Gravel is a popular and durable material that can be used to create impact and immediately improve the appearance of your garden.
A gravel driveway or patio is a quick and attractive alternative to block paving or brickwork. It is also a cost-effective way of surfacing any driveway or pathway large or small. This makes it a particularly popular choice.
Gravel is also a great option for a low maintenance garden. Not only is it low maintenance (and ideal for a holiday home) but you will also be able to plant Mediterranean-style drought-tolerant flowers, fruit, and veg.
Gravel or chipping acts as a natural moisture conservator, making it ideal for gardens that require less water than the average garden.
Decorative gravels and chippings are available in a variety or colours and sizes. The Coastal Garden Company will discuss this with you and the look you would like to achieve.

Decorative Gravels
Decorative gravels are perfect for adding texture, contrast, and personality to your garden. From contemporary spaces to coastal-style gardens in Torbay, the right gravel can elevate your entire outdoor design.
Popular decorative options include:
- Golden flint for a warm, natural finish
- Slate chippings for a modern, clean look
- White limestone for bright, eye-catching borders
- Mixed aggregates for a more rustic or coastal feel
Decorative gravel works beautifully in borders, around patios, under seating areas, or as a feature within planting schemes. It pairs well with paving, decking, and planting to create a balanced, cohesive space.

Driveway or Pathway Gravelling
Gravel is an ideal choice for driveways and pathways thanks to its durability, permeability, and timeless look. In areas like Torbay, where drainage and weather resistance matter, a professionally installed gravel surface ensures long-lasting performance.
We design and install gravel driveways and paths that are:
- Properly prepared with a solid sub-base to prevent sinking or shifting
- Designed with effective drainage to avoid pooling water
- Finished with edging options to keep gravel neatly contained
- Available in a range of sizes and colours to suit your property
Gravel driveways are also a great security feature, creating a natural crunch underfoot or tyres. Whether you're enhancing kerb appeal or improving access around your garden, this is a practical and attractive solution.
Low Maintenance Garden Solutions
If you're looking for a garden that looks great without constant upkeep, gravel is a smart investment. It significantly reduces the need for mowing, watering, and ongoing maintenance, making it ideal for busy homeowners or rental properties.
Our low-maintenance gravel gardens include:
- Weed membrane installation to minimise growth
- Strategic planting for visual interest with minimal care
- Defined zones for seating, pathways, and features
- Long-lasting materials that retain their appearance over time
Gravel gardens are also environmentally friendly, allowing water to drain naturally and reducing the need for irrigation. With the right design, you can achieve a clean, modern outdoor space that’s easy to maintain all year round.
