Wimbledon homes deserve driveways that perform as well as they look—especially with heavier downpours. We design SuDS-friendly surfaces that let water soak through, rather than running into the street. Whether you’re near Wimbledon Village or close to the All England Lawn Tennis Club, we’ll create a driveway that suits the setting and protects your frontage. Expect clean lines, tidy edges, and drainage that behaves in real weather.
In SW19 and SW20 you’ll find large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas, and exclusive modern homes with varied plot sizes and access constraints. We tailor levels, edging and water management to protect period brickwork, basements, and garden walls. For wider front gardens we can incorporate turning space and discreet soakaways; for tighter driveways we optimise falls and permeable build-ups. The result fits the architecture and avoids the common issues of puddling and silt washout.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check, and a clear drainage plan before any digging begins. We install the correct permeable sub-base, specify proven systems, and keep the site safe and tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, document compliance, and finish to a premium standard. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury—around 20 minutes away—so aftercare is straightforward.
Wimbledon plots often mix clay-heavy ground with mature trees, so we design sub-bases and soakaways to cope with slower infiltration and root zones. Parking and access can be tight around Wimbledon Park and South Wimbledon, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. We also account for level changes on sloping drives and protect neighbouring boundaries. If council guidance applies, we’ll steer you through it and keep the build compliant.

Costs vary by size, access, ground conditions and finish. As a guide in Wimbledon, permeable block paving often starts around £120–£180 per m², resin bound is commonly £90–£160 per m², and gravel grids are usually £60–£110 per m². Soakaways, excavation and drainage design can add £800–£3,500+ depending on capacity and depth. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 3–7 working days for an average driveway, including excavation, sub-base build-up and surfacing. Larger Victorian frontages in SW19, complex level changes, or added soakaway systems can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on access for machinery, waste removal, and curing time for resin bound surfaces. We confirm a programme in advance and keep you updated daily.
Many front driveways are permitted development, particularly when you use a permeable surface or direct water to a suitable soakaway within your property. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering access/kerbs, or if drainage would discharge to the highway. We check the London Borough of Merton guidance, assess your site, and advise what’s required before work starts. If needed, we can support drawings and compliance notes.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation defects, including issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction, poor edging restraint, or drainage failures linked to our design and build. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties depending on the product selected. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance (for example, keeping permeable joints free from heavy silt). We explain care requirements at handover.
You can choose permeable block paving for a classic look, resin bound for a seamless premium finish, or gravel grids for a softer, traditional driveway that stays stable. We also design discreet soakaways, linear detailing where appropriate, and edging in stone, kerb blocks or brick to match your property. For suds compliant driveways wimbledon area homeowners often prefer colours that complement Victorian brick and modern render. We bring samples and propose layouts that suit parking needs and drainage performance.
