Marylebone’s streets around Marylebone High Street and Baker Street call for paving that looks established, not newly laid. Our cobblestone driveways marylebone area service combines traditional patterns with clean modern layouts, depending on the frontage and architecture. Choose natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block to create a driveway that complements brickwork, iron railings and stone steps. We also integrate edging and drainage so the finish performs as well as it looks.
In W1, we regularly work on Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks with forecourt parking, and period conversions with tight access. These properties benefit from setts that visually soften hard landscaping while remaining durable under daily traffic. We match joint widths, levels and detailing to suit existing kerbs, thresholds and basement lightwells. For clients near Regent’s Park and Fitzrovia, we often specify quieter, flatter setts where pedestrian comfort matters.
Every project starts with a site visit to assess levels, sub-base condition and water run-off, then we provide a clear written specification. Our team prepares a robust foundation, lays setts accurately, and finishes with appropriate jointing for longevity. If you have an existing surface, we can restore and re-lay salvaged stone to retain character. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 45 minutes away, and we’re trusted for tidy working, reliable scheduling and consistent workmanship.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning for controlled parking, timed deliveries and narrow mews access. We frequently manage spoil removal and materials drop-offs to minimise disruption in W1. Many Marylebone frontages have basement lightwells and tight thresholds, so we set levels carefully to protect entrances and improve run-off. We also specify permeable or compliant drainage solutions where required for front-garden parking areas.

Costs in Marylebone vary with stone choice, access and ground preparation. As a guide, cobblestone or granite sett driveways often start around £180–£300 per m² for supply and installation, with premium setts, intricate patterns, edging and drainage pushing higher. Restoration and re-laying can be more economical if the stone is reusable, but allowance is needed for lifting, cleaning and sub-base repairs. We provide itemised estimates after a survey.
Most cobblestone driveway installations take 5–12 working days, depending on size, excavation depth and the pattern complexity. Time increases if we’re integrating drainage channels, rebuilding steps/thresholds, or working around restricted access common in W1. Weather can affect curing and jointing, and parking suspensions may influence delivery windows. After the site visit, we’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway and front-garden hardstanding projects are permitted development, but rules can apply in the City of Westminster, especially for listed buildings, conservation areas and changes affecting the front elevation. Surface water compliance is also important; impermeable paving may require drainage to a permeable area rather than the highway. We’ll advise on likely requirements, recommend compliant drainage integration, and can support you with information for any checks you choose to make.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or workmanship-related movement. Natural stone itself is highly durable, and we’ll specify suitable jointing and sealing options where appropriate. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle loads beyond design, or problems caused by third-party alterations or poor drainage outside the project scope.
We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of colours and sizes, from flatter sawn setts to more rustic tumbled finishes. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, basketweave, and mixed-size traditional patterns, with contrasting edging to frame the driveway. We’ll help you choose a layout that suits your property style, manages levels cleanly, and works with drainage integration and any restoration goals.
