite enjoyable. I re-levelled the drive so that the steepest gradient is 1 in 8 (12%). I spread out a couple of 800kg bags of coarse grit and used a hired wacker plate compactor. Assembly of the grids was really easy. The gravel has not moved at all. It is lovely to walk on, a pleasant but firm crunch, quite unlike the sensation of ploughing through ordinary loose gravel. There have been a few blades of grass that have risen from through the gravel but they can be pulled out, roots and all with a finger and thumb. My neighbour across the road said that I must have put £30,000 on the value of the house.

I do not care about that; I just keep looking at the drive and taking delight in the transformation. Of all the DIY jobs that I have done this has been the most satisfying.

Nidagravel is superb. Thank you.

Best wishes,
Carl Watson

A big THANK YOU to Mr Watson for taking the time to email us and send photos of his project. As you can see from the photos, it really is a gravel driveway transformation and Mr Watson has done a superb job installing the Nidagravel gravel stabilisation grid system. As Mr Watson states, once the ground preparation is done, installing our gravel grids is easy to do. Our gravel stabilisation systems are tried and tested, having been manufactured for 40 years, and are excellent at creating firm, stable, low-maintenance gravel driveways. You can read more about the benefits of using our gravel grids here.

We think that gravel driveways really are the way forward. A gravel driveway always looks great with any type of property plus gravel is a natural product available in a wide range of colours and sizes. Our gravel grids are completely unseen when installed and hold everything together behind the scenes created a nice stable surface and what's more a Nidagravel driveway is 100% rainwater permeable across the total surface area allowing rainwater to drain away naturally. Our grids are made from recycled plastic too - so Nidagravel is the eco-friendly choice, especially when compared with other alternatives.
