A well-built driveway should look right for the street and cope with daily parking without rutting or puddling. Our team designs and installs block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways across Richmond, including routes near Richmond Green and TW10. We also take on driveway repairs, drainage upgrades and dropped kerbs to make access safer and more practical. Every job is finished with clean edges, tidy levels and a clear handover.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often need a driveway that complements brickwork, railings and mature planting. We regularly work in Kew, Petersham and Twickenham where frontage space can be tight and detailing matters. From sympathetic colour choices to discreet drainage, we aim for a result that feels original to the property. If your entrance has settled, cracked or become uneven, we can repair and re-lay sections without unnecessary upheaval.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sub-base depth, existing services and water run-off. You’ll receive a clear written scope covering excavation, waste removal, edging, drainage solutions and the chosen surface. Our installers work to robust build-ups, compacting in layers to reduce future movement and standing water. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As driveway contractors Richmond area homeowners rely on, we account for narrow access, controlled parking and busy roads near Richmond Bridge. In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, surface water rules and permeable options can matter, so we advise on resin-bound or permeable block paving where appropriate. We also plan levels carefully for sloping frontages and mature tree roots common near Richmond Park. Materials and edging details are chosen to suit the area’s high-value streetscapes.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and drainage needs. As a guide in Richmond, gravel driveways often start around £70–£120 per m², tarmac around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £120–£200 per m², and resin-bound around £130–£220 per m². Concrete is typically £100–£170 per m². Repairs can range from a few hundred pounds to several thousand for larger re-lays.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen surface. Block paving and resin-bound systems can take longer if extensive excavation, edging and drainage are required. Weather, access for machinery, and curing times (especially for concrete) can extend the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying levels, sub-base condition and any dropped kerb or council coordination needed.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules often focus on surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway over 5m², you’ll usually need a permeable surface or drainage to a soakaway, not the public highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and a compliant contractor process. We check requirements for your property, advise on permeable options, and help ensure the design meets local guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement due to installation, and edging movement where installed by us. Surface materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, vehicle overloading, or poor maintenance (for example, oil staining). We’ll explain care requirements and provide aftercare advice at handover.
Richmond homeowners often choose block paving with charcoal borders, resin-bound gravel for a clean, permeable finish, or tarmac with smart edging for a classic look. For period properties, we can specify complementary tones and traditional laying patterns, while riverside homes may benefit from robust drainage detailing. We’ll help you compare slip resistance, permeability, maintenance and kerb appeal, then produce a layout that fits parking needs and the property’s frontage.
