If puddles form after heavy rain or your driveway sends water towards the house, permeable surfacing is a practical upgrade. We design and install systems that let water pass through the surface and into a prepared sub-base, helping reduce runoff. Around Lee Green crossroads and SE12 streets near Lee station, this approach can make day-to-day parking cleaner and safer. The result is a driveway or path that performs in wet weather without sacrificing kerb appeal.
Lee Green has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, often with compact front gardens and shared access considerations. We tailor layouts to suit narrow entrances, bay windows, and existing steps while keeping gradients correct for drainage. For homeowners in nearby Hither Green and Blackheath, we also match colours and edging details to period brickwork and boundary walls. Every specification is chosen for durability, ease of maintenance, and a finish that complements the property.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil conditions and where water currently flows, then propose a SuDS-friendly build-up with drainage integration where needed. Our team handles excavation, waste removal, sub-base preparation, and clean detailing around thresholds and air bricks. You’ll receive clear options, a written scope, and tidy working practices from start to finish. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent communication, and a finish that lasts.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we plan permeable builds around local access constraints, on-street parking and short delivery windows. In the permeable paving lee green area, many front drives need careful level control to avoid directing water towards air bricks or neighbouring plots. We also factor in tree roots and established planting near Manor House Gardens-style streetscapes. The specification is adjusted to suit ground conditions and the way rainwater behaves on your plot.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and drainage requirements. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², while resin bound systems are commonly £120–£180 per m². Gravel grids and grass grids can be lower, typically £70–£120 per m², depending on base preparation. If you need extra dig-out, edging, steps, or drainage integration, allow more.
Most domestic driveways take around 3–7 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and complexity. Smaller paths or parking bays may be completed in 2–4 days, while larger areas can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, and whether we’re installing edgings, steps, or additional drainage details. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, a new or replacement driveway is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. That’s why SuDS-compliant systems are so popular for front gardens. However, rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering access crossings. We’ll advise on the best compliant build-up and can help you check requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor compaction, or incorrect installation. It also covers edging stability and the integrity of the installed system when used as intended. Normal wear, accidental damage, oil spills, and lack of routine maintenance aren’t covered. We’ll explain care requirements and provide aftercare guidance to protect your finish.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a smooth contemporary look, and practical grass grids or gravel grids for greener, lower-visual-impact parking. Porous concrete can suit certain utility areas where a simple, robust surface is needed. We’ll help you choose edging, thresholds, and drainage integration to suit your home, budget, and how you use the space, including SuDS compliance.
