If you’re creating or improving a driveway near Morden station or around Morden Park, a properly installed pavement crossover is essential. Our dropped kerb service covers the full job, from council applications through to kerb installation and reinstatement. We focus on neat edges, correct levels and safe transitions from road to drive. The result is practical access that looks right outside your home.
Morden’s SM4 streets include plenty of 1930s semis with short front gardens, plus post-war estates and newer developments with tighter parking layouts. We design crossovers to suit typical vehicle sizes and turning angles, while keeping drainage and thresholds in mind. Where space is limited, we plan the approach carefully so you can use the drive comfortably. You’ll get a finish that complements your paving and frontage.
Fine Landscaping manages the process end-to-end: site visit, measurements, specification, permits, installation and final tidy-up. We work to current standards and ensure compliance, so you’re not left chasing paperwork or dealing with rework. Our team protects surrounding surfaces and keeps disruption low, with clear start dates and realistic timescales. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Merton, crossover requirements and inspections can be strict, so we prepare specifications and evidence that match expectations. In Morden Park, St Helier and Lower Morden, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and work phases to keep the street moving. We also account for typical front garden levels and existing paving, ensuring falls and thresholds work with your property. That local experience helps projects run smoothly from application to sign-off.

For dropped kerbs in the Morden area, most homeowners budget £800–£2,500 depending on crossover width, existing pavement construction and how much reinstatement is needed. A typical project commonly falls around £1,200–£1,800 where access is straightforward and the kerb line is standard. Costs can rise if there are additional permissions, deeper excavation, or complex levels to achieve a safe gradient.
Most installations take 1–2 days on site, once approvals are in place and a start date is booked. The exact duration depends on crossover width, the condition of the existing footway, and whether additional excavation or reinstatement is required. Access constraints on narrower roads can also affect sequencing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after a site visit and keep you updated throughout.
A dropped kerb (pavement crossover) typically requires permission from the highway authority, even if your driveway or front garden works may be permitted development. In the London Borough of Merton, you’ll usually need an approved application and works completed to the required standard. We can manage the council application process, provide the right details, and ensure the installation is compliant to help avoid delays or enforcement later.
Yes. Our dropped kerb installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including kerb alignment, levels, and reinstatement integrity when used as intended. If any issues arise due to installation faults, we’ll return to inspect and put things right. The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by heavy vehicles beyond design use, accidental impact, or unrelated ground movement, but we’ll always advise on best practice.
Options depend on council specification and the existing footway, but common choices include different kerb profiles, crossover widths, and matching reinstatement finishes to suit your frontage. We can also coordinate the crossover design with your driveway materials, such as block paving or permeable systems, so the transition looks intentional. We’ll recommend the best layout for turning space, drainage falls and everyday usability before work begins.
