Driveway help - Layout

[richo106]

Hi All

 

We have got to decide on rough driveway design and make up shortly and after some advice.

 

I have attached my rough plan, red bring house, blue being the intended new slabs, black proposed locations of gates and yellow arrow front door.

I have also attached my first idea with the driveway. Had to extend the slabs so it all meets up, the brown hatched areas are block paving rumble strip. Sand colour is all gravel

 

The driveway is on a slight incline but they said with the gravel holders it will be absolutely fine. Was thinking with block paver edgings to hold the gravel in.

 

could anyone else suggest any driveway/ front of house layouts. Will consider anything or any recommendations on material to use etc instead of gravel

 

The only reason we have selected gravel is cost and we like the sound and look. The other option was resin which is a lot more expensive but heard some mixed reviews 

 

Any advice/ information greatly appreciated
