If you’re upgrading parking or kerb appeal near Lordship Lane or around Peckham Rye, a well-built driveway makes everyday life simpler. Fine Landscaping installs driveways that suit East Dulwich streets and the way families use their front gardens. From smart block paving patterns to seamless resin bound finishes, we focus on structure as much as style. We also build in compliant drainage so puddles and runoff don’t become a problem.
The East Dulwich area is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact frontages and shared boundaries. We design layouts that maximise usable parking while keeping access clear for bins, bikes and prams. Edging details, levels and thresholds are set to complement original brickwork and garden walls. For homes near Dulwich Village and Herne Hill, we can match traditional character with natural stone or heritage-style blocks.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. We install the chosen surface, add drainage channels or permeable build-ups where needed, and finish with neat edging and tidy reinstatement. You’ll get straightforward communication, clean working practices and a job completed to a high standard. Local homeowners trust us because we build for longevity, not shortcuts, and we back our work with a 10-year warranty.
Driveway installation in London Borough of Southwark often involves tight access, controlled parking and careful waste removal planning. In SE22 we regularly work around narrow front paths, mature street trees and existing services, setting falls to protect neighbouring properties. We also consider Southwark’s surface-water requirements, recommending permeable resin bound or permeable block paving where appropriate. If a dropped kerb is needed, we can advise on the typical process and requirements.

Costs vary by size, excavation needs and the finish you choose. As a guide in SE22, gravel is often around £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£150 per m², block paving £120–£220 per m², and resin bound £130–£250 per m². Natural stone and complex edging can be higher. Drainage works, steps, walls or lighting can also affect the total.
Most projects take around 3–7 working days, depending on area size and the build-up required. A straightforward tarmac or gravel driveway can be quicker, while block paving, resin bound, or natural stone with detailed edging typically takes longer. Timescales can also change if we’re adding drainage, adjusting levels near the house, or working with restricted access and parking in the driveway installation east dulwich area.
Many front-garden driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply—especially around surface-water drainage. In general, new or replacement driveways over 5m² should be permeable or drain to a permeable area within your boundary, rather than the public sewer. Dropped kerbs require approval from the relevant highways authority. We’ll advise on compliant options and flag any permissions needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor edging restraint, or installation defects. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or paving products). The warranty doesn’t cover damage from vehicle overloading, ground movement outside our control, or unauthorised alterations, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We install block paving (including herringbone and borders), resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, tarmac for a clean, durable surface, gravel for a traditional look, poured concrete, and natural stone for premium kerb appeal. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, and patterns that suit your home’s style and frontage size. We also design for practical turning space, bin access, and integrated drainage where required.
