Greenwich’s streetscape deserves paving with character, from the approach to Greenwich Park to the historic setting around the Cutty Sark. We design and build cobblestone driveways that feel authentic, handle daily parking, and elevate the frontage of your home. Whether you prefer traditional patterns or a cleaner, modern layout, we tailor the detailing to the architecture. We also integrate drainage so the driveway performs as well as it looks.
Across SE10 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and newer waterfront apartments, each with different access, levels and visual style. Our team is used to working on tight front gardens, shared crossovers and sloping approaches, especially around Maze Hill and Blackheath edges. If you’re comparing cobblestone driveways Greenwich area options, we’ll guide you on the right sett size, colour and jointing for your property. The result is a driveway that complements brickwork, railings and boundary walls rather than competing with them.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, sub-base depth, drainage routes and turning space, then provide a clear written specification. Installation includes proper excavation, compacted foundations, edging restraint and careful laying to keep lines true. For existing surfaces, our restoration service can lift and relay sunken areas, replace damaged setts and refresh joints. Homeowners choose us for tidy working, reliable timescales and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, many driveways sit on mixed ground with mature tree roots and variable levels, especially near parkland. We plan falls carefully and specify robust sub-bases to reduce settlement, then integrate drainage where required. Access and parking can be restricted on busier roads around Deptford and Charlton, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also match designs to local property styles, from formal Georgian frontages to contemporary riverside blocks.

Costs in Greenwich typically range from £160–£280 per m² for new cobblestone installation, depending on materials (natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block), ground conditions and drainage needs. More intricate traditional patterns, tighter curves and premium edging can increase labour time. Restoration is often lower, commonly £70–£150 per m², depending on how much lifting, re-bedding and re-jointing is required.
Most cobblestone driveway projects take around 5–10 working days, depending on size, access and whether excavation is straightforward. Larger driveways or those needing retaining edges, steps or extensive drainage can take 2–3 weeks. Restoration work is often quicker, sometimes 2–5 days, unless there are widespread dips or a failing sub-base. Weather and curing times for bedding and jointing can also affect the schedule.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, crossovers and changes to access. If the new surface is not permeable, you may need suitable drainage to a permeable area rather than the public sewer. Some properties near heritage settings may have additional constraints. We’ll check your site, advise on compliant drainage integration, and help you understand any Royal Borough of Greenwich requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobblestone driveways, covering issues such as settlement caused by installation faults, edging movement and jointing failure under normal domestic use. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we’ll advise on care to keep the surface looking its best. The warranty does not cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, accidental impact, or pre-existing drainage defects outside the driveway area.
Popular choices include natural cobbles for a softer, heritage look, granite setts for crisp lines and durability, and Belgian block for classic texture. Design options range from traditional fan or coursed patterns to cleaner modern layouts with contrasting borders. We can add edging in granite or stone, create thresholds at gates, and integrate drainage channels discreetly. We’ll bring samples and recommend colours and patterns that suit your frontage and parking needs.
