How To Create A Gravel Driveway Using X-Grid Gravel Grid

This video shows the construction and build-up of a gravel driveway using X-Grid gravel drive grids. It shows how to install the gravel driveway product through a time-lapse of a real gravel driveway installation.

Due to the SUDS regulation introduced in the UK in 2015 which dictates the permeability of surfacing to help combat the effects of urbanisation and reduce the risk of urban flooding, many people are deciding to choose a permeable gravel driveway construction, as opposed to a traditional concrete or tarmac construction.

By using the highly engineered and specially designed X-Grid, you can create a strong, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing driveway which can be customised to your exact specification. With such a huge range of different colours of gravel and aggregate available in the UK, there's sure to be one which suits the look of your home and garden.

Manufactured by GCL Products in the United Kingdom using 100% UK recycled plastic, X-Grid is capable of withstanding loads of up to 60 tonnes per axle, while only weighing just over 5kgs per m². This makes X-Grid ground reinforcement and gravel retention grids possibly the strongest product of its type anywhere in the world!

Perfect! After watching this, I decided not to touch my garden and leave it as it is for another year.

[paulac]

Totally! Was really looking forward to seeing the finished result and the video just cut out. Take it down!

If you watch this in reverse, they get a new block driveway!

As a few years have passed, was the ground stabiliser mesh worth it? as i am doing my drive which is a large area

X-Grid might be a great product and all for gravel substrates, but the owner of that brick patio only needed to pressure wash the shit out of it, and maybe redo the trim to give it a cleaner nicer border. It would have been a lot cheaper, a lot easier, and they could take the time to pressure wash the side of the house too.

You guys did a fab job, you know your trade, down side i would never be able to afford shame, but its nice to see real workers.

Ok to the idiots who say the brickwork was better did you miss that there was a raised bed and probably wanted space for two cars, jeeze I hope you're not in the trade.. Well done Matts grids really good job

[mikegeeguitarman]

Never really saw it finished did we..pointless almost

[MeMe-dwsm]

Stupid question could you not lay the gravel on the blocks? Better weed protection

[_Hangman]

Wow, how many layers...looks like the proper way to do a gravel drive though

[kennymacm]

[mrmoralman]

[philbateson]

Watched the video, but then didn't bother to show us the finished job??Strange🤔

[Wintershot]

That is the most ridiculous, over-the-top and unnecessary thing I have seen for a driveway. Mark up!

[danh]

Wow looks like it costed alot with all the materials you used lol you could get block paving for same price

[stephenmason]

The original looked better, just needed a power wash and not neglected?

[Crondar]

So, it was so ugly you didn't want to show the finished product?
