Hoggin is a compactable groundcover that is composed of a mixture of gravel, sand and clay that produces a buff coloured bound surface. It is more commonly seen in the south of England and at National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty properties. The material is aesthetically suited to older properties and is lower maintenance than gravel alone since it does not need regular raking. Once laid, the surface is somewhat permeable to water and therefore does not easily hold puddles or generate rapid surface runoff. The material is increasingly being used at domestic properties as a low cost and environmentally friendly alternative to concrete and block paving in paths and driveways.
