Fine Landscaping designs and installs decorative imprinted concrete surfaces that suit West Dulwich’s leafy streets and period homes. Whether you’re near West Dulwich station or walking distance from Belair Park, we create clean, practical driveways and patios that look like natural stone without the upkeep. Patterns and colours are tailored to your frontage and garden layout. The result is a hard-wearing surface that elevates kerb appeal and everyday use.
The West Dulwich area has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-kept period conversions, often with compact front gardens and shared access. We regularly match finishes to traditional brickwork, iron railings and heritage-style pathways so the new surface doesn’t look out of place. For homes around SE21, we plan falls and drainage carefully to keep entrances tidy in wet weather. We can also coordinate designs that complement nearby areas such as Dulwich Village and Herne Hill.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification. We prepare a strong sub-base, pour and imprint the concrete, then apply professional sealing for colour depth and stain resistance. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a finish inspected before sign-off. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Installing imprinted concrete in London Borough of Lambeth often means working with tight access, on-street parking and short front drives. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours informed. Ground conditions can vary between gardens near Dulwich Wood and streets closer to Thurlow Park, so we adjust sub-base depth and drainage details to suit. We also design to complement traditional façades common across SE21.

Costs in SE21 typically range from about £90–£140 per m² for standard patterns and colours, depending on access and groundworks. More complex designs, multiple colours, borders, steps or heavy excavation can push prices to around £150–£190 per m². Driveways often need deeper sub-bases than patios, which affects budgets. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most patios take around 2–4 days, while driveways are commonly 3–7 days, depending on size and preparation work. Excavation, sub-base installation, edging, drainage and curing time all affect the programme. Poor access, removal of existing paving, or complex designs (borders, multiple colours, steps) can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule and advise when the surface can be walked and driven on.
In many cases, patios and replacement drive surfaces are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and the amount of water directed to the highway. If your front garden is being paved, we’ll discuss permeable options, falls and suitable drainage to comply with guidance. Listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may have extra considerations. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship and the structural integrity of the surface when used as intended. This includes issues such as significant cracking caused by poor base preparation or incorrect installation. Normal wear, accidental damage, heavy point loads and lack of routine care (such as resealing when needed) aren’t covered. We’ll explain maintenance, sealing intervals and aftercare to keep the finish looking its best.
We offer stone patterns, brick patterns, slate patterns and cobble patterns, with a wide range of custom colours from warm buff and sandstone tones to charcoal and modern greys. Many West Dulwich homeowners choose a contrasting border to frame a driveway or patio and tie in with brickwork. We’ll bring samples, recommend combinations that suit your property style, and advise on sealing options for sheen level and durability.
