Hi,

I am looking at investing approx £3500 to £4000 in a gravel stabiliser supplied by either of the following:-

Core Gravel - http://www.coregravel.co.uk/
-or-
Nida Gravel -http://www.nidagravel.co.uk/

Before I do I wanted to see some reference sites but they seem to be quite hard to come across.

Has anyone had any experience with these Gravel stabiliser systems and if so would you please be kind enough to share (good or bad).

Also, has anyone specific experiences with either of the company's listed above?

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Hi M,

I used a net pave system on one job for a large car park, maybe 40 parking bays. I don't know what area your covering? But we did the car park for about £5k (if memory serves me right), car park was about 3500m2. I will try to remember/Google the supplier, service was brilliant too!

Interesting. My area is only 260m2 so price wise yours is very good value compared to mine.

Does it look comparable to both Nida and Core gravel?

Hope you can recall the company!! Thanks

Hi,

The stuff I had looked more rigid than the core gravel, I think we even put a crane on it at one point! I have Google'd, but can't find the product we used, it may come to me. The majority we gravelled, one side of the car park's bays we seaded and grassed (to blend in with the hill side. The net pave was held down with plastic stakes.

Im quite nervous about purchasing until I have heard some people's opinions. Don't want to get this driveway wrong.

Surely there must be more people out there that have used it?

Do you think there may be other forums that are more suited to gravel driveway discussions and therefore have a few more opinions? I don't know of any but would be happy for you to advise if you know of any?

Thanks
Mark
