The challenge

Around the country house, a large outdoor area needed to be landscaped in a stylish and sustainable way. The driveway and terrace areas had to provide sufficient load-bearing capacity, while still matching the estate’s calm, green appearance.

A classic loose gravel surface on this scale could more quickly lead to rutting, shifting gravel and more maintenance. That’s why a stable solution was needed to keep the gravel neatly in place.

The challenge

Around the country house, a large outdoor area needed to be landscaped in a stylish and sustainable way. The driveway and terrace areas had to provide sufficient load-bearing capacity, while still matching the estate’s calm, green appearance.

A classic loose gravel surface on this scale could more quickly lead to rutting, shifting gravel and more maintenance. That’s why a stable solution was needed to keep the gravel neatly in place.

The charm of gravel is preserved, while the surface remains firm, neat and comfortable to use thanks to ECCOgravel.

The solution

For the driveway and terrace areas, ECCOgravel was chosen, a gravel stabilisation system that provides a stable and permeable gravel surface.

The gravel grids keep the gravel in place and create an even and comfortable surface. This makes the surface easier to walk and drive on than traditional loose gravel, even for a large project of more than 1,500 m².

The result

The result is a well-maintained landscaping scheme with a spacious driveway and gravel terrace areas.

Thanks to ECCOgravel, the project retains the natural look of gravel, but with greater comfort, stability and ease of use. The permeable construction allows rainwater to infiltrate locally and fits within a sustainable outdoor landscaping scheme.

With more than 1,500 m² of driveway and terrace area, this project shows how ECCOgravel can be used in large-scale outdoor spaces where appearance and functionality come together.
