A well-built driveway changes how your home looks and how it works day to day, from parking to bin access. We deliver tailored driveway installation across Richmond, including TW9 and TW10. Whether you’re close to Richmond Green or commuting via Richmond Bridge, we design surfaces that handle traffic, rain and regular use. Expect clean lines, crisp edging and a finish that complements your frontage.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often come with tight front gardens, mature planting and established boundary walls. In Kew and Petersham, we regularly see sloping approaches and heritage-style detailing that benefits from sympathetic materials. We match patterns, colours and edging to suit period brickwork and traditional railings. Where space is limited, we plan turning areas and thresholds to make parking easier without sacrificing style.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and clear recommendations on the best build-up for your chosen surface. We excavate correctly, install a stable sub-base, and include drainage solutions to manage surface water responsibly. Dropped kerbs can be arranged where required, and we coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption. Every installation is finished to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, access can be restricted by narrow roads, controlled parking and mature street trees. We plan waste removal, deliveries and working hours to keep neighbours and traffic moving. Ground conditions vary near the river, so we pay close attention to levels, compaction and drainage falls. For homes near Richmond Park or Ham, we also design to protect roots and reduce surface water run-off.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel is often around £70–£120 per m², tarmac £90–£150 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin bound £130–£220 per m². Natural stone and high-end detailing can be higher. We provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit in the Richmond area.
Most projects take 3–7 working days, depending on area, ground conditions and the surface type. A small gravel drive can be quicker, while block paving or natural stone with steps, edging and drainage channels may take longer. Resin bound typically needs a stable base and good weather for laying. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
Many driveway works fall under permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and materials. If you’re creating a new hard surface over 5m², it usually needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable area, not the public highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval. We advise on compliance and can help you prepare information for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or faulty edging installation. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards and may include their own product guarantees. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give care guidance to help your new surface last.
We install block paving in a range of patterns, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, tarmac for durability, and gravel for a classic look with strong edging. Concrete and natural stone are ideal for crisp modern schemes or traditional period settings. We can add drainage channels, contrasting borders, steps and lighting-ready ducting. During the survey, we recommend colours and textures that suit your façade and frontage.
