Local Farnworth BL4 Shingle Drive Contractors
Nice & Tidy Landscaping is a family-run business based in Failsworth, laying gravel and shingle driveways, paths and patio areas in Farnworth and around Greater Manchester.
Gravel is one of the most cost-effective ways to surface a drive, but it needs the same groundwork as any other. We dig out, lay a compacted stone base, add a weed membrane and fit firm edging so the stone stays where it should.

Add Security to Your Farnworth Property with a Gravel Driveway
Loose stone is noisy underfoot. Anyone walking or driving onto a gravel drive makes a clear crunch, which many homeowners like as a simple, natural deterrent.
Gravel is also permeable, so rain soaks through rather than running off onto the road, which helps on drives where drainage would otherwise be tricky.
What's included
Shingle is a Great Choice for Farnworth Driveways
Shingle comes in a wide range of colours and sizes, suits both modern and traditional houses and can be topped up easily over time. Laid properly, it gives a smart, low-cost drive.

How we carry out the work
How We Build a Gravel Driveway
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Excavate
We strip the old surface and soil to the depth needed and take the waste away.
Base and edging
Crushed stone is laid and compacted, and edging is set to contain the finished surface.
Membrane and grids
A weed membrane goes over the base, with retaining grids on drives that need extra stability.
Stone and rake
The chosen gravel is spread and raked to an even depth, and the site is cleared.
