A well-built gravel drive can transform kerb appeal while keeping rainwater where it belongs. We design and install gravel driveways across SE13, working around busy streets near Lewisham station and the Lewisham Shopping Centre. From compact front gardens to wider plots, we create a clean, level surface that’s easy to use. Expect neat edges, consistent gravel depth and a finish that suits your property.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and newer developments calls for tailored detailing. In Ladywell and Hither Green, many front gardens need efficient drainage and a driveway that doesn’t creep into borders. We match gravel colour and aggregate size to period brickwork, modern render or paving. If you need a path-to-door link or bin access, we plan that into the layout from the start.
Our approach is simple: prepare the base properly, control weeds, and stabilise the surface so it stays put. We excavate to the right depth, lay a membrane, install edging, then add gravel and optional gravel grids for stronger parking areas. You’ll get clear guidance on maintenance and topping up, plus workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for tidy sites, reliable scheduling and finishes that last.
Access and parking can be tight around Blackheath, Lee and the SE13 corridors, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for typical London ground conditions, including compacted subsoil and older garden layers that need proper excavation. Where crossovers, pavement edges or drainage routes are involved, we’ll advise on practical options and help you stay aligned with London Borough of Lewisham requirements. The result is a driveway that works day-to-day, not just on installation day.

In the Lewisham area, gravel driveway installation typically ranges from £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, base build-up, edging type and whether you add gravel grids. Many homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front driveway, but larger areas or difficult access can increase costs. We provide a site survey and itemised options so you can compare finishes and budgets confidently.
Most gravel driveways in London Borough of Lewisham are completed in 1–2 days. Timing depends on the size of the area, how much excavation is required, and whether we’re installing gravel grids and new edging. Access for machinery and skips can also affect the schedule on narrower streets. We’ll confirm the programme after the site visit and keep the site tidy and usable wherever possible.
Many gravel driveway projects are permitted development, especially when the surface is permeable and water drains within your property rather than onto the highway. However, rules can change if you’re altering a dropped kerb, working near a boundary wall, or the property is in a conservation area. We’ll talk you through the likely requirements and, where needed, help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
Yes. Our gravel driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including the base preparation, membrane laying, edging installation and overall stability when used as intended. Natural settlement can occur with any gravel surface, so we also explain the simple maintenance steps that keep it looking sharp. If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We offer a wide choice of decorative gravel, from golden flint and Cotswold tones to grey granite and angular limestone for better interlock. You can add gravel grids for stronger parking bays, and choose edging such as kerb stones, metal edging or brick borders to suit period and modern homes. We’ll help you select the right aggregate size, colour and layout based on traffic, drainage needs and the look of your frontage.
