We install driveways, patios and garden paths using block paving, natural stone, porcelain or concrete—finished with neat edging and considered levels.

East Dulwich is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact front gardens and side returns. We’re used to working with narrow access, shared boundaries and existing brickwork that needs sympathetic detailing. Our team matches paving colours and patterns to period features while keeping practicality front and centre. If you’re in Dulwich Village, Nunhead or Herne Hill, we’ll recommend materials that cope well with foot traffic and seasonal movement.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then prepare a proper sub-base and falls for drainage. Every installation is laid with attention to joints, edging restraint and long-term stability, with optional sealing to reduce staining and weed growth. We keep the site tidy, communicate timings, and protect surrounding planting and brickwork. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we plan paving around access constraints, parking bays and delivery windows common on residential streets. East Dulwich gardens can have variable ground and mature tree roots near boundaries, so we assess excavation depth and sub-base build-up carefully. We also design drainage to respect existing gullies and avoid water flowing towards buildings. If council guidance affects permeable surfacing, we’ll advise and document the approach.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and drainage needs. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£130 per m², block paving £110–£170 per m², and premium natural stone or porcelain typically £140–£220+ per m². Edging, steps, manhole covers, waste removal and sealing can affect the final figure. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE22.
Most patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days, while larger driveways can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on the area size, excavation and spoil removal, sub-base build, drainage channels or soakaways, and any cuts around walls and inspection covers. Weather can also slow curing and compaction. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
In many cases, patios and garden paving are permitted development, and driveways are usually fine if surface water drains to a permeable area within your property. Rules can change if you’re altering access, working near listed buildings, or in conservation areas around Dulwich. We’ll discuss drainage options (including permeable block paving) and help you stay compliant. If approvals are needed, we can support with specifications and drawings.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging restraints, and installation-related movement. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage isn’t altered after completion. We’ll explain care guidance, including joint maintenance and optional sealing, to keep your paving looking its best.
We offer block paving (including herringbone and basketweave patterns), natural stone setts and flags, modern porcelain for low-maintenance patios, and durable concrete options. You can choose contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, steps, and drainage channels to suit your layout. For SE22 period homes, we often recommend sympathetic colours and crisp detailing. We’ll bring samples, advise on slip resistance and maintenance, and design a layout that fits your space and budget.
