From smart driveway upgrades near Brixton Market to tidy front paths around Windrush Square, our paving is built for daily use and London weather. We install driveway block paving, patio block paving and pathway paving with neat decorative borders and clean lines. If you need a dropped kerb for safer access, we can advise and coordinate the right approach. Expect a finish that complements your home rather than overpowering it.
Brixton’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and newer developments means no two entrances are the same. We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, tailoring levels, edging and drainage to suit narrow front gardens and shared access. For homes in Brixton Hill, Tulse Hill and Stockwell, we design paving that improves kerb appeal while keeping practical parking and bin access in mind. Colours and laying patterns are chosen to match brickwork, railings and boundary walls.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear design options, then prepare a solid sub-base and correct falls for drainage. Every job is installed with careful compaction, precise cuts and kiln-dried jointing for a stable surface. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily, and schedule deliveries to reduce disruption on residential streets. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking can be tight around Electric Avenue and nearby residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. In the block paving Brixton area, we often encounter mixed ground and older garden walls, so we set levels to protect thresholds and air bricks. We also factor in Lambeth’s requirements around drainage and crossings, especially where a dropped kerb is needed. The result is paving that suits the street and performs year-round.

For most homes, block paving is typically £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block type, pattern complexity and groundwork. Many Brixton driveway or patio projects fall around £3,200–£6,000, but larger areas, extra excavation, drainage channels, steps or decorative borders can increase costs. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit, so you can compare like-for-like and avoid surprises.
Most installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base build-up, edging, laying, jointing and final compaction. Timescales vary with access, weather, the size of the area and whether we’re adding drainage or a dropped kerb. Pattern designs and intricate borders can add time due to extra cutting and alignment. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a new driveway or garden paving is permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas. For front gardens, permeable paving or suitable drainage is often required to avoid directing water onto the highway. If you need a dropped kerb, that typically involves council permission and an approved contractor process. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you plan compliantly.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our block paving installation workmanship. This covers issues linked to the build-up and laying, such as sub-base failure, significant sinking and edge restraint problems, provided the area is used as intended. Normal wear, staining and damage from heavy vehicles beyond design limits aren’t covered. We’ll explain care and maintenance, plus what to do if any settling occurs during the bedding-in period.
We offer a wide range of colours and finishes, including tumbled blocks for a period look, contemporary smooth blocks, and mixed tones to suit Victorian brickwork. Popular options include herringbone for driveways, stretcher bond for paths, and contrasting decorative borders to frame the area. We can also incorporate curved edges, steps and drainage details.
