Top 5 Places to Use Golden Gravel
Mainland Aggregates’ Golden Gravel, especially the 20mm variety, is one of the most versatile and aesthetically pleasing materials you can use in landscaping. Its warm, golden hues can instantly brighten up any space, adding a sense of luxury and warmth. Whether you’re looking to enhance your garden, create a stunning pathway, or even make your driveway stand out, 20mm Golden Gravel from Mainland Aggregates is the ideal choice. Here are the top five places you can use it.
1. Driveways
Golden Gravel is an excellent option for driveways due to its durability and low maintenance. The 20mm stones provide a hardwearing surface that can withstand the daily wear and tear of vehicle traffic. One of the great advantages of using Golden Gravel for driveways is that it doesn’t just offer practicality - it also brings a sense of elegance. Its vibrant colour contrasts well with dark or dull surroundings, giving your driveway a welcoming and sophisticated look. Moreover, this gravel doesn’t move easily underfoot, ensuring a firm and stable surface.
2. Garden Paths
A well-designed garden path can truly enhance the beauty of your outdoor space. Golden Gravel, with its mix of angular and rounded stones offers both comfort and visual appeal for pathways. You can also easily combine these aggregates with other stones such as our Black Basalt Cobbles or larger, Dove Grey Gabion Stones for a totally unique and natural look.
The warm tones of the gravel create a stunning contrast against green plants and other natural features, turning a simple path into a standout feature. Plus, it’s low maintenance, making it a practical choice for areas that are busy, ensuring your garden stays beautiful without much hassle.
3. Borders and Flower Beds
Golden Gravel isn’t just for practical purposes; it’s a great decorative element too. Using this decorative gravel to border your flower beds or garden features can help define spaces while adding a rich, golden accent to your overall design. The light colour of the gravel can make your plants and flowers pop, enhancing the vibrancy of your garden. Plus, it’s a cost-effective way to keep weeds down and maintain clean, sharp lines in your landscaping.
4. Water Features and Fish Ponds
One lesser-known application of 20mm Golden Gravel is around water features or fish ponds. This gravel is fish-friendly, making it safe for aquatic environments as long as it’s thoroughly washed before use. The golden tones can give a serene and glowing look to ponds and other water features, creating a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere. Whether you use these decorative aggregates as pond lining or around the edges of a fountain, the result is both beautiful and functional.
5. Car Parks
If you’re managing a commercial or residential space that requires parking, Golden Gravel offers an aesthetically pleasing and functional surface for car parks. Its durable, angular structure ensures that it holds up well under the weight of vehicles. Additionally, the decorative gravel’s bright appearance can enhance the visual appeal of the car park, making it a more inviting space for visitors or residents.
