Jacking car on gravel

[Saamjohn]

Right wasn't sure which section to put this in but this seems the most appropriate. Needing to do some work on the Clio that requires the car on stand's but my driveway is all gravel and the road is really and option. Anyone on here have any tips for jacking up a car on gravel safely? Or pictures of a safe setup.
I do have friends who's garages and driveways I can borrow but want to be able to do it on my own.
Cheers guys

Nice bit of large flat wood, spreads the load out.

Yeah that'd do it! Or if you have 4 paving slabs. Working under the car wont be nice on gravel though so I'd try to avoid that

patio slab or wood under each wheel, the jack and axle stand. Put a spare wheel under the car too as a back up

I just got some squares of end panel made up at work to spread the load... Still not sure I'd be comfortable using these on gravel.
