A cobbled driveway adds instant presence to properties across CR2, from the roads near South Croydon station to the greener edges by Lloyd Park. Fine Landscaping installs natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block with crisp lines and a comfortable, stable surface. Whether you want a classic fan pattern or a contemporary coursed layout, we design it to suit your frontage. Every build includes proper edging and levels for a clean, intentional look.
South Croydon’s leafy streets feature large detached houses, 1930s semis and elegant Victorian villas, each needing a slightly different approach to scale and detailing. We regularly create entrances that complement period brickwork, bay windows and generous garden boundaries in Sanderstead, Purley and wider Croydon. For larger plots, we can incorporate turning circles and discreet parking bays without losing the traditional feel. If you already have setts in place, our restoration service can lift, re-lay and refresh tired areas.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and clear recommendations for sub-base, falls and drainage integration. We prepare the ground properly, install robust foundations, then lay and joint the cobbles for long-term performance. You’ll get a tidy site, clear timelines and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for consistent finishing, honest advice and reliable aftercare.
We’re used to access constraints, on-street parking and sloping front gardens common around South Croydon and CR2. Ground conditions and levels vary, so we design falls carefully and integrate compliant drainage where required. Our layouts consider vehicle turning, bin access and safe thresholds to garages and paths. If council guidance affects drainage or crossovers, we’ll flag it early and plan accordingly.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and the type of stone. As a guide, professionally installed cobbles or granite setts in the South Croydon area often range from about £180–£350 per m², including a proper sub-base. Edging, steps, lighting ducts, and drainage integration can add to the total. Restoration and re-laying can be more cost-effective, typically from £120–£220 per m² depending on condition.
Most installations take around 5–12 working days, depending on driveway size and the amount of excavation required. Complex patterns, multiple levels, or extensive edging can extend the programme. Access in residential streets, waste removal, and curing time for bedding/jointing materials also affect duration. We’ll provide a clear schedule after the survey, including when you can safely park on the new surface.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and how surface water is managed. If you’re creating a new or enlarged driveway, you may need a permeable solution or drainage directed to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. Listed buildings and conservation areas can add constraints. We’ll advise during the survey and help you understand any permissions needed before work starts.
