Here are 10 stylish and practical ideas for your front yard

Gravel driveways are worth looking into for your property. And we’re not just talking about their easy-going aesthetic that seems to complement almost every garden style – they tick tons of practicality boxes, too.

For starters, gravel is budget-friendly – much more so than most paving options. Gravel is also easy to install and durable. Another benefit of using gravel for your driveway is for security purposes: the distinguished crunch underfoot will alert you to any approaching visitors. Gravel will also drain excess rain away from your property, which can help you avoid flash flooding.

Still not convinced? We’ve collected many creative ideas for gravel driveways, so you might be inspired to make one.

These gravel driveway ideas can be used for modern or country-cottage designs.
