Why Choose Us?
How we install professional shingle and aggregate drives
My process is thorough and designed for longevity. It begins with a comprehensive site survey in Northampton to assess the existing ground conditions. The first step involves professional excavation to a suitable depth, removing old surfacing and organic material. Next, I install a heavy-duty geotextile weed membrane which is essential for preventing weed growth and keeping the sub-base from mixing with the soil.
A high-quality MOT Type 1 sub-base is then laid and compacted using a heavy-duty vibratory plate to create a rock-solid foundation. For a premium finish, I often recommend the installation of stabilization grids. These honeycomb cells hold the aggregate in place, preventing ruts and ensuring the surface remains level and easy to walk or drive on. Finally, I spread your chosen decorative aggregate at a consistent depth to ensure a beautiful and functional finish.

Who We Are
What are the benefits of choosing gravel for your driveway?
Choosing a gravel driveway offers several unique advantages. Firstly, it is one of the most cost-effective surfacing options available today, allowing you to cover large areas without the high expense of block paving or resin. Secondly, gravel provides excellent security; the distinct crunching sound of footsteps or tyres serves as a natural alarm, deterring unwanted visitors.
From an aesthetic perspective, gravel is incredibly versatile. You can choose from a wide range of materials including golden flint, Cotswold stone, grey granite, or local river shingle to perfectly complement the architectural style of your home in West Northamptonshire. Furthermore, gravel is a natural material that fits seamlessly into both rural and urban environments.

Are there specific local regulations for your new driveway?
One of the greatest benefits of gravel is its natural permeability. At Swift Property Solutions, I ensure every project is fully SUDS compliant. Because water can drain naturally through the surface and into the ground, you typically do not require planning permission from the local Northampton council for these installations. This is a significant advantage over non-porous surfaces like tarmac or concrete which often require additional planning or expensive drainage solutions.
I also ensure all work respects the boundary rules and the Party Wall Act where applicable, and I can advise on the requirements for a dropped kerb if you are creating a new entrance.
