Herne Hill homeowners want paving that suits period streets and stands up to busy family life. Whether you’re improving access near Herne Hill station or creating a cleaner, low-maintenance patio for summer evenings after Brockwell Park, we design and install paving that feels considered. Expect neat lines, solid sub-bases and finishes that complement your brickwork and planting. We also factor in practicalities like bins, bikes and front-garden layouts common in SE24.
We regularly work across the paving installation herne hill area, including Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill. Many local properties are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with narrow side access and stepped thresholds. We match paving levels to existing doorways, air bricks and garden walls, and we can blend new paving into original features. If you’re modernising a courtyard or refurbishing a front garden, we’ll help you choose materials that suit the architecture.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and clear options for materials, patterns and edging. We excavate to the right depth, install a robust sub-base, and build in drainage so water sheds correctly away from your home. Every job is finished with careful jointing, optional sealing, and a tidy handover. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 15 minutes away, so you get responsive scheduling and reliable aftercare.
We’re used to the practical constraints of SE24, from controlled parking to tight access routes and shared paths. Ground conditions can vary between clay-heavy gardens and made-up ground from older landscaping, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. For paving installation in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, we also plan falls and drainage carefully to manage surface water. Where needed, we can advise on permeable paving and discreet channel drains.

Costs in SE24 vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£130 per m² installed, block paving typically £110–£170 per m², and natural stone or porcelain commonly £140–£220+ per m². Edging, steps, drainage channels, waste removal and sealing can add to the total. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small patios take around 2–4 days, while larger patios and driveways commonly take 5–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, sub-base requirements, drainage, patterns, and whether we’re building steps or retaining edges. Access in Herne Hill (including narrow side returns) can slow material movement, and wet weather may pause laying and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Often, paving works are permitted development, especially for rear patios. For front gardens and driveways, rules can apply around surface water: non-permeable paving over 5m² may need planning permission unless water drains to a permeable area within your property. Conservation considerations can also affect some streets. We’ll talk you through options such as permeable block paving, soakaways or channel drains and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our paving installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect installation, and edging instability. It’s designed to give Herne Hill homeowners long-term confidence. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered, and some materials have their own manufacturer warranties. We also offer guidance on cleaning and optional sealing to protect the finish.
We install block paving in a range of colours with patterns like herringbone or basketweave, plus natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite), porcelain paving for a crisp contemporary look, and durable concrete slabs. We can add contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, steps, and recessed drainage details. If you’re unsure what suits your property, we’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design a layout that fits your space and budget.
