Chelsea streets demand driveways that look exceptional and perform in all weather. From King’s Road properties to homes near Stamford Bridge, we install surfaces that suit the architecture and daily parking needs. Fine Landscaping delivers high-end finishes in block paving, resin bound, tarmac, gravel, concrete and natural stone. Every build includes the right falls and drainage to protect your frontage.
We regularly work across SW3 and SW10, including South Kensington and Knightsbridge, where space, access and presentation matter. Georgian townhouses often need sympathetic edging and period-appropriate setts, while Victorian mansions benefit from wider turning areas and stronger sub-bases. Luxury apartments typically require crisp shared entrances with clear bays and durable surfacing. Our designs balance aesthetics, vehicle loads and practical maintenance.
Your project starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification. We excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted sub-base, then lay your chosen surface with neat restraints and tested drainage. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handover and aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Driveway installation in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often involves controlled parking zones, narrow frontages and limited skip placement. We plan deliveries, waste removal and access around local restrictions and neighbour considerations. Many Chelsea properties have older boundary walls and basement levels, so we take extra care with excavation depths, falls and drainage routes. Where required, we can help coordinate dropped kerbs and ensure the entrance works safely with the pavement.

Costs vary by size, access and the build-up required. As a guide, gravel typically starts around £70–£110 per m², tarmac around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £120–£200 per m², and resin bound around £110–£180 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage details can push higher. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, waste removal and kerb requirements.
Most Chelsea driveway projects take 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and material. Resin bound and block paving can take longer if edging, steps or intricate patterns are included. Timescales are also affected by access for machinery, waste collection arrangements and any drainage upgrades. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated if weather or curing times change.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating or altering a vehicle crossover, a dropped kerb usually needs council approval and an approved contractor process. Conservation areas and listed buildings may have extra constraints on materials and boundary changes. We’ll advise what’s likely required and help you check permissions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or defective installation of edging and falls. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. You’ll also receive care advice to keep the surface performing well.
We offer block paving (including herringbone and contrasting borders), resin bound for a smooth contemporary finish, tarmac for clean practicality, and gravel for a classic look with stabilisation options. Concrete can be finished for durability, while natural stone setts and flags suit period Chelsea façades. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, lighting-ready ducting and drainage details to match your property and parking needs.
