Fine Landscaping delivers high-quality driveway installations and repairs across CR7, with quick access from our Norbury base. Whether you’re near Thornton Heath station or walking distance to Grangewood Park, we design driveways that look smart and park well. From full replacements to patching and resurfacing, we keep disruption low and finishes crisp. Expect clear advice, tidy working, and a driveway that suits your frontage.
Thornton Heath’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have short front gardens and shared boundaries, so layout matters. We plan practical turning space, drainage and edging so the driveway works every day, not just on day one. If your property sits on a slope or has limited access, we’ll recommend the right build-up and surface. Homeowners across Broad Green and Selhurst appreciate a finish that complements brickwork and period details.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a written quote, then agree the design, levels and drainage before any digging begins. Our team handles excavation, sub-base, compaction and edging properly, because that’s what prevents dips and cracking later. We protect paths and neighbouring boundaries, keep the site safe, and clean up at the end of each day. Every new driveway comes with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Working across the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to tight frontages, on-street parking and timed deliveries. Ground conditions can vary between streets, so we tailor excavation depth and sub-base type to suit the site. We also plan access so you can still get in and out where possible. If drainage or crossings need extra checks, we’ll flag it early and guide you through the next steps.

For driveways in Thornton Heath, budgets typically sit between £50 and £120 per square metre depending on the surface and groundwork. Many homeowners in CR7 spend around £2,000–£6,000 for a standard front drive, with resin and block paving usually at the higher end. Costs vary with excavation depth, waste removal, edging, drainage and access constraints. We’ll survey and provide an itemised quote.
Most driveway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on size and material. Tarmac can be quicker once the base is prepared, while block paving and detailed edging can take longer. Weather, restricted access, and any drainage upgrades can also affect timescales. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated day by day so you know what to expect.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage, dropped kerbs and properties with restrictions. In general, using a permeable surface (or directing water to a suitable soakaway) helps meet requirements. If you’re considering a new vehicle crossover, you may need approval from the relevant highway authority. We’ll advise on compliant options and highlight any checks needed before work begins.
Yes. Our new driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation. It also covers problems linked to edging stability and general construction faults, provided the driveway is used normally and maintained sensibly. Surface wear, staining, and damage from heavy vehicles beyond design limits are not typically covered. We’ll explain the warranty clearly in writing.
We install tarmac, concrete, gravel, block paved and resin driveways, plus targeted driveway repairs. Popular choices locally include resin for a clean, modern look, and block paving to suit Victorian and Edwardian frontages. We can add contrasting borders, step details, and practical features like recessed drainage channels where needed. During the survey we’ll discuss colour, texture, permeability and maintenance so you choose a finish that fits your home and budget.
