I did exactly the same with our front lawn 2 years ago the gravel grids are holding up well we use it now as a turning area for our cars and they are holding up very well and the gravel stays in the cells and doesn't end up all over the driveway 👍

Do you have any trouble with weeds?
@joebloggs36298 күн бұрын
@Marc.Vanguard nope, none at all before i laid the gravel grids, I laid a membrane down 2 courses in opposite directions and pinned the membrane down and then set the gravel grids on top.

I would of put them grid's down first then ordered the decorative stone, and got the guy to drop the bags on top of the grids spaced out 3rd of the grid each bag. Then just cut them open would be easier than hand balling with shovals cand wheel barrows. Aside from that you did a great job's, saved yourself paying tradesmen.

Your video is the most useful and inspiring out of all i watched so far. I am a tiny person and a single mom who is trying to do the same project as yours & diy around the house myself as i can't afford to pay trademen. I have noticed a long wood slab you used on one of the edge, where can i get that and how to lay it down please? So that gravels don't go to my neighbour's side. Thank you very much in advance

hey, inspiring video. I'm planning a similar project for this August and hopefully my toddles will help me as well :) SIlly question: you mention you dug 30mm....but most sub-base suppliers recommend a 100mm sub-base depth for a driveway...I'm guessing all they want is to sell more material ? O_O

@ianbarnes96126 күн бұрын
Four grids per square metre.
@ianbarnes96126 күн бұрын
5.5 metres would be 11 grids (or 12 to be safe). 6.7 metres would be 14 grids. So 11 or 12 x 14
