Battersea homes deserve a driveway that suits the streetscape and copes with London weather. From SW11 near Battersea Park to SW8 around Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station, gravel is a practical, attractive option. We build driveways that resist rutting and puddling, with neat edging and a clean, even surface. Expect a finish that complements both traditional brickwork and modern façades.
Our team works across the gravel driveways Battersea area, including Queenstown and around Clapham Junction where access and parking can be tight. We’re used to Victorian terraces with short front gardens, mansion blocks with shared entrances, and luxury new builds needing a crisp, contemporary look. We tailor sub-base depth, grids and edging to suit each property’s layout and load requirements. The result is a driveway that feels intentional, not temporary.
We start with a site survey, levels check and clear recommendations on gravel type, edging and drainage. Installation includes membrane laying, optional gravel grids for stability, and careful compaction for a firm, quiet surface. We protect paving and thresholds, keep the site tidy, and leave clear maintenance guidance to keep it looking sharp. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we often work with compact frontages, controlled parking, and narrow access routes for materials. Battersea’s mix of older terraces and new developments means levels and thresholds vary, so we pay close attention to falls and door clearances. Where ground is prone to soft spots, we specify stronger sub-base build-ups and stabilising grids. We also plan deliveries to reduce disruption on busy streets near SW11 and SW8.

In Battersea, gravel driveways typically cost £30–£60 per square metre depending on excavation depth, sub-base specification, and whether you choose gravel grids and premium edging. Most homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front driveway. Costs can rise for complex levels, restricted access near flats, or higher-end decorative aggregates. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most gravel driveway installations take 1–2 days, depending on size and the amount of excavation required. A straightforward replacement with good access can be completed in a day, while deeper dig-outs, new edging lines, or multiple parking bays may take longer. Weather, skip placement, and delivery timing can also affect the schedule. We confirm timings in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, particularly when the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable area within your property. Gravel is often a good choice because it can be designed to be free-draining with the right sub-base and membrane. However, rules can vary with listed buildings, conservation areas, or changes to access/kerbs. We’ll flag any likely requirements and advise what to check before work starts.
Yes. Our gravel driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as edging movement, sub-base failure due to installation, and significant settlement where the build-up was specified by us. Normal wear, surface scuffing, and gravel redistribution from heavy use are not faults, but we’ll explain simple maintenance to keep the finish even. If a problem arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
We offer a range of decorative gravels, from warm golden flint to grey granite and contemporary blends that suit modern façades. For stability, we can install gravel grids, especially for regular parking or sloped approaches. Edging options include brick, stone setts, kerbs, or metal edging for a crisp line. We’ll help you choose the right colour, size and texture based on your property style and how you use the space.
