Apricot Gravel – 14-22mm

Add Warmth and Mediterranean Vibrancy to Your Garden Our 22mm Apricot Gravel—frequently known in the trade as “Golden Gravel” or “Solent Gold”—is one of the most popular decorative aggregates for those looking to inject a warm, sun-kissed glow into their outdoor space. Featuring a stunning blend of apricot, golden-yellow, cream, and tan hues, this flint-based gravel provides a bright, multi-tonal finish that complements both traditional honey-coloured stone and modern brickwork. The Perfect Multi-Tonal Aesthetic The beauty of Apricot Gravel lies in its varied colour palette. Unlike single-colour stones, the mix of warm tones ensures that it blends seamlessly into the natural landscape. When Dry: The stones have a soft, pastel appearance, offering a bright and airy feel that helps illuminate shaded corners of the garden. When Wet: The colours undergo a dramatic transformation, becoming deep, saturated, and incredibly vibrant. The apricot and gold tones “pop,” making the garden look just as beautiful in the rain as it does in the sunshine. Key Features & Benefits: Exceptionally Hard-Wearing: Being a flint-based material, this gravel is incredibly durable. It is resistant to crushing and fading, ensuring your driveway or path looks pristine for years to come. Ideal Size for Driveways: At 22mm, the stones are the perfect size for vehicle traffic. They are large enough that they won’t get stuck in car tyre treads, but small enough to interlock and provide a stable, driveable surface. Natural Security Layer: The distinct “crunch” produced when walking or driving over this gravel serves as a fantastic low-tech security feature, alerting you to anyone approaching your home. Excellent Drainage: This is a naturally permeable surface that allows water to flow freely through to the ground, helping to prevent puddles and meet SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations without the need for complex plumbing. Low Maintenance: A simple occasional rake to keep the surface level is all that is required to maintain its high-end appearance.
