Herne Hill sees heavy downpours and plenty of hard landscaping around SE24, so managing surface water matters. Our permeable paving keeps rain where it falls, filtering through the surface instead of rushing to the drains. It’s an ideal choice for front gardens near Brockwell Park and properties around Herne Hill station where runoff can be a nuisance. Expect a finish that suits period streets while helping reduce local flood risk.
We work across the permeable paving Herne Hill area, including Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill, where Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have compact frontages and shared access. Many period conversions need practical parking solutions without losing kerb appeal. We design layouts that respect original brickwork, boundary walls and garden levels. Where space is tight, we plan falls and edging carefully to avoid water tracking towards the house.
Fine Landscaping handles everything: survey, design, excavation, sub-base build-up, drainage integration and a clean handover. We use proven SuDS-compliant systems and specify the right aggregates to keep permeability performing year after year. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy sites and workmanship that lasts. You’ll also get straightforward aftercare advice to keep the surface free-draining.
We regularly install permeable paving in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, where access, parking restrictions and skip permits can affect scheduling. Herne Hill’s mix of clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots means sub-base depth and geotextiles must be chosen carefully. We also account for narrow front paths, shared crossovers and existing levels typical of SE24 terraces. Our team plans deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption to neighbours.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide in SE24, permeable block paving is often £120–£180 per m², resin bound typically £90–£150 per m², and gravel/grass grids around £60–£110 per m². Complex drainage integration, steps, retaining edges or restricted parking can increase labour and disposal costs. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most front driveways take 3–7 working days, depending on size and the amount of dig-out required. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable block paving may take longer due to laying patterns and edging. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, weather, curing time, and whether we’re integrating channel drains or replacing manhole covers. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if it’s permeable or directs water to a permeable area, which is why SuDS-compliant surfaces are so popular. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where you’re altering a dropped kerb. We’ll advise on the requirements for the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark and can help you confirm anything unusual before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations. This covers issues such as sinking caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failure of installation details that affect performance. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen (for example, resin systems). Normal wear, staining, and damage from third parties or heavy vehicles outside the design spec aren’t covered.
You can choose permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional colours, resin bound finishes with natural aggregates, porous concrete for clean modern lines, or grass/gravel grids for a greener look. We also design drainage integration details such as discreet channels and soakaway connections where needed. During the survey we’ll discuss patterns, borders, edgings and step thresholds, then recommend options that suit your home’s style and budget.
