Heavy downpours can overwhelm older hardstanding, especially near green corridors like Norwood Grove Park. Our permeable paving solutions let water pass through the surface and into a prepared sub-base, reducing standing water and runoff. Whether you need a new driveway, patio or front garden parking, we design each build for SuDS compliance and long-term performance. We regularly work across SE19, including Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace.
Norwood Grove’s Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions often have narrow frontages and established garden levels. We plan falls, thresholds and edging so paving sits neatly against bay windows, steps and original brickwork. If you’re upgrading an existing drive, we can remove old concrete or tarmac and rebuild with a permeable system that looks in keeping with the street. For homes near Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we also account for leaf litter and seasonal debris that can affect surface performance.
Fine Landscaping handles the full process: site survey, design, excavation, sub-base build-up, surface installation and tidy finish. We integrate drainage where needed and specify materials that meet SuDS requirements without compromising kerb appeal. Homeowners choose us for clear written quotations, careful workmanship and respectful site management. All installations are backed by our 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
We’re around 15 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for surveys and aftercare. In the permeable paving Norwood Grove area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and mature tree roots, so we adjust excavation depths and sub-base design accordingly. Access can be tight on residential roads, so deliveries and waste removal are scheduled to minimise disruption. We also align designs with typical Croydon frontage layouts and parking needs.

Costs vary by surface choice, groundworks and access. As a guide, permeable block paving is often £90–£140 per m², resin bound typically £80–£130 per m², and gravel or grass grids around £60–£110 per m². Porous concrete can be £100–£160 per m² depending on finish. Excavation, waste removal, edging and any drainage integration will affect the final figure.
Most domestic driveways or patios take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller front gardens with grids can be quicker, while larger permeable block paving projects may take longer due to detailed laying and edging. Timescales are influenced by excavation depth, skip access, weather, and whether we’re removing old concrete or rebuilding levels near steps and thresholds. We provide a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, permeable paving is permitted development for front gardens because it allows water to drain through rather than run to the street. However, rules can change if you’re altering access (dropped kerb), working near a boundary wall, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise on the requirements and can design a SuDS-compliant solution to help you stay within guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation or edge restraint failure. The warranty is subject to normal use and correct maintenance (for example, keeping surfaces free of excessive silt). Manufacturer warranties on specific products—such as resin systems or grid components—also apply where relevant and will be supplied in writing.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a smooth contemporary look, and practical grass or gravel grids for greener parking. Porous concrete is available for robust, modern hardstanding, while drainage integration can be added for tricky levels. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, parking needs, maintenance preferences and budget, then provide samples where possible.
