After a smart & low-maintenance garden or driveway?

A versatile option for both functional and decorative uses, our aesthetically pleasing 20mm Cotswold gravel could be what you’ve been looking for…

Cotswold Gravel

Cotswold gravel just looks… good!

With its soft, warm mix of honey, beige, and cream tones, it complements everything from traditional cottages to contemporary builds. 

The light, neutral shades help brighten shaded areas and provide a crisp contrast against lawns, hedges, and planting, adding definition and structure without demanding constant upkeep.

It’s this versatility and understated elegance that make Hills Quarry Products’ Cotswold gravel a popular choice for gardens and driveways across the UK. If you want to achieve lasting kerb appeal with minimal effort, this is a material that delivers.

Smart & sustainable drainage

Cotswold gravel is highly permeable, allowing rainwater to naturally drain away, which helps reduce surface water runoff. 

This makes Cotswold gravel an excellent choice for sustainable landscaping, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall.

By choosing gravel over a sealed surface, you’re creating a garden or driveway that works with nature. It’s a simple but effective way to manage rainfall sustainably, especially in areas that may be prone to flooding in heavy downpours.

Easy DIY installation

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a DIY rookie, Cotswold gravel is simple to install.

Lay down a weed membrane, add edging for definition, and cover with gravel. It’s that easy. Taking the correct health & safety steps to protect yourself, such as wearing the correct protective clothing and following manual handling advice, the average homeowner could transform their garden and/or driveway.

And remember, our Hills Quarry Products team is always on hand to help with any questions you might have in our DIY journey.
