From match-day traffic near Twickenham Stadium to quieter roads by Marble Hill Park, a well-built cobbled drive needs strength as well as style. We design and install cobblestone driveways that look authentic and perform in all weather. Expect clean lines, accurate levels and a finish that complements brickwork and garden walls. We cover TW1 and TW2, including St Margarets and Whitton.
Twickenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes often suit setts and cobbles far better than flat paving. Traditional fan patterns can echo period detailing, while modern layouts give a sharper, contemporary look for updated front gardens. We also restore tired surfaces where cobbles have sunk, spread or lost their jointing. If your entrance is narrow or shared, we plan the build to keep access practical throughout.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then a detailed specification for the sub-base, bedding and jointing. We install robust edging, integrate channels or permeable detailing where needed, and finish with a surface that’s stable under turning wheels. Work is scheduled clearly, kept tidy, and completed to a consistent standard. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, skilled workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we often work around narrow drive entrances, controlled parking zones and busy school-run streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we build up a properly compacted sub-base and set accurate falls to drainage points. For properties near York House or along older roads, we match materials and patterns to the architecture. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption to neighbours.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Twickenham typically range from about £160–£280 per m², depending on the cobble type (natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block), pattern complexity, edging and drainage requirements. Restoration work is often £60–£140 per m² where the sub-base is sound, but can rise if sections need rebuilding. Access, spoil removal and any steps or retaining edges also affect the overall budget.
Most installations take around 5–10 working days for an average front drive, including excavation, sub-base build-up, edging, laying, jointing and final clean-down. Larger driveways or intricate traditional patterns can extend to 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of groundwork, drainage integration, and weather—particularly during heavy rain when excavation and compaction may need pauses.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re altering access, working near a highway, or managing surface water runoff. Using permeable construction or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often required rather than draining to the street. Conservation areas and listed buildings can add extra constraints in parts of Twickenham. We check the site specifics and advise what approvals, if any, are needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and the laid surface staying structurally sound under normal residential use. It also covers issues arising from incorrect falls or poor compaction. Natural material variation and general wear are not defects, and damage from heavy commercial vehicles or ground movement outside the build area may be excluded. We explain the warranty clearly in writing.
Popular options include natural cobbles for a softer, aged look, granite setts for crisp lines and durability, and Belgian block for a classic, formal finish. Design choices range from traditional fan and stretcher patterns to modern linear layouts with contrasting borders. We can add soldier-course edging, kerb detailing, and discreet drainage channels. We’ll recommend sizes and colours that suit your brickwork, boundary walls and the style of your home.
