Sanderstead’s leafy streets and sloping plots can send rainwater straight towards the road if a driveway isn’t designed properly. Our SuDS solutions manage runoff at source using permeable surfaces and properly sized soakaways. Whether you’re near Sanderstead Recreation Ground or heading towards Hamsey Green, we create driveways that look sharp and perform in heavy downpours. Every scheme is tailored to your frontage, levels and access.
We regularly work across CR2 on large detached houses, executive homes and character period properties where a driveway needs to complement the architecture. Many homes around Purley, Selsdon and Sanderstead benefit from wider entrances, turning circles and discreet drainage details. We match materials and edging to brickwork, render and traditional boundary walls. The result is a driveway that feels original to the property, not an afterthought.
Our process starts with a site survey, falls assessment and drainage design, followed by a clear written specification. We install the correct sub-base build-up, geotextiles and permeable layers, then finish with your chosen surface and neat detailing. You’ll get tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and documentation to support compliance where needed. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent standards and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Sanderstead sites often have clay-heavy ground and varied levels, so infiltration and falls must be calculated carefully. We design soakaways and permeable build-ups to suit local conditions and avoid water tracking towards the highway. Access and parking constraints on residential roads are planned into deliveries and waste removal. Our suds compliant driveways in London Borough of Croydon are set out to meet local expectations and protect neighbouring properties.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and the surface you choose. As a guide in CR2, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound around £90–£150 per m² (on a suitable permeable base), and gravel grid systems around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, edging, steps and gates can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most installations take 4–10 working days, depending on driveway size and complexity. A straightforward gravel grid drive can be quicker, while permeable paving with multiple levels, steps or retaining edges takes longer. Timescales are affected by excavation volume, skip placement, curing time for resin, and whether a soakaway system is required. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many front driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or drains to a suitable permeable area within your boundary. If you’re using an impermeable finish without proper drainage, or if your property has restrictions (such as conservation considerations or specific planning conditions), permission may be needed. We advise on compliant options and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our driveway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, settlement caused by installation defects, and drainage performance where built to our specification. Surface materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty excludes damage from heavy vehicles beyond design load, ground movement outside our control, or lack of routine maintenance. We explain care requirements at handover.
Popular choices include permeable block paving in contemporary or traditional patterns, resin bound gravel for a seamless premium look, and gravel stabilisation grids for a natural finish. We can add contrasting edgings, kerbs, recessed manhole covers, and subtle lighting routes. Drainage design is integrated from the start, including soakaway sizing and falls. We’ll bring samples and help you choose colours and textures that suit your home and frontage.
