From Tooting Broadway station to the streets around Tooting Bec, smart paving makes a noticeable difference to kerb appeal. We design and install block paving for driveways, patios and pathways that suits Victorian front gardens and busy family homes alike. Expect clean edges, neat falls for drainage, and a finish that stays level under daily use. We work across SW17, including Tooting Broadway and Furzedown.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with narrow access, stepped thresholds and small front gardens that need clever layout. Our team is used to creating parking solutions without losing planting space, and to matching paving tones to London stock brick. If you’re updating a tired concrete drive or replacing loose slabs, we’ll recommend a build-up that suits the property and the ground below. For the block paving Tooting area homeowners choose, details like edging and levels matter.
We start with a site survey, then set out levels, excavate, install a robust sub-base and compact in layers before laying blocks on a sharp sand bed. Finishing includes decorative borders, pattern designs and optional sealing where appropriate, plus tidy reinstatement around walls and flowerbeds. You’ll get clear communication, a written scope, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Many clients choose us because we deliver clean, organised sites and consistent results.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, driveway layouts must often consider pavement levels, existing drainage and practical access for materials. Around Tooting Graveney and Tooting Bec, we frequently work with tight parking, controlled delivery times and limited skip placement. We plan waste removal, protect neighbouring boundaries, and design paving that fits typical bay-fronted terraces and mansion blocks. Where required, we can advise on dropped kerbs and liaise around the process.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For most homes in SW17, block paving typically costs £80–£120 per square metre, depending on block choice, pattern complexity, edging and drainage requirements. Many driveway or patio projects fall in the £3,200–£6,000 range, but larger areas or extra groundwork can increase this. We’ll survey levels, access and existing surfaces before confirming a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most block paving jobs in Tooting take 3–5 days from excavation to final compaction, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Timescales vary with the size of the area, how much digging-out is needed, and whether we’re adding drainage channels, steps or a dropped kerb. Complex pattern designs and decorative borders can add time, as can restricted parking and delivery windows.
Many driveway and garden paving projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and changes to access across the pavement. If the paved area is non-permeable, you may need suitable drainage to a compliant area rather than the public sewer. We’ll advise on permeable options, falls and drainage details, and we can help you check any Wandsworth requirements before work starts.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our block paving installations. This covers issues linked to our build-up and laying, such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction or edge restraints failing under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy abnormal loads, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also explain aftercare, including cleaning and re-sanding joints when needed.
You can choose from concrete or clay blocks in a range of colours, with popular options including brindle, charcoal and traditional red tones that suit period homes. We install herringbone for driveways, stretcher bond for paths, and add contrasting decorative borders for definition. If you want a standout look, we can create pattern designs and feature circles. We’ll help you match textures and tones to your brickwork and frontage.
