Local gravel driveway installation in Barnet

Anyone living or working in Barnet knows the area: Barnet is an old market town on London's northern edge at the end of the Northern line, with a historic high street, green belt around it and mostly family housing. We work right across it, from Whetstone to Totteridge.

If you are looking for gravel driveway installation in Barnet, you are in the right place. Our customers include homeowners, landlords and small developers throughout Greater London, and every job is given a fixed price first so there are no surprises.

The property mix in Barnet is mainly Victorian and Edwardian houses, inter-war semis and detached homes, so each quote takes into account the building, parking and access and timing.

Plenty of Barnet driveways sit on ground that ranges from free-draining to heavy clay, so the sub-base depth is set after the ground is dug rather than guessed.

Homeowners in Barnet often ask for a block-paved apron at the pavement edge with gravel behind, which keeps stones off the footway.

Do I need planning permission for a gravel driveway?

In England, a new or replacement front driveway of any size does not normally need planning permission if it uses a permeable surface such as gravel. Planning permission is needed for an impermeable surface over 5 square metres that drains onto the road. Flats, maisonettes, listed buildings and properties covered by an Article 4 Direction or other restriction may need permission, and the rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check with your local council if unsure.

  • Find out if you need a dropped kerb and contact your highway authority early if so

  • Ask each installer how deep they will dig and what sub-base depth they will lay
  • Confirm the gravel type, size and finished depth in writing
