Expert driveway renovation services in Wimbledon, SW19. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Merton.
Big houses tend to come with big driveways, and out here the drive does a lot of the work on kerb appeal. We renovate them in good materials with a bit of thought behind the layout, so the approach matches the house.
The detached and semi detached houses on Copse Hill, Marryat Road and around the Village often have curved drives, double garages and turning circles, so there is a lot of surface to cover. We tend to mix natural stone, resin bound gravel and block paving, using the different materials to mark out parking, circulation and planting.
On the period houses we pick materials that sit well with Edwardian and 1930s brick and tile. Warm sandstone, red clay pavers, honey coloured gravel. On the more modern properties we go the other way, sawn granite, smooth resin bound aggregate and clean boundary walls.
A lot of these jobs also take in a new garage door, automated gates, EV charging and a proper drainage upgrade. We look at the whole front of the house, from the gate pillars to the planting either side of the path, so it all pulls together into a proper entrance.
Because the properties are larger, the drives tend to be substantial, and their condition really shows in how a house presents. Merton Council wants permeable surfaces on any new or enlarged driveway, and there can be extra requirements inside the Wimbledon Village Conservation Area.
A new drive is one of the highest impact, least disruptive jobs you can do to a house here. The front is the first thing anyone sees, and a good driveway makes an immediate impression.
“They took our tired old drive and turned it into a proper entrance, Indian sandstone, automated gates and EV charging for two cars. The planting down the side is lovely too. We are genuinely proud of how the house looks from the road now.”
