Why Use Gravel Stabilisation Grids?

Firstly, let's talk about gravel or decorative aggregates. Gravel is an excellent material to use (when stabilised with Nidagravel gravel grids) to create an attractive, free-draining surface for gardens, driveways, and commercial spaces. Gravel is supplied in a wide range of sizes, colours, and textures and is completely permeable. Available in bulk bags or loose loads all over the UK, it is a cost-effective surfacing material, it is also completely natural. Decorative gravels are also very versatile and can be used in contemporary or more traditional settings. Gravel has a lovely crunching sound underfoot and when we think of a classic driveway surface, here in the UK, we tend to think of the long sweeping gravel driveways and entrances of stately homes and country houses. Gravel really is a superb surface material to use and when installed using Nidagravel gravel stabilisation grids, we think stabilised gravel provides the most attractive, environmentally friendly surface available in the UK.
So, gravel itself is not the problem. The way in which gravel is traditionally installed is the problem.
It has long been acknowledged that the traditional way of laying decorative gravel and aggregates directly over the sub-base, in the long term, leads to a number of problems. These include loss of gravel or gravel migration, unwanted gravel spilling into lawns and borders, development of potholes and ruts, maintenance issues and traditional gravel surfaces can be very difficult to walk on, push a wheelchair or buggy and in some cases, it can even be difficult to drive on. These problems apply to all situations where gravel is laid in the traditional way, including driveways, garden paths, seating areas, and large gravel surfaces in public spaces. Traditionally laid gravel is often even more problematic when used for driveways, parking areas and car parks as regular vehicular traffic compounds the problem and regularly results in potholes and ruts developing which then pool with water when it rains. This is what we would refer to as poor surface performance and one that requires constant attention and maintenance.
Nidagravel gravel stabilisation grids provide the solution!
Our range of gravel grids and honeycomb stabilizers are the answer. Nidagravel gravel grids were designed to develop a way of stabilising gravel using a matrix of hexagonal cells. These hexagonal cells form a honeycomb structure which can be filled with gravel and which hold the gravel firmly in place, permanently. The perfect solution you might say!
