Section 9 Gravel Stabilisation Systems - ECCOgravel 96 ECCOgravel sheets are the ideal solution for the construction of paths and driveways. With a honeycomb structure fitted onto geotextile sheets, ECCOgravel produces a firm gravel surface which is not only low maintenance but also Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) compliant. What key features make ECCOgravel so ideal? It is recommended not to use gravel types with a size of less than 4mm; finer gravels could stick to people’s shoes or get between the profiles on the tyres of a car. For an optimum compaction in the honeycomb, we recommend limiting the maximum diameter of the gravel to 16mm. The sheets support the use of rounded pebbles and most decorative aggregates. Please see our Aggregates and Gravels on page 86.
