When it comes to surfacing driveways and garden paths, choosing the right material is key to achieving a balance of durability, appearance, and practicality. One increasingly popular option for homeowners and landscapers alike is Moonstone Gravel, a striking, naturally coloured aggregate that’s ideal for both functional and decorative outdoor spaces.
What Is Moonstone Gravel?
Moonstone Gravel is a high-quality decorative aggregate made from a mix of flint and quartz stones in a variety of subtle tones, including creams, browns, greys, and whites. The result is a rich, natural-looking gravel that complements both traditional and contemporary outdoor settings. Our 20mm Moonstone Gravel is carefully screened to ensure consistent sizing, making it ideal for driveways, footpaths, garden borders, and even as a decorative mulch around plants and water features.
Ideal for Driveways
One of the standout reasons to choose Moonstone Gravel for your driveway is its excellent durability. The 20mm size is ideal for creating a stable surface that compacts well under the weight of vehicles while allowing rainwater to drain naturally, helping to avoid puddles and surface erosion.
Because of its flint content, Moonstone Gravel is also more angular than standard pea gravel. This means the stones interlock better under pressure, reducing displacement and minimising ruts or bare patches forming over time. It’s a low-maintenance solution that looks good and performs well.
Perfect for Paths and Walkways
For garden paths, Moonstone Gravel provides a comfortable walking surface while also delivering strong visual appeal. The natural colour mix creates a warm, welcoming feel that works beautifully alongside paving, planting beds, or lawn areas.
Its angular shape helps it stay in place on footpaths better than rounded gravel, reducing the amount of ongoing maintenance needed to keep walkways tidy and usable. It also contrasts nicely with other landscaping features, helping to define the space and improve accessibility.
Aesthetic and Practical Benefits
Aside from its performance, Moonstone Gravel is a visually appealing choice. Its colour blend offers a different look than other decorative gravel, and its light, reflective tones can brighten up shaded areas of your outdoor space.
It’s also easy to install, simply level the area, lay a suitable sub-base and weed membrane, and spread the gravel evenly. This makes Moonstone Gravel a great option for DIY landscaping projects.
