Whether you’re near Sidcup High Street or closer to Foots Cray Meadows, we design the build-up to stay level, drain well and resist rutting.

Homes across DA14 and DA15 often have front gardens that can be converted into generous parking, especially with 1930s semis and wider plots. We also work on Victorian houses where access can be tighter and levels need careful setting out. Modern developments around Sidcup benefit from neat, contemporary gravel choices and clean edging lines. Our recommendations are based on how you use the space, not one-size-fits-all designs.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and how vehicles will turn and park. Then we install a proper sub-base, lay a quality membrane, fit edging, and finish with the right gravel size for stability. Where needed, we add gravel grids to reduce movement and keep the surface looking even. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
In the gravel driveways Sidcup area, we often encounter mixed ground and varying front-garden levels, so we set falls carefully and compact sub-bases in layers. Parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also consider local drainage expectations and practical access for bins and pedestrians. If you’re comparing gravel driveways in London Borough of Bexley, our approach focuses on longevity, not shortcuts.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most gravel driveway installations in Sidcup fall between £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base requirements, edging choices and whether you add gravel grids. Typical projects for UK homes are often around £1,200–£3,000, but larger driveways or complex levels can increase costs. We’ll measure up, discuss finishes, and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most gravel driveways take 1–2 days to install once the design and materials are agreed. Smaller, straightforward front gardens can be completed in a day, while larger areas, poor ground, or significant excavation and level changes can push it to two days or more. Weather can also affect compaction and finishing. We’ll confirm timings before starting and keep access practical throughout.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, particularly when it’s a permeable, free-draining surface. However, rules can vary if you’re altering access points, working near highways, or if your property has restrictions (for example, listed status). We’ll advise on permeability, drainage and any likely constraints, and we can help you check requirements relevant to the London Borough of Bexley before work begins.
