Greenwich homeowners often need hard landscaping that copes with sudden downpours without puddles or runoff. Our permeable paving systems are designed to let water pass through the surface and into a prepared sub-base, reducing flood risk and keeping access safe. From Maze Hill to SE10 streets near Greenwich Park, we create driveways and patios that suit the character of the area. Expect crisp detailing, tidy edges and drainage that actually works.
We regularly work across the permeable paving Greenwich area, including Blackheath, Deptford and Charlton. Property styles vary from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to modern waterfront apartments, so we tailor levels, thresholds and finishes to each site. Where space is tight, we plan deliveries and access carefully to minimise disruption. The result is a surface that complements period brickwork or contemporary façades without compromising performance.
Our process starts with a site survey, level checks and a clear recommendation on the best SuDS approach for your plot. We excavate to the correct depth, install a free-draining sub-base, and integrate drainage details where needed for reliable flood reduction. You’ll receive a written specification, transparent options and workmanship you can inspect at every stage. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 30 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we often encounter mixed ground conditions, from compacted made ground to clay-heavy subsoils that need careful sub-base design. Parking and access can be restricted near busy routes and visitor areas, so we plan waste removal and deliveries to keep the project moving. We also account for older property thresholds and basement lightwells where levels matter. Our detailing keeps water away from walls while maintaining neat, period-appropriate lines.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £110–£170 per m², resin bound typically £90–£140 per m², and gravel or grass grids around £60–£110 per m². Complex level changes, steps, edging, and drainage integration can increase the total. We provide a site-specific quotation after measuring and checking ground conditions.
Most driveway or patio projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Time is affected by excavation depth, removal of existing concrete, the amount of edging and detailing, and whether drainage integration or level corrections are required. Resin bound surfaces may need additional curing time before vehicles can use them. We’ll confirm a realistic programme once we’ve surveyed access and site conditions.
In many cases, permeable surfacing for driveways and front gardens is permitted development, particularly when the surface is SuDS-compliant and water drains within your property. However, rules can differ for flats, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas, and there may be requirements around levels and run-off. We’ll advise on the likely position and can help you check any council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations. This covers issues caused by installation defects, such as settlement from incorrect sub-base build-up, loose edging, or poor falls that lead to persistent pooling. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll also explain product warranties where applicable, such as resin or block manufacturers’ guarantees.
You can choose from permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound for a seamless modern finish, porous concrete for robust utility areas, and grass or gravel grids for a greener look. We also design complementary edging, steps and thresholds to suit Georgian and Victorian frontages or contemporary apartments. After a survey, we’ll recommend options based on drainage needs, traffic load and the style of your home.
