A gravel driveway is a practical way to create off-street parking while keeping a softer, traditional look. We build gravel driveways across CR4, including routes near Mitcham Junction station and homes bordering Mitcham Common. Expect tidy excavation, proper membranes, and a finish that stays level under daily use. Decorative gravel options let you match brickwork, render or garden planting.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two entrances are the same. We regularly design layouts for narrower drives, shared access points and larger forecourts where turning space matters. If your frontage slopes or has an older path line, we’ll set falls and edging to keep gravel where it belongs. Homeowners in the gravel driveways Mitcham area often choose a finish that complements period details without looking over-engineered.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space day to day. We install a stable sub-base, lay a quality membrane, fit edging, then add gravel and (where needed) gravel grids for strength. Work is kept neat and safe, with clear communication on timings and access. You’ll also receive aftercare advice and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to access and parking constraints around CR4, especially on residential roads near Mitcham Cricket Green and busier routes by Mitcham Junction. Ground conditions can vary, so we build the sub-base to suit and prevent rutting. We also consider drainage and permeable surfacing expectations commonly applied across the gravel driveways in London Borough of Merton. Where skips or deliveries are needed, we plan logistics to minimise disruption.

In Mitcham, gravel driveway installation typically falls between £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base build-up, edging choice and whether you add gravel grids. Many homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front drive, but larger areas or complex levels will increase costs. We’ll provide a tailored estimate after a site survey and measurements.
Most gravel driveways are completed in 1–2 days, including excavation, membrane laying, edging installation and the final gravel layer. Timings depend on the size of the drive, how much digging is required, and whether we’re installing gravel grids for extra strength. Poor access, removal of old concrete, or significant levelling work can add time, but we’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, particularly when it’s permeable and allows rainwater to drain naturally. However, rules can change depending on your property, any conservation considerations, and how drainage is handled. We’ll advise on permeable build-ups, falls and run-off so you stay compliant. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll flag this early and help you check requirements.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our gravel driveway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure due to incorrect build-up, edging movement caused by poor fixing, and membrane-related problems from improper installation. Normal wear, surface scuffing and gravel displacement from heavy turning or lack of maintenance aren’t covered, but we’ll show you how to keep the finish looking its best.
We supply a range of decorative gravels, including golden flint, Cotswold-style blends, grey granite and angular limestone for better interlock. Design options include gravel grids for high-use parking, contrasting edging (kerbs, metal or brick), and defined paths or planting borders. We’ll recommend the right stone size and colour based on your frontage, vehicle use and how you want it to complement your home’s style.
