Kingston upon Thames suits cobbles perfectly: a historic market town feel with a smart riverside setting. We design and install driveways that look at home near Kingston Bridge and around Surbiton, while standing up to daily parking. Choose natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block for a surface that ages beautifully. Every layout is planned to complement your property and improve kerb appeal.
Our team regularly works across KT1 and KT2, where front gardens vary from compact town plots to wider villa driveways. Victorian villas and Edwardian houses often benefit from traditional patterns that match brickwork and boundary walls. For modern waterfront apartments and newer builds, we create cleaner lines with precise edging and contemporary setts. The result is a driveway that feels intentional, not “added on”.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear design proposal, then build a proper sub-base for long-term stability. Drainage integration is planned from the outset to help manage surface water responsibly. Work is kept tidy and well-organised, with clear timelines and regular updates. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
In the cobblestone driveways Kingston upon Thames area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and older frontages with existing brick or concrete to remove. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking carefully. We also design to suit the varied streetscape, from period homes to newer developments, and we’ll advise on drainage approaches that align with local expectations. If any permissions or constraints apply, we flag them early and keep the job moving.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and the type of cobbles or setts chosen. As a guide, installed cobblestone or granite sett driveways commonly range from around £150–£250 per m², with premium stones and complex patterns sometimes higher. Edging, drainage channels, steps, lighting ducts and removal of existing surfaces can affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most installations take 5–10 working days, depending on driveway size and whether excavation and spoil removal are straightforward. Complex traditional patterns, tight access, extensive edging, or significant level changes can extend the programme. Weather can also affect groundworks and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying the site and will keep you updated if anything changes once we start.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access (dropped kerbs). The key is ensuring water drains to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the public highway. We’ll discuss your property’s situation, recommend compliant drainage integration, and advise if you should check with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or seek formal approval.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including the stability of the sub-base, correct installation of edging, and issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation. Natural stone itself is highly durable, and we install it to minimise movement and maintain levels. The warranty excludes damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement beyond our control, or alterations by third parties. Maintenance guidance is included to protect your finish.
We offer natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of tones to suit brickwork, render or stone façades.
