Colliers Wood homeowners are increasingly choosing permeable driveway solutions to manage heavy rainfall and reduce runoff into the River Wandle catchment. Whether you’re near Wandle Park or commuting via South Wimbledon, a well-designed SuDS driveway keeps water where it should be—soaking into the ground, not pooling by your front door. Fine Landscaping installs surfaces that meet modern drainage expectations without compromising kerb appeal. We’ll help you choose the right system for your plot and access.
The Colliers Wood area includes Victorian terraces with compact front gardens, 1930s semis with wider driveways, and modern apartments where shared access needs careful coordination. Each property type benefits from a tailored approach to levels, falls and water storage. We regularly work across SW19, including nearby Tooting and Mitcham, so we understand the practicalities of tight parking and busy streets. Our solutions are designed to be durable, neat, and easy to maintain.
We start with a site survey, check existing drainage, and propose a SuDS-friendly build-up that suits your soil and usage. You’ll receive a clear specification covering permeable paving, resin bound surfaces, gravel grids, soakaways and drainage design as required. Our team works cleanly, protects neighbouring boundaries, and keeps disruption low with a planned schedule. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high-end finishes, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Merton, plots vary from clay-heavy ground to made-up sub-bases from older landscaping. We assess infiltration, set correct falls, and specify storage layers or soakaways where needed. Access in streets around the Tandem Centre can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Our suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Merton are designed to perform in real-world conditions, not just on paper.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, drainage needs and finish. As a guide, gravel grid systems often start around £80–£130 per m², while permeable block paving is typically £120–£180 per m². Resin bound permeable surfacing commonly ranges from £110–£200 per m², depending on base preparation. If a soakaway or additional drainage design is required, allow extra for materials, labour and testing.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical single or double driveway, assuming straightforward access and no major drainage complications. Larger areas, complex levels, or the need for a new soakaway can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Weather can also affect resin curing and groundworks. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
In many cases, driveway works are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your property, which is exactly what SuDS aims to achieve. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering access/kerbs. We check the relevant guidance for the London Borough of Merton, advise on planning compliance, and can help prepare details if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related defects, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or improper falls. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty is valid when the driveway is used as intended and maintained sensibly (for example, keeping permeable joints free from heavy silt build-up). We’ll explain care requirements at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving in contemporary or period styles, resin bound permeable surfacing for a seamless look, and gravel grids for a classic finish with strong stability. We can also integrate soakaway systems, channel details where appropriate, and edging that complements Victorian terraces or 1930s semis. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns and textures that suit your property, budget and parking needs while keeping drainage compliant.
