New Cross downpours can quickly overwhelm older hardstanding, especially on sloping streets near Telegraph Hill and around New Cross station. Permeable paving lets water soak through the surface into a prepared sub-base, helping to prevent pooling and runoff. Fine Landscaping designs and installs permeable driveways, paths and patios across SE14 with finishes that complement the street scene. The result is a practical surface that looks premium and performs in heavy rain.
Homes in New Cross range from Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to converted flats with compact front gardens. These properties often have limited space, shared access and tight boundaries, so every level and edge detail matters. We tailor permeable paving new cross area projects to suit bin routes, bike storage and step thresholds, keeping the layout functional. Where access is restricted, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then recommend the best permeable build-up for your ground conditions. Our team installs a correctly graded, free-draining sub-base, integrates drainage where needed, and finishes with crisp edging and neat cuts. You’ll get a clear written scope, straightforward scheduling and a clean handover. Local homeowners trust us for reliable communication, workmanship that lasts and a 10-year warranty.
Streets around Deptford and Brockley can involve tight parking, narrow access and short working windows, so we plan logistics carefully. We also account for mixed ground conditions and level changes common near Telegraph Hill. For permeable paving in London Borough of Lewisham, we design to manage runoff responsibly and keep thresholds and air bricks protected. Where council guidance affects front garden paving, we’ll advise on compliant solutions and documentation.

Costs vary by material, access and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £110–£160 per m², resin bound typically £90–£140 per m², and gravel or grass grids usually £60–£110 per m². Additional items such as edgings, steps, drainage integration and skip permits can affect the total. We provide a site-specific quote after a survey in SE14.
Most small to medium driveways or front garden areas take around 3–7 working days from excavation to final finish. Larger areas, complex levels, or restricted access (common with terraces and converted flats) can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Weather, curing times (for porous concrete), and any drainage integration also influence the schedule. We confirm timings after measuring up and checking spoil removal routes.
In many cases, front garden paving is permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where changes affect the public highway. We’ll talk you through the requirements for your New Cross property, check whether SuDS compliance is needed, and recommend a compliant design before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity of the build-up when used as intended. This includes issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation or poor compaction. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give care guidance to keep permeability performing well long term.
We offer permeable block paving in contemporary or heritage colours, resin bound finishes with natural aggregates, gravel grids for a traditional look, and grass grids for greener parking. Porous concrete can suit clean, modern schemes, while edging details can sharpen the overall design. We’ll help you choose patterns, borders and colour blends that suit your home and street, then confirm slip resistance, maintenance and drainage performance.
