Landscaping with gravel – 8 ideas to show how beautifully gravel suits all types of garden design

Gravel path, bench and flower borders.

Make landscaping with gravel your go-to choice as it's the one material that works whatever your style. If you love modern garden design that's big on geometric shapes, gravel will neatly fill spaces. If your style is more relaxed combine gravel with loose planting of perennials and ornamental grasses or for a more naturalistic design.

You can also combine gravel with drought-resistant planting, xeriscaping and other dry garden ideas as it's a great fit. In fact many plants are happy to settle their roots straight into gravel. Any gaps will soon be colonised by self-seeding plants that will help your landscaping design evolve with very little input needed from you.
