Why Bishop’s Stortford Homeowners Trust Us
17+ Years of Local Experience
Nearly two decades serving Bishop’s Stortford, Stansted Mountfitchet, Sawbridgeworth, and surrounding areas. We understand local ground conditions—particularly the clay-based soils common around Bishop’s Stortford that require proper preparation and drainage solutions. Our experience translates to efficient installations, problem-solving ability, and results that last.
Family-Run Business
We’re not a national franchise or corporate contractor. We’re a local family business with deep roots in the community. Our reputation is built on word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers—the most powerful endorsement possible. When you hire us, you’re supporting a local family, not distant shareholders.
Gravel Installation Specialists
While gravel driveways might seem straightforward, professional installation makes all the difference. We understand:
Proper excavation depths for different soil conditions
Sub-base specifications that prevent settling and rutting
Geotextile membrane installation preventing weed growth
Appropriate drainage gradients directing water away from properties
Multi-layer gravel systems for durability and appearance
Robust edging that contains gravel and maintains neat boundaries
Many contractors rush gravel installations, creating driveways that develop problems within months. We invest the time and materials to create installations that perform flawlessly for 15-20+ years.
Experienced Installation Team
Our team has installed hundreds of gravel driveways across Bishop’s Stortford and East Hertfordshire. Every installation follows proven methodologies refined over years of experience. We don’t cut corners, rush preparation, or compromise on foundation quality—the decisions that determine longevity.
Quality Materials Only
We source premium gravels from established UK quarries and suppliers. From traditional pea gravel to contemporary decorative chippings, every material is properly washed, graded, and selected for durability and appearance. We use robust MOT Type 1 sub-base, heavy-duty geotextile membranes, and quality edging materials—investing in components you don’t see but that determine performance.
Honest, Transparent Pricing
Our detailed quotations break down all costs including excavation, materials, labour, edging, and waste removal. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—just honest pricing that represents excellent value.
Gravel driveways typically cost £30-£50 per square metre in Bishop’s Stortford—significantly less expensive than block paving (£60-£100 per m²) or resin (£70-£90 per m²). This makes gravel ideal for budget-conscious homeowners wanting quality results without premium price tags.
10-Year Guarantee
We stand behind our installations with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee covering workmanship, drainage, and structural integrity. Properly installed gravel driveways won’t sink, develop ruts, or suffer from poor drainage when constructed to our standards. This guarantee reflects our confidence in professional installation.
Fully Insured
£5 million public liability insurance protects you, your property, and your neighbours throughout every installation. Professional insurance is essential—never use uninsured contractors regardless of price.
Customer-Focused Service
From your first phone call through project completion and beyond, expect courteous, professional service. We maintain clean, safe work sites, respect your property, communicate clearly, and ensure you’re completely satisfied with your new gravel driveway.
