Kennington streets around The Oval and Kennington Park see heavy downpours and fast surface run-off, especially where front gardens have been paved over. Our SuDS-compliant driveway solutions are designed to let water soak through rather than rush into the drains. We create attractive, hard-wearing finishes that suit SE11 homes while meeting modern drainage expectations. The result is a driveway that performs in bad weather and elevates the frontage.
From Georgian townhouses near the Georgian squares to Victorian terraces and mansion blocks closer to Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle, access and levels vary widely. We regularly work with narrow frontages, basement lightwells, and shared paths where careful detailing matters. Our team understands how to integrate permeable surfaces without compromising period character. If you need suds compliant driveways Kennington area homeowners can rely on, we tailor the build to your property type and layout.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear drainage plan, then recommend the most suitable permeable build-up. Installations are carried out with tidy working practices, clear scheduling and proper sub-base preparation for long-term stability. You’ll receive straightforward guidance on planning compliance and maintenance. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we deliver consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many driveways sit on compacted ground with mixed made-up layers from older landscaping. We design for tight access, controlled spoil removal and considerate neighbour boundaries typical of Kennington terraces. Where levels fall towards the house, we incorporate soakaway systems or discreet channel details to protect thresholds. Our approach suits suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Lambeth, balancing appearance with drainage performance.

Costs vary with size, access, excavation depth and the chosen surface. As a guide in SE11, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound systems typically £110–£170 per m², and gravel grids can be £70–£120 per m². Soakaways, drainage design and waste removal can add £800–£2,500+ depending on complexity. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for a typical London front garden, including excavation, sub-base, edging and surfacing. Larger driveways or complex drainage design (such as soakaway systems, level changes or steps) can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, parking suspensions, weather, curing times for resin, and whether old concrete or deep sub-bases need removal. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Often, front garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a permeable area within your boundary. Non-permeable finishes that discharge to the highway or public drains may require planning permission. Lambeth rules can also be influenced by conservation areas, listed buildings, or works affecting boundary walls and trees. We check your site, advise on compliant materials and drainage, and can support with planning information where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, edging stability and surface integrity when used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific products such as resin systems or paving components. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, oil/chemical spills, or issues caused by third-party alterations or ground movement outside the installed footprint. We explain care requirements at handover.
Popular options include permeable block paving for a traditional look, resin bound surfaces for a smooth contemporary finish, and gravel grids for a classic, low-glare frontage. We can also integrate contrasting borders, step details, recessed manhole covers and planting breaks to suit Georgian and Victorian façades. After assessing levels and usage (parking, bikes, bins), we recommend the most suitable build-up and finish, plus drainage features such as soakaways where required.
