Fine Landscaping delivers high-quality driveway installations and repairs across Oval, SE11. Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Oval tube station, we design driveways that suit the street and improve day-to-day parking. From neat block paving to durable tarmac, every surface is built for London traffic and weather. We also resolve common issues such as pooling water, loose edging and failed sub-bases.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact front gardens, shared access points and strict sightlines to the street. We plan layouts that maximise usable parking without overwhelming period façades, keeping levels, steps and thresholds practical. For homes around Kennington and Vauxhall, we regularly incorporate subtle drainage solutions to protect basements and lower ground floors. Our finishes are chosen to complement brickwork, railings and boundary walls typical of the area.
We start with a site survey, discuss materials and patterns, then provide a clear written quotation and programme. Groundworks are carried out properly: excavation, sub-base, compaction, edging, falls and drainage before the final surface goes down. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish that looks sharp from day one. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium detailing and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
As driveway contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we’re used to tight access, controlled parking and busy roads around Kennington Park and SE11. Many frontages need careful level management to protect thresholds and air bricks, especially on period terraces. We design permeable options where suitable and install drainage channels or soakaways when runoff is a risk. Deliveries, waste removal and working hours are planned to minimise disruption on residential streets.

Costs in Oval vary by size, access and groundwork requirements. As a guide, gravel driveways often start around £60–£110 per m², tarmac roughly £80–£140 per m², block paving about £110–£180 per m², and resin-bound typically £120–£200 per m². Concrete can range from £90–£160 per m² depending on finish. Repairs and drainage works are priced after inspection.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation depth and the chosen surface. A small front garden in Oval may be completed in 2–4 days, while larger or more complex block paving patterns can take a week or more. Timescales also change if a dropped kerb is involved, if drainage needs upgrading, or if access/parking restrictions affect deliveries and waste removal.
Many driveway projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, listed buildings or conservation considerations. In Lambeth, using a permeable surface (or directing runoff to a suitable permeable area) is often key to staying compliant. Dropped kerbs always require council approval and the correct contractor process. We’ll advise on the likely requirements, check constraints, and help you plan the driveway to meet local regulations.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as sub-base failure, poor compaction, or incorrect levels and falls. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties depending on the product used (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work starts.
For Oval’s period properties, block paving in charcoal, brindle or mixed tones is popular, often laid in herringbone with a contrasting border. Resin-bound surfaces suit homeowners wanting a smooth, modern finish with good permeability, while tarmac offers a clean, practical look for frequent vehicle use. Gravel works well for lighter traffic and traditional façades, especially with solid edging. We’ll recommend options based on drainage needs, maintenance preferences and kerb appeal.
