Gravel without fuss

Pavement plays an undeniable role in this, and so day by day the importance of permeable solutions such as gravel is growing. Although the average customer will probably be more concerned about the appearance and ease of maintenance of his driveway, than about the Flemish softening offensive. That balancing act especially requires the right materials.

For about four years now, the originally Dutch company Grindsplit-Discounter has been offering garden contractors and road builders in Belgium and the Netherlands all they need for permeable paving via a business webshop. Thanks to the high volumes and direct contacts with wholesalers and manufacturers all over Europe, various types of gravel and split as well as all related components and supplies are offered at competitive prices. The central location near Rotterdam enables the company to deliver promptly in Belgium as well.

Extra sturdy gravel plate

At the base of every quality gravel solution is a custom gravel board. Particularly in driveways, where the ever heavier passenger cars and almost daily passage of courier services and delivery vans can cause the pavement to look lousy over time, it is good to pay extra attention to what ultimately remains hidden under gravel and grit.

Grindsplit-Discounter offers solutions for all applications, from walkway to driveway and patio, with an affordable price tag. Specifically in response to the heavy loads and lateral pressures facing driveways today, the company had the Excellent Extra Strong developed. This frost-resistant polypropylene gravel board, with standard dimensions 120 x 80 x 3 centimeters, is three times heavier than its classic counterparts and has a load capacity as much as thirty times higher. It also uses an anti-root fabric of 90 instead of 40-50 g/m2, which is thermally welded to the slab for absolute security. Weak spots are thus eliminated, and the driveway remains looking great even after constant driving up and down.

Elegant finishing

A high-quality gravel surface finish requires further attention to details such as edges and borders. As a distributor of Straight Curve edge partitions, Grindsplit-Discounter offers a solution for this that combines elegance with particular ease of installation. This is because the Flexline metal edging dividers feature an attractive, curved top and allow themselves to bend perfectly into the field. With a basic length of 220 centimeters and a dead simple connection principle - no welding is required - both straight borders and beautiful flowing lines can be realized in no time.

The range includes solutions in galvanized or Corten steel, and in heights from 75 to 560 millimeters. These not only separate ground covers from each other, but can also be used, for example, to line raised borders.
