If you’re planning off-street parking near Carshalton Ponds or along routes towards Carshalton Beeches, a properly installed pavement crossover makes daily access easier and safer. Fine Landscaping delivers compliant dropped kerb installations designed to suit your frontage and existing driveway. We manage the practicalities, from kerb removal and new edging to tidy reinstatement of the footway. Work is organised to minimise disruption to neighbours and pedestrians.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, period properties and 1930s semis often comes with short front gardens, mature boundaries and narrow approaches. That means levels, drainage falls and visibility need careful planning before any kerb is altered. We regularly work across the SM5 postcode and understand how different plot layouts affect crossover widths and turning space. Our recommendations are tailored to your property, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and guidance on the most suitable crossover position. We can take care of full permits and council applications, then schedule the installation once approvals are in place. The team installs to specification, reinstates the pavement neatly and leaves the area clean and safe. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, compliant workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, inspections and specifications can be strict, so paperwork and build details matter. In Carshalton, we often encounter mature street trees, variable verge construction and tight parking, which affects access and staging. We plan deliveries, pedestrian management and reinstatement to keep footways usable. If your frontage sits on a slope or has older paving, we adjust levels and drainage falls to suit.

Most dropped kerbs carshalton area projects fall between £800 and £2,500, depending on crossover width, existing footway construction and reinstatement requirements. Typical costs are £1,200–£1,800 for a standard domestic crossover. Prices can rise if there’s additional excavation, complex levels, drainage adjustments, or if the council specification requires extra materials. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Installation usually takes 1–2 days on site for most domestic crossovers. Timing depends on the crossover width, how much existing paving needs lifting, and whether additional reinstatement is required for the footway or verge. Access constraints, parked cars and weather can also slow progress. Council approval and booking inspections can add lead time before work starts, which we’ll explain upfront.
Yes—because the pavement and kerb are part of the public highway, dropped kerbs in London Borough of Sutton normally require council approval and must be installed to their specification. Many driveway and garden changes may be permitted development, but the crossover itself is controlled. We help you understand what’s required, prepare the application details, and ensure the finished work meets compliance and inspection expectations.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement, movement and failures linked to how the crossover is constructed. It also includes the integrity of reinstatement where we have carried out the work. The warranty does not cover damage from vehicle impacts, utility works by third parties, or pre-existing ground problems outside the agreed scope. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
Options are guided by council specification, but there’s still flexibility in how the crossover ties into your driveway. Common choices include concrete or block-paved reinstatement to match existing footway patterns, and edging details that align with your driveway entrance. We’ll advise on crossover width, kerb profiles and surface finishes so the transition looks intentional and works for your vehicle. Samples and photos can be provided during planning.
