When it comes to surfacing driveways and garden paths, selecting the right material is essential to achieving the perfect balance of durability, visual appeal and practicality. A popular choice among homeowners and landscapers alike is Moonstone Gravel – a naturally coloured, eye-catching aggregate 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 subtle, natural shades such as cream, brown, grey and white. The result is a rich, attractive finish that complements both traditional and modern outdoor designs. Our 20mm Moonstone Gravel is carefully screened for consistency in size, making it well-suited for driveways, footpaths, garden borders, and even as a decorative mulch around flower beds or water features.

Ideal for Driveways
Moonstone Gravel is an excellent choice for driveways due to its durability and practical performance. The 20mm size provides a stable surface that compacts well under the weight of vehicles while allowing water to drain through naturally, preventing surface puddles and reducing erosion.
Thanks to its flint content, Moonstone is more angular than traditional pea gravel. This helps the stones interlock when pressure is applied, minimising movement, reducing the risk of ruts, and preventing bare patches from developing. It’s a robust, low-maintenance surface that performs just as well as it looks.

Perfect for Paths and Walkways
Moonstone Gravel also excels on footpaths and garden walkways. It creates a comfortable walking surface and adds an attractive, natural touch to landscaped areas. Its blend of colours adds warmth and contrast, working well alongside paving, planting schemes or lawns.
The angular nature of the gravel helps it stay in place better than rounded stones, meaning less maintenance is needed to keep paths tidy and functional. It also serves to define walking routes clearly, improving the layout and accessibility of your garden.

Aesthetic and Practical Benefits
As well as its strength and functionality, Moonstone Gravel offers distinct aesthetic advantages. Its blend of light, reflective tones helps to brighten shaded areas and enhance the overall appearance of your outdoor space.
It’s also straightforward to lay. Simply level the ground, apply a suitable sub-base and weed membrane, then spread the gravel evenly across the area. This ease of installation makes it an excellent option for DIY landscaping projects.
