Granite brings a clean, architectural finish that suits Dulwich’s village feel and standout period streetscapes. We install granite slabs and granite setts for patios, paths and driveways, with careful detailing around steps, edging and thresholds. Homeowners near Dulwich Park and Dulwich Village often choose granite for its durability and sharp, contemporary look. Every project is planned to complement the property and improve day-to-day access.
Our team works regularly across East Dulwich, West Dulwich and Herne Hill, where Georgian and Victorian houses often have narrow side returns and established front gardens. We’re used to protecting original brickwork, managing levels to older thresholds, and creating practical parking layouts for larger detached properties. If you’re considering granite paving Dulwich area upgrades, we’ll advise on finishes that match existing stonework and boundary walls. The result is a surface that looks premium without feeling out of place.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear written specification, then prepare a robust sub-base and bedding layer to prevent movement. Falls and drainage are set correctly from day one, and joints are finished for a neat, long-lasting appearance. You’ll have a named point of contact, tidy working practices and a realistic programme. Our granite paving in London Borough of Southwark is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Dulwich properties often need careful level management to suit older thresholds and mature gardens. We plan deliveries and waste removal with local access in mind, including tighter streets around SE21 and SE22. Where parking controls apply, we schedule works to minimise disruption and keep the site secure. Our approach suits Southwark’s mix of conservation-minded streets and modern expectations for drainage and durability.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Dulwich, granite paving typically ranges from £100–£180 per square metre, depending on the stone type, thickness, cut complexity and ground preparation required. Most patio or driveway projects fall around £4,000–£9,000 for a complete supply-and-install service. Costs can rise where excavation is deeper, access is restricted in SE21–SE24, or you choose intricate granite sett borders and drainage upgrades.
Most granite paving jobs take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming straightforward access and average weather. Larger driveways, complex patterns with setts, or significant level changes can extend the programme. Time is also affected by how much old surfacing needs removing, whether drainage channels or soakaway solutions are required, and curing time for bedding materials. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
Many patio and driveway installations are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, listed buildings and conservation areas common in parts of Dulwich. For driveways, surface water usually must drain to a permeable area within your boundary rather than the public highway. We’ll advise on suitable drainage options and check any relevant constraints before work starts, helping you stay compliant with Southwark requirements.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for granite paving installations. This covers issues such as sinking, movement caused by inadequate base preparation, and failures in laying that affect levels and stability. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also explain aftercare for joints and cleaning, so your patio or driveway keeps its finish for years.
We install granite slabs for sleek patios and walkways, and granite setts for borders, aprons and detailed features. Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, contemporary look and black granite for bold contrast against brickwork. We can recommend sizes, laying patterns and edging details to suit Victorian and Georgian properties, then provide samples and a layout plan so you can choose confidently before installation.
