However, there are also a number of concerns with this choice of covering including a lack of drainage and also eventual gravel migration.<\/p>\n<p>X-Grid was therefore the perfect product for preventing the homeowner\u2019s concerns from becoming a reality. Each grid provides a porous and permeable surface which maintain natural drainage routes thanks to their cellular design. Their construction also means they\u2019re easy to fill and pack tightly, significantly reducing gravel migration.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/Poulton-Gravel-Driveway-Case-Study-X-Grid-Laid.jpg\" alt=\"Poulton - Gravel Driveway Case Study X-Grid Laid\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/Poulton-Gravel-Driveway-Case-Study-X-Grid-Laid.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/Poulton-Gravel-Driveway-Case-Study-X-Grid-Laid-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/Poulton-Gravel-Driveway-Case-Study-X-Grid-Laid-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mathew Bennett Gardening Services &amp; Landscape Maintenance was the contractor chosen for this mammoth job.
