Westminster streetscapes demand materials that look established, not newly “installed”. Our cobblestone driveways complement properties around Victoria and Pimlico, where façades and front gardens are closely scrutinised. We design layouts that sit comfortably alongside the architecture near Westminster Abbey and the wider SW1 area. Expect clean lines, accurate levels and a finish that improves with age.
In the City of Westminster, we regularly work on Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments with limited frontage and shared access. These properties often need elegant solutions for tight turning circles, basement lightwells and existing steps. We specify setts and cobbles that match the building’s tone—traditional where appropriate, sharper modern layouts for contemporary refurbishments. Every driveway is planned to look proportionate from the street and practical for everyday parking.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage plan, then provide a clear written specification before work begins. Sub-bases are built to handle vehicle loads, and joints are finished for stability and easy maintenance. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption, with tidy handovers and aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Westminster projects often involve restricted access, controlled parking, and careful scheduling for deliveries and waste removal. We plan logistics around SW1 constraints and protect neighbouring thresholds, railings and paving. Ground build-ups vary, so we verify levels against doorways and pavement falls to avoid water tracking back to the property. Where required, we align drainage solutions with local expectations and best practice.

Costs in Westminster typically range from about £180–£350 per m², depending on the stone type (natural cobbles, granite setts or Belgian block), pattern complexity and site access. Restoration and re-laying can be lower, often £90–£200 per m², if the existing stone is reusable. Excavation depth, drainage integration and edging details also affect the final figure. We provide a measured quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 5–12 working days, depending on size, excavation requirements and the chosen pattern. A small front parking bay may be completed in under a week, while larger areas with steps, curves or extensive drainage can take longer. Weather, access restrictions and curing time for bedding materials can also influence programme. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can change based on conservation areas, listed buildings and how surface water is managed. In the City of Westminster, drainage is a common consideration, especially if you’re altering levels or directing water towards the highway. We design with permeable options or compliant drainage where needed and can advise on whether you should check with the council before starting.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our cobblestone driveway installations, covering workmanship such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, and issues arising from incorrect laying. Materials are covered according to the manufacturer or supplier terms. The warranty assumes normal domestic vehicle use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain aftercare to help the finish stay stable and attractive.
We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in both traditional patterns (fans, coursed setts, cobble borders) and modern layouts with cleaner lines. Edging options include contrasting setts, kerb stones or subtle soldier courses for definition. We’ll help you choose colours and sizes that suit your brickwork and railings, then set out samples on site so you can approve the look before laying begins.
