Heavy downpours can overwhelm older drainage, especially around Epsom Downs and the routes leading towards Epsom Downs Racecourse. Our SuDS driveway solutions keep water on your plot, letting it soak through rather than running into the road. From permeable block paving to resin bound finishes, we build driveways that meet modern drainage expectations. The result is a cleaner, safer entrance with less standing water and fewer puddles by the kerb.
Epsom homeowners often want a driveway that complements large detached houses, period properties and executive homes while still meeting SuDS rules. We regularly work across KT17, KT18 and KT19, tailoring levels, edging and falls to suit wider plots and sloping front gardens. In areas such as Ewell and Stoneleigh, we also account for shared access, existing crossovers and tight turning circles. You get a design that looks right for the property and performs in wet weather.
We start with a site survey, check existing drainage routes and propose a SuDS-compliant build-up with clear drawings and specifications. Our team handles excavation, sub-base, permeable layers, drainage design and tidy reinstatement, with transparent schedules and minimal disruption. Every installation is quality-checked for levels, compaction and water infiltration. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for dependable workmanship, clean finishes and straightforward communication from start to sign-off.
Across Epsom and Ewell Borough, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and varied gradients that affect infiltration and levels. We design sub-bases, gravel grids and soakaways to match your soil and available space, while keeping access and parking practical. Where properties sit close to the pavement, we plan falls carefully to avoid water tracking onto the highway. If required, we align the design with local council expectations for permeable surfacing and drainage.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth and the surface you choose. As a guide, permeable block paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², resin bound surfaces around £100–£160 per m², and gravel grid systems about £60–£110 per m². Soakaways and drainage design can add roughly £800–£2,500+ depending on capacity and access. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–10 working days once work begins, depending on driveway size and complexity. A simple gravel grid drive can be quicker, while permeable paving or resin bound systems with new edging, steps or retaining work can take longer. Timescales are affected by excavation volume, spoil removal access, curing times, and any soakaway installation. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. Planning permission may be needed if you propose an impermeable surface with runoff to the highway, or if your property has specific restrictions (such as conservation considerations). We’ll advise on the safest compliant approach, design the drainage accordingly, and help you understand what Epsom and Ewell Borough Council is likely to expect.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our SuDS driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as poor levels, inadequate compaction, or edge restraint failures. Materials are supplied with manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain these at quotation stage. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also provide aftercare guidance to keep the surface performing well.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or period-friendly colours, resin bound stone blends for a seamless finish, and gravel grids for a natural look with strong load support. We can incorporate contrasting borders, kerb edgings, lighting ducts, and channel details where needed, while keeping the system SuDS compliant. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, parking needs, maintenance preferences, and the drainage performance required for your plot.
