If parking is tight around Oval tube station and Kennington, a well-planned driveway makes daily life easier. Fine Landscaping designs and builds driveways that look right for SE11 streets and stand up to constant use. From clean-lined resin bound to traditional block paving, we match the finish to your property and budget. We can also incorporate drainage upgrades and practical access details from the outset.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact front gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working with narrow access, steps, vaults and existing brickwork that needs careful protection. Our driveway installation Oval area service focuses on sympathetic design, tidy edges and levels that work with your front path and entrance. The result is a driveway that feels intentional, not squeezed in.
We start with a site visit, levels survey and clear written specification, then prepare the sub-base to the correct depth for long-term stability. Every build includes considered drainage planning, with permeable options available to reduce surface water issues. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, and we keep the site clean and safe throughout. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Driveway installation in London Borough of Lambeth often means working around controlled parking, deliveries and limited on-street space. We plan waste removal, material drops and working hours to keep disruption down. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess existing make-up and specify the right sub-base and drainage. We also design with local streetscapes in mind, especially near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park.

Costs in SE11 vary by size, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin bound £110–£190 per m². Natural stone and complex drainage can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey and levels check.
Most driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to finish, depending on size and specification. Resin bound and block paving typically need more preparation and careful laying than gravel, while tarmac is quicker once the base is ready. Timescales can extend if access is restricted, if extra drainage is required, or if we’re coordinating a dropped kerb. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and the amount of impermeable surfacing in front gardens. In practice, using permeable materials (such as resin bound or permeable block paving) and directing water to suitable soakaway solutions helps compliance. Dropped kerbs require council approval and a licensed contractor. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you plan the right approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as sub-base failure, settlement due to poor preparation, and issues with edging or levels. Material warranties may also apply depending on the product chosen (for example, resin systems or paving blocks). The warranty is valid when the driveway is used normally and maintained as advised. All terms are confirmed in writing.
We install block paving (including permeable options), resin bound, tarmac, gravel, concrete and natural stone.

We’ll help you choose a finish that complements Georgian terraces and Victorian brickwork, and we’ll recommend the right drainage solution for your layout. Samples and layout drawings are available.
