From Kennington Park to the streets around The Oval cricket ground, outdoor space in SE11 needs paving that looks sharp and performs year-round. Fine Landscaping designs and installs patios, pathways and front garden hardstanding with a premium finish. We match materials and patterns to your property and how you use the space. Expect tidy lines, safe levels and surfaces that stay stable through heavy footfall.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact front gardens, basement lightwells and shared access routes. We’re used to working around railings, steps and existing brickwork so new paving feels original to the home. For courtyards and side returns, we specify slip-resistant finishes and thoughtful edging to keep everything neat. If you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we can recommend styles that complement local streetscapes.
Our paving installation oval area process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification. We excavate correctly, build a strong sub-base, install drainage where needed, then lay and cut each unit precisely before jointing and optional sealing. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clean handovers and aftercare advice. Homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
We understand the access challenges around Oval tube station and the tighter streets typical of the London Borough of Lambeth. Deliveries, waste removal and parking are planned in advance to keep the job moving. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust sub-base depth and compaction to prevent future settlement. Our designs also respect Georgian and Victorian detailing, using sympathetic colours and borders.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork, but typical installed prices in SE11 are often £120–£200 per m² for concrete or block paving, £160–£260 per m² for natural stone, and £180–£300 per m² for porcelain. Steps, drainage channels, complex patterns, and waste removal can increase the total. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site survey.
Most patios and front garden paving projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller paths can be completed in 1–3 days, while larger areas with steps, drainage runs or intricate patterns may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, curing time for bedding and edge restraints, and access restrictions typical of Oval streets.
In many cases, paving in gardens is permitted development, but rules can apply to front gardens and surface water management. If you’re creating or replacing a driveway, Lambeth guidance generally expects permeable paving or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the road. Listed buildings and conservation considerations may also affect materials and appearance. We check requirements and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement, and edge restraint movement when the area is used as intended. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards and may carry their own guarantees. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep paving looking its best.
We install block paving, natural stone (such as sandstone or granite), porcelain paving, and concrete flags, with options for borders, circles, and contemporary linear patterns. Edging can be kerb stone, brick, or metal, depending on the look and levels. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit Georgian terraces and Victorian façades, and specify slip resistance for shaded courtyards and paths.
