Southfields homeowners know how quickly heavy rain can overwhelm older hardstanding. Our permeable surfaces let water soak through safely, helping to reduce standing water around entrances and paths. We regularly work near Southfields tube station and around Wimbledon Park, creating driveways and patios that stay usable year-round. Options include permeable block paving, resin bound, and gravel or grass grids for lighter-touch parking.
The Southfields Grid is full of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and well-kept 1930s semis, each with different levels, thresholds and front garden layouts. We design permeable paving to complement brickwork, bay windows and traditional boundary walls while improving practical access for cars, bikes and bins. For SW18 properties with limited frontage, we plan turning space and edge details carefully to maximise usable parking. If you’re close to Earlsfield, Putney or Wandsworth, we can match styles commonly used across the neighbourhoods.
We start with a site visit, levels survey and a drainage plan, then recommend the best SuDS-friendly build-up for your ground conditions. Every installation includes proper sub-base preparation, robust edging and neat falls, with drainage integration where needed. You’ll get a written specification, transparent staging, and a clean, respectful team on site. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally for consistent finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, driveway rules often focus on how rainwater is managed, so we prioritise SuDS compliance from day one. Southfields streets can mean tight access, resident parking controls and short loading windows, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for mature trees near parks such as King George's Park, using edge restraints and suitable sub-bases to reduce movement. Our detailing is tailored to the frontage proportions typical across SW18.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and drainage requirements. As a guide in SW18, permeable block paving is often around £110–£160 per m², resin bound around £90–£140 per m² (on a suitable permeable base), and gravel or grass grids around £60–£110 per m². Steps, retaining edges, lighting ducts and complex levels can increase the total. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a survey.
Most driveway or front garden permeable paving projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller paths or parking bays can be completed in 1–3 days, while larger areas with multiple levels, steps or extensive excavation may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in Southfields streets, waste removal logistics, and curing times for porous concrete or resin systems. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many driveway and front garden projects are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property. That’s why permeable paving in London Borough of Wandsworth is a popular route for compliant upgrades. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation considerations, boundary alterations, or if you’re changing access/kerbs. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you confirm requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation issues such as sub-base failure, edge restraint movement, and settlement caused by improper preparation. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the chosen system (for example, resin bound or specific permeable blocks). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up where required and avoiding oil spills. You’ll receive warranty details in writing.
You can choose from permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound in natural aggregate blends, porous concrete for a clean modern look, and gravel or grass grids for a softer, greener finish. We also integrate linear drains, soakaway connections where appropriate, and SuDS-compliant sub-bases for flood reduction. We’ll help you pick colours, edging and laying patterns that suit Southfields properties and your parking needs.
