Where front gardens meet public pavements, we align levels neatly and consider surface-water requirements.

Costs vary with area size, excavation depth, access and the sett type chosen. As a guide, professionally installed cobblestone or granite sett driveways commonly range from around £180–£320 per m² in Addiscombe. Restoration and re-laying can be lower if the base is sound, often £90–£180 per m². Edging, steps, drainage channels and waste removal can affect the final figure.
Most installations take 5–10 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of groundwork required. A smaller single-car driveway may be completed within a week, while larger areas with complex patterns, extensive edging or drainage integration can take longer. Weather, curing time for bedding layers, and any unexpected issues under the existing surface (old concrete, poor sub-base) can also extend timescales.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development, but rules can apply around surface-water drainage and materials. If the driveway is not permeable, you may need a compliant drainage solution rather than directing water to the highway. Listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access/kerbs can introduce extra requirements. We’ll advise during the survey and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by installation faults, loose setts and edging movement. It’s based on correct use and normal vehicle loads, with exclusions for accidental damage, heavy commercial traffic and ground movement outside our control. We also use proven sub-base and bedding methods to minimise future maintenance.
You can choose from natural cobbles, granite setts, Belgian block and mixed tones to complement your property. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, basketweave and clean linear layouts with contrasting borders. We can add kerb-style edging, soldier courses and drainage channels that blend in. During the survey, we’ll show samples and recommend sizes and colours that suit your frontage and parking needs.
