Sydenham homeowners choose granite for its clean look, hard-wearing surface and timeless character. Whether you’re updating a front drive near SE26 or creating a rear patio for entertaining, granite delivers a sharp, high-end finish. We regularly work close to Sydenham Wells Park and around Lower Sydenham, where access and levels can vary from plot to plot. Our granite slabs and setts are selected for consistent colour and long-term performance.
The Sydenham area is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-proportioned period conversions, often with narrow side access and stepped gardens. We design granite paving to complement original brickwork, bay windows and traditional garden layouts without looking overly modern. For larger plots near Dulwich Wood or the Forest Hill border, we can create generous terraces and pathways that feel cohesive. If you’re after something bolder, black granite detailing can frame planting beds or define parking bays neatly.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, falls and drainage, then we provide a clear specification for the base build-up and jointing. We excavate properly, install a robust sub-base, and lay granite on a stable bed for a precise, even finish. Homeowners trust us for tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and workmanship that lasts through heavy use. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, plots around Sydenham can include sloping gardens, mature tree roots and mixed ground conditions. We adapt excavation depths and sub-base design to suit, and we plan deliveries for tighter roads and parking controls near SE26. Where properties have steps or raised thresholds, we set finished levels carefully to protect damp courses. We also factor in surface water management so patios and driveways drain correctly.

For granite paving sydenham area projects, budgets typically fall between £100–£180 per square metre, depending on the granite type, pattern, edging and groundworks required. Many Sydenham patio or driveway installations come out around £4,000–£9,000 in total. Costs can rise where excavation is deeper, access is restricted, or you choose premium black granite detailing and bespoke cuts. We’ll itemise the build-up and finishes clearly.
Most granite paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Time is mainly driven by excavation, sub-base compaction, setting levels and completing jointing and edges. Larger driveways, intricate granite setts patterns, or sites with steps and multiple levels can add time. If we need extra drainage solutions or soakaway work, we’ll allow for that in the schedule and keep disruption controlled.
Granite paving in London Borough of Lewisham gardens is often permitted development, but rules can apply to front gardens and driveways, especially around surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway, you may need a permeable solution or drainage to a suitable area rather than the public sewer. Conservation areas and listed buildings can add restrictions. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you check before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our granite paving installations, covering workmanship such as sub-base preparation, levels, stability and edge restraints when used as intended. Granite itself is a natural stone with excellent durability, but long-term performance depends on correct build-up and drainage, which we prioritise. The warranty does not cover damage from ground movement outside the paved area, heavy impacts, or alterations by others. We’ll explain care and maintenance at handover.
Popular choices include silver granite slabs for a bright, contemporary look and black granite for striking borders, steps or driveway detailing. Granite setts work well for traditional entrances, aprons and curved edges, while larger slabs suit patios and clean-lined paths. We can advise on slip resistance, joint colour, laying patterns and edging profiles to match your property. Samples help you compare tones in your garden’s light before ordering.
