Hogin or self binding grit is a cost effective hard surface that can be easily put down around areas like that.
hi Bob onlyproblem with hogging is if its wet under foot it can get a bit tacky and stik to the wheels then trails back into the house
John i will look at the william merritt web
I have used the gravel stabilising system at an allotment for disability people. Most of them uses a wheelchair.
The feed back I’m getting is brilliant.
You cant go wrong with the gravel stabilising system
hope it helps

It's not the cheapest but gravel stabiliser is very effective and would make it possible for a wheel chair to access.
I agree with the points made about gravel stabilisation systems. I've always had great feedback from clients on this and have just specified it for a project that needs to be wheelchair friendly.
The hands-down best gravel stabilisation system I’ve ever worked with and witnessed in use is the cellular hard plastic sheet. You bed it onto builder’s sand over a tamped surface, then fill with pea shingle. It is firm under foot and wheel, looks like a gravel path and because of the depth wicks surface water away effectively. It’s widely available by various manufacturers.
Research resin bound or resin bonded aggregare systems for a permanent (if not expensive) top finish
i have not come accross the small cell units only the larg ones that is why i thought it unsutable i will look into them a bit more, thank for the replys
The large-celled stuff is for vehicular access, but one of my clients has wheelchair paths done where the cells are only about three inches across, filled with small pea shingle. Very firm and effective, and attractive.
