A well-built gravel drive can transform kerb appeal while keeping rainwater where it belongs—soaked into the ground. We install gravel driveways across SM7, including Nork and Burgh Heath, with a neat finish that suits Banstead’s village feel. Whether you’re close to Banstead High Street or heading towards Banstead Downs, we’ll design a driveway that works for daily use and looks tidy year-round.
Banstead homes often have generous front gardens and wider plots, from large detached houses to 1930s properties and executive homes. That means driveways need to handle multiple cars, turning space, and occasional delivery traffic without rutting. We match gravel size, depth and stabilisation to your layout, keeping surfaces firm under tyres and comfortable underfoot. The result is a practical driveway that complements the style of your property.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear recommendations on base build-up, drainage and edging. We excavate properly, lay a geotextile membrane, install gravel grids where needed, then finish with decorative gravel and crisp edging installation. Work is typically completed in 1–2 days, with tidy handover and care advice for easy maintenance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Ground conditions around Banstead can vary, so we assess sub-base depth and compaction for each plot. Many SM7 roads have limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and skip placement to keep access clear. We also consider gradients and run-off so the driveway performs well in wet weather. If any local requirements apply, we’ll flag them early and build accordingly.

For gravel driveways in the Banstead area, most homeowners budget around £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation, sub-base depth, gravel grids, edging and aggregate choice. Typical total spend is often £1,200–£3,000 for an average front drive, but larger detached plots or complex levels can increase costs. We provide a clear itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most installations take 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and dry conditions. Time can extend if we need deeper excavation, additional sub-base for soft ground, extensive edging, or multiple layers of gravel grids. Weather and delivery scheduling can also affect the programme. We’ll confirm timings after measuring the area and checking levels, parking access and waste removal needs.
Many gravel driveway projects are permitted development, particularly when the surface is permeable and water drains within your boundary. However, rules can vary depending on drainage arrangements, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or changes to vehicle access (dropped kerbs). We’ll advise on best practice and can help you check what applies in Reigate and Banstead Borough before work starts.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure due to poor build-up, edging movement, or grid installation defects when installed to our specification. Normal wear, misuse, and damage from heavy vehicles beyond the design brief aren’t covered. We’ll also explain simple maintenance steps—like occasional raking and top-ups—to keep the surface looking its best.
We offer a range of decorative gravel colours and sizes, from warm golden tones to contemporary greys, chosen to suit brickwork and paving. Options include gravel grids for stability, contrasting edging (stone, metal or block), and defined borders for planting. We’ll recommend the right aggregate size for parking and foot traffic, and help you balance appearance, durability and maintenance for your driveway layout.
