Driveways

Is laying stone chippings suitable for parking a small car on?

Hi Mark. Yes it is possible to lay chippings for a driveway but you must lay at least 100mm of crushed concrete for the sub base first and make sure it's well compacted. Also use a suitable terram under the sub base to help with movement and stop weeds growing also. Only lay about 40mm of chippings on top. Hope this helps. Many thanks Dwayne at Busbys Landscapes.

Hi Mark Yes, although softer stone chippings such as Cotswold will powder up over time. You will need a good sub base underneath also. Hope this helps Mark Surrey Hills Landscaping

Hi Mark Yes it is possible but i would recomend to post a job on main website because some of a job needs to be seen before any advice is given. Our service is free of charge with no obligation quote and our tradesmans are happy to help with every aspects of jobs. I would strongly recomend to post a job on Rated People home page then 3 companies will get in touch then you would be able to choose the right person as you would receive an e mail with a link to tradesman account where you would see a pictures and you will read revious from previous customers. I hope this will help Best regards Rafal

Yes but you would have to lay a hardcore sub base first or the Pebbles would just squash into the mud eventually
