🇬🇧Plastic Grid Mat Driveway & Decorative Gravel DIY Car Standing. How To Lay.

[@joebloggs3629]

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 👍

[@aaanton11]

That is awesome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Marc.Vanguard]

Do you have any trouble with weeds?

[@joebloggs3629]

@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.

Would "have" ," those" not them. You learn something every day , hope it helps with your English studies.

Thanks for the video. Great help. Planning a new bespoke shed build in 2025 and I am looking at using these plastic grids and pea shingle as the base. I am thinking it will be way cheaper and a lot less grief than putting a concrete base down.

[@aaanton11]

Don't forget the hardcore base, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

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

Is this work if i want to keep grass? Remove existing soil. Then install the plastic grid. Then install soil again with grass seed. Will this work?

[@aaanton11]

You will need to use hardcore under then fill with soil and grass seed, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@lapinchiloca]

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

The grids are 50cm sq How many grids will I needed for 5.5 x 6.7 metre space?? I can’t work it out

[@ianbarnes961]

Four grids per square metre.

[@ianbarnes961]

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
