If parking is tight or your frontage is tired, a new driveway can transform how your home works day to day. We install premium driveways across CR2, with projects regularly completed near South Croydon station and around Lloyd Park. From clean modern resin to traditional block paving, we build surfaces that look sharp and cope with British weather. Every installation starts with solid groundwork and careful levels for a crisp finish.
South Croydon is known for leafy streets, excellent schools and generous plots, so driveways often need to complement the architecture. We regularly work on large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas in Sanderstead, Selsdon and Purley. Many front gardens have slopes, mature trees or existing walls that need protecting during access. Our designs balance turning space, planting, bins and pathways so the frontage feels considered rather than over-paved.
Our process covers survey, design, excavation, sub-base installation, edging, laying and final compaction, with drainage planned from the outset. We can also arrange dropped kerbs and help coordinate access so disruption stays minimal. Homeowners choose us for neat workmanship, clear communication and reliable scheduling. Every driveway is finished to a standard we’re happy to put our name to, backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the driveway installation South Croydon area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions, slopes and mature root zones near woodland edges such as Croham Hurst Woods. Narrower roads and on-street parking can affect deliveries, so we plan skips, access and work phases carefully. We also design with local rainfall in mind, incorporating permeable surfaces or channel drains where needed. For driveway installation in London Borough of Croydon, we help you stay aligned with SUDS guidance and any crossover requirements.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and material choice. As a guide, gravel is often £60–£110 per m², tarmac £80–£140 per m², block paving £110–£180 per m², and resin bound £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and high-end detailing can be £180–£300+ per m². Drainage, edgings and waste removal can affect the final figure, so we survey first.
Most domestic driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Resin bound and block paving can take longer if extensive groundworks, edging or drainage is required. Weather, access for machinery, and curing times (especially for concrete) also influence the schedule. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and vehicle crossovers. If you’re creating a new access over the pavement, a dropped kerb (crossover) typically needs council approval and an authorised contractor. Using permeable paving or directing runoff to a soakaway usually helps meet SUDS requirements. We’ll advise what’s needed for your property and check constraints before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels leading to avoidable ponding. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and any product warranties are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicle use on domestic builds, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give aftercare advice to protect your finish.
We install block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a smooth permeable finish, and durable tarmac for clean, practical parking. Gravel suits traditional homes and can be paired with stabilisation grids, while concrete and natural stone offer a more architectural look. We can add contrasting borders, steps, lighting conduits, and drainage channels. We’ll recommend options that suit your house style, usage and maintenance preferences.
