A well-built driveway should look right for the street, drain correctly, and stand up to daily use. Our team delivers tailored driveway installation for Holland Park homeowners, with finishes that suit everything from classic façades to contemporary updates. We regularly work around Holland Park and near the Design Museum, where access and presentation matter. We can also coordinate drainage, edging and dropped kerbs as part of one clear plan.
Holland Park features large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties where kerb appeal is non-negotiable. Many homes have front gardens that need careful levels management to avoid water running towards steps or basements. We design driveways that respect original detailing while improving parking and approach. If you’re in W11 or W14, we’ll recommend materials and patterns that suit your property and the wider streetscape.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels survey and a written specification covering excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage. We install to high standards using quality aggregates and proven laying methods, then finish with clean edges and crisp transitions to paths and thresholds. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy working practices and transparent communication from start to sign-off. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means tighter access, controlled parking, and neighbours close by. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, especially on streets near Kensington, Notting Hill and Shepherd's Bush. Ground levels and existing front garden layouts can be complex, so we prioritise falls, channels and permeable options where appropriate. Our driveway installation Holland Park area service is set up to handle these practicalities smoothly.

Costs vary by size, excavation needs, access and finish. As a guide, gravel is often from £70–£120 per m², tarmac from £90–£140 per m², and block paving from £120–£200 per m². Resin bound typically starts around £120–£180 per m², while natural stone can be £180–£300+ per m². Drainage, steps, lighting ducts and dropped kerb works will affect the total.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days, depending on size and the chosen surface. Block paving and natural stone usually take longer due to the laying and cutting, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared. Timescales can extend if we’re improving drainage, rebuilding retaining edges, or coordinating a dropped kerb. Weather, access for machinery, and curing times for concrete or resin also play a part.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and materials. Front garden paving over 5m² usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property, rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor process. We’ll advise on compliant options and help you navigate requirements so your driveway installation in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is done correctly.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on the driveway structure and installation, including sub-base preparation, laying and edging. It’s designed to protect you against issues caused by installation faults, such as settlement from inadequate base build or poor jointing. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before work starts and provide care guidance after completion.
For period properties, block paving with a traditional edge course or natural stone setts can look excellent, while resin bound offers a clean, contemporary finish with good permeability. Tarmac suits understated, durable driveways and pairs well with stone borders, and gravel remains a flexible option for character homes. We help you choose colours, patterns, edging and drainage details to match your façade and gates, and to suit everyday parking and turning needs.
