A well-built gravel driveway transforms kerb appeal while keeping rainwater where it should be—soaking into the ground. We create tidy, hard-wearing surfaces across SW17, from Tooting Broadway to Tooting Bec. If you’re near Tooting Broadway station or popping to Tooting Market, you’ll have seen how smart gravel can look on Victorian front gardens. Our installations are designed to stay level, drain freely and resist rutting.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have compact frontages and narrow access. That’s why we plan levels carefully, keep edges crisp, and choose gravel sizes that suit frequent vehicle use. For sloped drives around Furzedown and Tooting Graveney, we can add gravel grids to lock the stone in place. The result is a driveway that looks premium without feeling overly formal.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear specification and a written quote, then we prepare the base properly—no shortcuts. We install membranes, solid edging and the right depth of aggregate to reduce weeds and tracking. Most jobs are completed in 1–2 days, with tidy working and respectful neighbour-friendly scheduling. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, clear communication and finishes that stay smart year after year.
In the gravel driveways Tooting area, we often work with clay-heavy subsoils and compact front gardens, so a stable sub-base and correct falls are essential. Parking and deliveries can be tight near Tooting Bec and around busy roads, so we plan drop-offs and waste removal carefully. We also consider typical Victorian thresholds and boundary walls, keeping levels safe and compliant. Where needed, we’ll advise on drainage-friendly designs suited to the London Borough of Wandsworth.

For gravel driveways in London Borough of Wandsworth, expect around £30–£60 per square metre depending on excavation depth, sub-base requirements, edging type and whether you choose gravel grids. Many SW17 driveway projects fall between £1,200 and £3,000 for a typical front garden parking area. Decorative gravel blends and premium edging can increase costs, while straightforward rectangular layouts are usually more economical.
Most gravel driveway installs take 1–2 days once the design and materials are agreed. Timing depends on how much excavation is needed, whether old paving must be removed, and if we’re installing gravel grids and new edging. Access in Tooting (especially for skips and deliveries) can also affect scheduling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many front driveway projects are permitted development, particularly when the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable permeable area. Gravel is typically a good option because it’s naturally free-draining, but rules can vary with drainage arrangements, dropped kerbs and conservation considerations. We’ll talk you through the requirements for your property in SW17 and can recommend compliant build-ups, including membranes and grids, to support drainage.
