A well-laid gravel driveway suits Chislehurst’s leafy streets and larger plots, adding instant kerb appeal without the hard, flat look of block paving. We design and install driveways that stay level, drain efficiently and keep gravel where it belongs. Whether you’re close to Chislehurst Common or heading towards BR7, we tailor the finish to your property and parking needs. Expect crisp edges, stable footing and a surface that looks great year-round.
From large detached houses to Victorian villas and other period properties, Chislehurst homes often need driveways that complement traditional brickwork and mature planting. We regularly work across the gravel driveways Chislehurst area, including Elmstead and Mottingham, where access widths and existing levels can vary. Our team helps you choose gravel colour and size to suit your façade, and we plan turning space for modern family cars. The result is practical parking that still feels premium.
We start with a site survey, then prepare a solid sub-base, lay a membrane, install edging and add the chosen gravel to the correct depth. Where needed, we fit gravel grids to reduce rutting and migration, especially on slopes or high-use bays. You’ll get clear paperwork, tidy working practices and straightforward maintenance guidance to keep the surface looking sharp. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, just around 30 minutes away, so support is close by.
Chislehurst plots often have mature trees, mixed ground and changing levels, so we build up the sub-base to prevent settlement and puddling. We plan deliveries and parking carefully on narrower roads and near busy spots such as the approach to St Nicholas Church. Our designs also suit the character of the London Borough of Bromley, balancing traditional looks with modern drainage requirements. If access is tight, we phase materials to keep your driveway usable.

In Chislehurst, gravel driveway installation typically ranges from £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base build-up, edging type and whether gravel grids are required. Many homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front-drive area, but larger detached plots or complex levels can increase costs. We’ll confirm measurements, access and material choice during a site visit before pricing.
Most gravel driveways are completed in 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and no major drainage corrections. Time can increase if we need to remove old surfacing, dig deeper for a stronger sub-base, install extensive edging, or fit grids across multiple parking bays. Weather and skip placement can also affect scheduling. We’ll agree a plan that keeps disruption low and leaves the site tidy each day.
Many gravel driveways fall under permitted development because gravel is a permeable, free-draining surface. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering access/kerbs or adding significant hardstanding near the highway. In the London Borough of Bromley we’ll advise on permeability and drainage compliance, and we can help you check any constraints before work starts.
Yes. Our gravel driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed layers (such as sub-base preparation, membrane laying, edging installation and grid fitting where specified). It doesn’t cover normal wear, extreme weather events, or damage from heavy vehicles beyond the agreed design load. We also provide maintenance guidance to help you keep the surface level and looking fresh.
We install a wide range of decorative gravel, from warm golden flint to grey limestone and contemporary slate tones, with sizes chosen for stability and appearance. Options include gravel grids for high-traffic areas, contrasting edging (stone, metal or kerb edging), and tailored borders to meet paths and planting. We’ll recommend combinations that suit period façades and modern builds, then sample materials on-site so you can choose confidently.
