If you’re upgrading parking outside a Victorian terrace near Brockley Market or improving access around Hilly Fields, a well-built driveway changes how your home works day to day. Fine Landscaping designs and installs driveways that look sharp, drain correctly and stand up to daily use. Choose from block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel or concrete, with repairs available for tired surfaces. We also handle dropped kerbs and drainage where required.
Brockley’s streets feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with compact front gardens and shared boundaries. We plan layouts that maximise usable parking without overpowering the frontage, keeping lines neat and finishes sympathetic to period brickwork. For homeowners in Honor Oak, Crofton Park and New Cross, we tailor edging, levels and thresholds to suit older steps and bay windows. The result is a driveway that feels original to the property, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base, edging and drainage. We protect pathways, keep access safe, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Every installation is built to current best practice for load-bearing and water management, with quality materials throughout. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and stand behind our work.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, front gardens can be tight and parking controls can affect deliveries and skip placement. We plan access and phasing to minimise disruption on residential streets around SE4. Ground conditions vary, so we adjust sub-base depth and drainage details to prevent rutting and puddling. We also design falls carefully to keep water away from thresholds and neighbouring boundaries.

Costs depend on size, excavation, access and the surface you choose. As a guide in Brockley, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac around £90–£150 per m², block paving around £120–£200 per m², and resin-bound around £120–£220 per m². Concrete is typically £100–£180 per m². Repairs and drainage are priced after inspection.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward tarmac or gravel driveway can be quicker, while block paving and resin systems may take longer due to edging, curing times and detailed laying. Timescales also change with access for machinery, removal of spoil, and whether drainage channels or a dropped kerb are included. We provide a realistic schedule before work starts.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules often apply to surface water. If you’re creating or replacing a front driveway over 5m², you typically need a permeable surface or drainage to a suitable area, not the public sewer. Dropped kerbs and crossovers usually require council approval and inspections. We’ll advise on compliant materials and falls, and help you understand what permissions are needed before starting.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging and installation-related defects. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from tree roots, heavy vehicles beyond design load, or accidental impact. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your driveway stays in top condition.
Block paving is popular for Victorian and Edwardian frontages, with herringbone patterns and contrasting soldier-course borders. Resin-bound suits homeowners wanting a smooth, modern finish with excellent permeability. Tarmac is a durable, cost-effective option, often paired with brick or granite edging for a smarter look. Gravel works well for a softer, traditional feel with stabilisation grids. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and drainage that suit your home and budget.
