A well-built gravel driveway can transform the approach to your property while keeping rainwater where it belongs—soaking into the ground rather than pooling. We install decorative gravel driveways across Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park, with finishes that complement both classic and contemporary façades. Our team is regularly working near Wimbledon Common and the All England Lawn Tennis Club, so we understand the expectations of local homeowners. Every build is designed to look tidy, drive well and stay low-maintenance.
Wimbledon’s streets feature large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes, each needing a slightly different approach to levels, edging and access. For period properties, we often match gravel tones to brickwork and traditional boundary details, keeping the frontage elegant rather than over-engineered. Modern homes tend to suit cleaner lines, stronger edging and stabilising grids for a crisp, uniform surface. If you’re in SW19 or SW20 with a sloping drive or limited parking space, we’ll plan the build to keep access practical throughout.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess levels, drainage routes and the best entry point for materials. We excavate to the correct depth, lay a robust membrane, install gravel grids where needed, and finish with quality edging to prevent migration. You’ll get clear, itemised pricing, tidy working practices and a schedule that typically completes within 1–2 days. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, durable detailing and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Ground conditions in Wimbledon can vary from compacted clay to freer-draining soils, so we tailor sub-base depth and compaction accordingly. Parking and access can be tight around Wimbledon Village and near New Wimbledon Theatre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also consider street gradients and crossover levels common in SW19 and SW20. If any council guidance applies, we’ll flag it early and build to suit.

In the Wimbledon area, gravel driveway installation typically falls between £30–£60 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base requirements, edging type and whether gravel grids are included. Many homeowners spend around £1,200–£3,000 for a standard front drive, but larger Victorian frontages or complex levels can increase costs. We’ll provide a detailed breakdown after a site survey.
Most gravel driveways in London Borough of Merton are completed in 1–2 days, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if significant excavation is needed, levels require regrading, or additional drainage features are added. Restricted access in SW19/SW20 can also affect delivery and removal times. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a gravel driveway is permitted development, particularly when it’s a permeable, free-draining surface. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation considerations, new or altered vehicle crossovers, and certain boundary changes. We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply to your property in the London Borough of Merton and can help you check requirements before installation so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our gravel driveway installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed layers such as membrane placement, edging installation and grid fitting (where specified). Normal wear, surface scuffing and gravel displacement from heavy use may still require routine top-ups, which we can provide as maintenance. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to keep the driveway performing well.
We offer a range of decorative gravels, including golden flint, Cotswold-style blends, grey limestone and angular granite for a cleaner look. Design options include gravel grids for stability, contrasting edging (stone, metal or kerb edging), and different gravel sizes to suit foot traffic and vehicles. We’ll recommend combinations that complement Wimbledon properties, balance drainage, and stay practical for everyday parking and turning.
