Wimbledon’s mix of large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes calls for paving that feels considered rather than generic. We match joint lines, edging and thresholds so granite sits naturally against period brickwork and modern render alike. Many properties around Wimbledon Park benefit from defined parking bays and neat pathways that reduce wear on lawns. Our recommendations balance kerb appeal with practical access for bins, bikes and family life.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space. Then we prepare a solid sub-base, install appropriate drainage, and lay granite to precise tolerances with durable jointing. Work is kept tidy, with clear daily updates and protection for surrounding planting. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, skilled workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As a team working regularly in the granite paving Wimbledon area, we plan around narrow drives, controlled parking and delivery access near Wimbledon Village and South Wimbledon. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust sub-base depth and compaction to prevent future settlement. We also consider surface water management, especially for driveway replacements, and can advise on permeable solutions where needed. Our approach fits the expectations of the London Borough of Merton and the character of local period properties.

For granite paving in London Borough of Merton, most projects fall between £100 and £180 per square metre, depending on the granite type, thickness and pattern. Typical overall budgets in Wimbledon are around £4,000–£9,000 for a patio or driveway section, influenced by excavation depth, drainage requirements, access for skips and deliveries, and the amount of detailing such as setts edging and steps.
Most granite patios and driveways in Wimbledon take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming straightforward access and average-sized areas. Timescales can extend if we’re installing new drainage channels, rebuilding steps or retaining edges, or if there are complex curves and sett detailing. Weather can also affect curing and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and measurements.
Many garden patios don’t require planning permission, and driveways are often permitted development, but rules can apply around surface water drainage and listed or conservation considerations. In Merton, replacing a front garden with an impermeable surface may need a compliant drainage solution or permission. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey, recommend permeable options where appropriate, and help you understand what’s needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our granite paving installations. This covers issues such as sub-base failure, movement due to incorrect preparation, and problems arising from installation defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or general wear and tear, and natural colour variation in stone is expected. We also advise on aftercare and sealing options to help keep your granite looking its best.
Popular choices include silver granite slabs for bright, modern patios and black granite details for strong contrast. Granite setts work well for driveway aprons, edging, kerb lines and feature borders, while larger slabs create a calmer, contemporary look. We can advise on finishes (flamed, sawn, textured), laying patterns, joint colours and step/threshold detailing. Samples and layout sketches help you choose a design that suits your property.
