A cobblestone driveway should look established from day one, while coping with daily parking and London weather. Around Holland Park and the Design Museum, we create driveways that complement brickwork, stucco and iron railings without feeling over-designed. From Belgian block aprons to granite sett parking bays, every layout is planned for clean lines and easy manoeuvring. We also integrate drainage so surfaces perform as well as they look.
Holland Park’s large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties often call for materials with heritage character and precise detailing. In W11 and W14, we regularly work with tight front gardens, basement lightwells and existing boundary walls that need careful protection. Our team matches patterns and tones to the architecture, whether you prefer a traditional fan, a running bond, or a sharper modern grid. The result is a driveway that feels appropriate to the street and adds long-term value.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear proposal covering excavation, sub-base build-up and drainage routing. Installation is carried out by experienced craftsmen with careful compaction, accurate falls and durable jointing for stability. If you’re upgrading an older surface, we can restore and re-lay existing setts where possible to retain character. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy working practices, dependable scheduling and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Front access in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can be restricted, with controlled parking and narrow approaches. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption and keep entrances usable. Many properties around Kensington and Notting Hill have mature trees and older drainage runs, so we survey levels and root zones before excavation. Our driveway build-ups are designed to manage runoff responsibly while protecting surrounding brickwork and boundaries.

Costs vary with stone choice, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide, cobblestone or sett driveways in the Holland Park area typically range from about £180–£350+ per m² supplied and installed. Belgian block and premium granite setts sit toward the higher end, especially with intricate patterns, steps or extensive edging. Restoration and re-laying can be cost-effective where existing materials are reusable, but still requires a sound sub-base.
Most installations take around 5–12 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small front drive may be completed within a week, while larger areas with multiple bays, edging, drainage channels and intricate patterns take longer. Timescales are also affected by excavation requirements, access for skips and deliveries, and curing time for bedding or jointing methods. We provide a clear programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it’s especially important to manage surface water correctly, typically by directing runoff to permeable areas or suitable drainage rather than the public highway. If your property is listed or within a designated area, additional consents may be needed. We check constraints and advise on compliant design before installation.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, edging failure and installation-related movement. The warranty applies when the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly, including keeping joints topped up where required. Natural stone itself is highly durable; any manufacturer guarantees on specific materials are also passed on where applicable. We’ll explain care and aftercare at handover.
We offer natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of tones to suit brick, stucco or stone façades. Popular designs include fan patterns, coursed setts, soldier borders, chequer detailing and clean modern grids with contrasting edging. We can also incorporate thresholds, drainage channels and matching pathways for a cohesive frontage. During the design stage, we bring samples and recommend sizes and patterns based on your property style and parking needs.
