Sevenoaks homes deserve driveways that cope with heavy downpours without sending water onto the road or into neighbouring gardens. We build surfaces that meet SuDS requirements while enhancing kerb appeal, whether you’re near Knole House or commuting via TN13. Expect considered drainage design, neat detailing and finishes that suit executive homes as well as character properties.
Across Riverhead, Dunton Green and Otford, we regularly work on large detached houses, period properties and modern executive builds with wide front gardens and sloping approaches. These plots often need careful levels, thresholds and water management to protect garages and entrances. Our team specifies permeable systems that suit the look of Kent brickwork, traditional boundary walls and contemporary architecture alike.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then propose a SuDS-led design with clear options and costs. Installation is handled by our in-house specialists with tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and full waste removal. Homeowners choose us for transparent advice, planning compliance support and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
In the Sevenoaks District, clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots can affect infiltration and excavation depths, especially around older plots. We adapt sub-base build-ups, edging and soakaway placement to suit access constraints and on-street parking near Sevenoaks High Street. For TN14 and TN15 properties with longer driveways, we plan falls and permeable zones to keep water on-site and away from the highway.

Costs vary with size, excavation depth, access and the SuDS system required. As a guide in the suds compliant driveways Sevenoaks area, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound around £90–£150 per m², and gravel grids around £60–£110 per m². Soakaways and drainage design can add £800–£3,000+ depending on testing and capacity.
Most projects take 3–10 working days from excavation to finish, depending on driveway size and the chosen surface. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is prepared, while permeable paving is more labour-intensive. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, the need for a soakaway, and weather. We provide a clear programme and keep disruption to parking as low as possible.
Often, front-garden driveways are permitted development if the surface is permeable or water is directed to a permeable area within your boundary.

Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial vehicle use, or lack of maintenance (such as blocked permeable joints). We explain care requirements at handover.
