Heavy downpours can overwhelm traditional driveways, sending water towards the road and drains. Our SuDS solutions keep rainfall on your property and release it safely through permeable layers and soakaways. We regularly work around Mitcham Common and the CR4 streets where parking space is precious and runoff needs controlling. The result is a smarter driveway that performs in wet weather without compromising kerb appeal.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two front gardens are the same. We design layouts that suit narrow access, shared crossovers and sloping plots, especially around Pollards Hill and Figges Marsh. Whether you need a wider entrance for family cars or a neat single bay, we match materials, edging and levels to the style of your home. Every design is built around drainage first, then finished for a premium look.
We start with a site survey, checking fall, existing drainage and the best SuDS approach for your plot. You’ll receive a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, permeable layers and any soakaway system required. Our team keeps the site tidy, protects pathways and neighbours’ access, and works to agreed timescales. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Merton can vary from compacted clay to made-up ground, which affects infiltration and sub-base design. We assess levels and falls carefully on Mitcham’s mixed streets, where dropped kerbs, shared driveways and on-street parking can complicate access. Our drainage design prioritises safe runoff control, robust edge restraints and neat transitions to pavements. If needed, we coordinate sensible solutions that suit council expectations and your property’s layout.

Most suds compliant driveways Mitcham area projects take around 3–7 working days for a typical front driveway, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Larger areas, significant excavation, or added features such as soakaway systems, steps, retaining edges or complex patterns can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Resin bound installations can be quicker once the base is prepared, but curing times and rain can affect scheduling.
In many cases, front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or water drains to a permeable area within your boundary.

Rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, new crossovers, or where levels and drainage affect the highway. We check the requirements and design to meet planning and SuDS guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our SuDS driveway installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor compaction, and problems linked to incorrect falls or edge restraint installation.
