Raynes Park homeowners often want a driveway that stays usable after heavy rain without constant puddles. Our permeable paving solutions channel water through the surface and into a designed sub-base, rather than pushing it onto the pavement. We regularly work near Raynes Park station and around SW20, where off-street parking and tidy front gardens matter. The result is a clean, practical finish that complements your property and improves drainage performance.
From 1930s semis with wider front drives to Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses with tighter access, we tailor layouts to the plot. Many streets around Wimbledon and West Barnes have mature trees and mixed ground conditions, so we plan for roots, levels and long-term stability. We can also blend new permeable areas with existing paths, steps and edging for a cohesive look. Every design balances kerb appeal with day-to-day practicality.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and drainage assessment, then a clear written scope. We excavate to the correct depth, build a free-draining sub-base, and install the chosen surface with proper edge restraint and tidy detailing. Where needed, we integrate discreet drainage features to manage exceptional downpours. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship, and a finish built to last.
Across the London Borough of Merton, front gardens often slope towards the house or pavement, so levels and falls need careful planning. In Raynes Park, access can be tight and parking restrictions may affect deliveries, so we schedule materials and waste removal efficiently. We also consider local soil conditions and tree cover near green spaces such as Cannon Hill Common. Our approach keeps the site tidy and the finished surface draining as intended.

Costs vary by surface choice, excavation depth, access and how much ground preparation is required. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £110–£160 per m², resin bound is commonly £120–£180 per m², and gravel or grass grids can be £70–£130 per m². Additional items like edging, steps, waste removal and drainage integration can affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most Raynes Park driveway or patio projects take around 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller front drives may be completed in 2–4 days, while larger areas or multi-level gardens can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are influenced by excavation depth, sub-base build, curing time for porous concrete, and weather. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, permeable paving is permitted development for front gardens because it allows water to drain through rather than run onto the highway. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering access/kerbs, or using non-permeable materials with inadequate drainage. We’ll advise on SuDS compliance and check the specifics for your property in the London Borough of Merton, then recommend the safest route before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our permeable paving installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as settlement from improper sub-base preparation or edge restraint failure. The warranty is valid when the surface is used as intended and maintained appropriately (for example, keeping joints and pores clear of silt). Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products like resin systems or grid materials. We explain coverage clearly in writing.
We offer permeable block paving in a range of colours and laying patterns, resin bound finishes for a seamless look, and practical systems like gravel grids and grass grids for greener driveways. Porous concrete is also an option for a clean, contemporary surface. We’ll help you choose based on parking needs, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and how the finish suits your home’s style. Samples and layout visuals can be provided during design.
