Hayes has a distinctive semi-rural feel, with wide plots and mature greenery around Hayes Common and West Common. When heavy rain hits, traditional sealed driveways can push water towards the highway and gullies. Our SuDS approach keeps water on your property and releases it safely through permeable layers. The result is a driveway that performs in all seasons without compromising on finish.
We regularly work on large detached houses, period cottages and 1930s properties across BR2, including routes towards West Wickham and Bromley Common. These homes often have older front gardens, mixed levels and established planting that needs careful protection. We design layouts that suit wider vehicles, turning circles and discreet bin/bike storage. Every scheme is tailored so the driveway complements brickwork, boundary walls and existing paths.
Fine Landscaping handles everything: site survey, drainage design, sub-base build-up and compliant surface installation. We set falls accurately, specify the correct aggregates and install soakaway systems where required. You’ll get clear written scope, tidy working practices and a finish that’s built to last. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, drainage requirements and the chosen finish. As a guide, gravel grid systems often start around £80–£130 per m², while permeable block paving is commonly £120–£200 per m². Resin bound surfaces typically fall between £140–£230 per m². If a new soakaway or extensive groundworks are needed, allow extra. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–7 working days once the design is agreed, depending on area and complexity. Smaller driveways with straightforward excavation and a gravel grid finish can be completed faster, while permeable paving or resin bound installations may take longer due to sub-base build-up, edging, and curing times. Poor weather, restricted access, and additional drainage features (like soakaways) can extend the schedule. We confirm timings before starting.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. That’s why suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Bromley are a sensible choice for many homeowners. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where levels and highway access are altered. We check the requirements for your address and advise if an application or additional approvals are needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, poor compaction-related settlement, and installation defects. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products (for example, resin systems or paving components) when installed to specification. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care and maintenance to help your driveway perform long term.
You can choose from permeable block paving in traditional or contemporary colours, resin bound surfaces for a smooth, modern look, or gravel grids that keep stone stable and wheelchair-friendly. We also design drainage layers, edge restraints and, where needed, soakaway systems to suit your plot. For 1930s and period homes, we often match tones to brickwork and boundary walls. We’ll bring samples and propose layouts that balance parking, planting and access.
