Coulsdon homeowners love granite for its crisp lines, natural sparkle and hard-wearing finish. Whether you’re near Farthing Downs or heading through Old Coulsdon, we design paving that suits both countryside-facing gardens and smarter frontages. From compact paths to full driveways, we install granite setts and granite slabs with clean edges and strong falls. The result is a surface that drains properly and stays looking premium year-round.
The Coulsdon mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments calls for tailored detailing. We often match paving to existing brickwork, render tones and boundary walls, so the finished area feels intentional. For 1930s homes, granite setts can frame a driveway beautifully; for modern builds, large-format silver granite slabs keep things crisp. If you’re in CR5, we’ll also factor in access, parking and how you use the space day to day.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written scope before any digging begins. We excavate to the correct depth, install a robust sub-base, and lay granite on a stable bed with accurate falls for drainage. Every job is finished with neat cuts, tidy edges and a full clean-down, and we keep disruption low across the 3–5 day build. Fine Landscaping is local to South London, so you get responsive aftercare and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to the semi-rural edges around Happy Valley and the varied ground conditions found across the London Borough of Croydon. Some plots in the Coulsdon area have sloping drives, so we set levels carefully and build in drainage where needed. We plan deliveries and waste removal around on-street parking and access, especially in Chipstead Valley and Hooley. If any council considerations apply, we flag them early and keep the job moving.

For Granite Paving in Coulsdon, most homeowners budget around £100–£180 per square metre depending on the granite type, thickness, cutting complexity and groundworks required. Typical completed projects often fall between £4,000 and £9,000 for patios or driveways. Costs can rise with extensive excavation, drainage channels, steps, retaining edges or intricate sett patterns. We’ll survey and provide an itemised estimate.
Most granite paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and suitable weather. Time depends on the area size, excavation depth, whether old concrete needs breaking out, and any drainage or edging details. Driveways can take longer if we’re forming new falls, installing channels or working around services. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring and checking levels on site.
Many patios and driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply depending on drainage, front garden changes and whether water runs to the highway. In the London Borough of Croydon, driveways generally need permeable construction or drainage to a soakaway rather than the road. If your property has restrictions or is affected by specific conditions, we’ll advise and help you stay compliant before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for granite paving installations. This covers issues linked to installation, such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base construction, loose edging, or problems with levels and falls when installed by us. Granite is naturally durable, but we’ll also advise on care to prevent staining and keep joints in good condition. Warranty terms are supplied in writing with your quote.
We install granite setts and granite slabs in popular finishes like silver granite and black granite, with options for flamed, sawn or textured surfaces for grip. Many Coulsdon clients choose a slab patio with a sett border, or a full sett driveway with a contrasting edge. We’ll help you select sizes, laying patterns and joint colours to suit your house style, lighting and maintenance preferences.
