About Gravel Lock

Our approach is simple — understand the problem, apply the right solution and deliver practical, cost-effective results.

Gravel Lock began in New Zealand, where founder Grant Lewis spent over 15 years developing and testing innovative alternatives to traditional road construction, dust suppression and maintenance methods.

After first discovering the products while working in construction materials, James Davies reconnected with Grant over a decade later to establish Gravel Lock Australia, bringing proven New Zealand technology together with nearly 40 years of Australian experience in road construction, quarrying and materials development.

Today, Gravel Lock Australia supplies specialist solutions to councils, quarries, mining operations and civil contractors across Australia.
