A well-built gravel driveway suits Epsom’s mix of executive homes and character properties, giving a crisp look without the heavy feel of block paving. We regularly work around Epsom Downs and near Epsom Clock Tower, where neat detailing and good drainage matter. From decorative gravel to gravel grids and edging installation, we create driveways that stay level and look intentional. Every build includes proper membrane laying to reduce weeds and rutting.
Homeowners across KT17, KT18 and KT19 often need driveways that complement large detached houses, period properties and wider front gardens. In areas such as Ewell, Stoneleigh and Langley Vale, we see everything from long private drives to compact forecourts that need efficient use of space. We’ll help you choose gravel colour and size to match brickwork, render, or traditional Surrey-style landscaping. If you want a quieter, more stable surface, we’ll recommend grids and the right sub-base depth.
Our approach is straightforward: site visit, levels and drainage checks, then a clear specification before we start. We excavate where needed, install a solid sub-base, lay a quality membrane, fit edging, then lay and compact the chosen gravel for a consistent finish. You’ll get practical maintenance guidance to keep the surface looking sharp year-round. Fine Landscaping is a premium team based 25 minutes away, trusted for clean workmanship and dependable aftercare.
Across Epsom and Ewell Borough we often encounter mixed ground conditions, from firmer chalky areas to softer spots that need deeper sub-base preparation. Access and on-street parking can be tighter near the Ashley Centre and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider gradients common around Epsom Downs, specifying grids and edging that hold the surface in place. The result is a driveway that looks refined and performs well in Surrey weather.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most gravel driveway projects in the Epsom area fall around £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base requirements, and whether you choose gravel grids and premium edging. As a guide, typical total costs are often £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front drive, with larger detached-house driveways costing more. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and no major drainage changes. Time can increase if we need deeper excavation, additional sub-base for softer ground, or extensive edging and shaping around planting beds. Weather can also affect compaction and finishing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring levels and checking how quickly materials can be delivered to your street.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, particularly when it’s a permeable surface or drains to a permeable area within your property. However, rules can vary with listed buildings, conservation considerations, or changes to access/kerbs. We’ll talk you through the requirements and recommend compliant build-ups (such as permeable sub-bases and grids) where appropriate. If needed, we can help you gather details for the council.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gravel driveway installations, covering issues such as failed edging installation, poor sub-base preparation, or installation defects that lead to excessive sinking or movement. Normal wear, extreme weather events, and damage from heavy vehicles beyond the design brief aren’t covered. We also give maintenance advice to keep the surface stable and looking its best over time.
You can choose from decorative gravel options such as golden flint, Cotswold chippings, grey granite, or traditional pea shingle, in sizes suited to foot and vehicle traffic. We can add gravel grids for a firmer, more even surface, plus a range of edging styles for a sharp border. During the survey we’ll recommend colours and textures that suit your home and surrounding landscaping, then confirm samples before ordering.
