Gravel driveway installation across Croydon and Greater London

If you are living or working in Croydon knows the area: Croydon is a large south London town centre with office blocks, a major shopping area and fast rail links to central London, surrounded by busy residential suburbs of very mixed housing. We work right across it, from Thornton Heath to Shirley.

If you need gravel driveway installation in Croydon, we can help. We work with homeowners, landlords and small developers across Greater London, and every job is given a fixed price first so there are no surprises.

Local buildings are largely Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern town-centre flats, so we price every job around the property, parking and access and when you need it done.

Sloping drives are common in parts of Greater London, and gravel grids help keep the stone in place on those gradients.

Re-gravelling tired drives in Croydon is often quicker and cheaper than owners expect when the base underneath is still sound.

What postcodes do you cover in Croydon?

Are gravel grids worth it?

Usually, yes, on sloped drives, busy drives and anywhere you want to stop gravel spreading onto the pavement or into the house. Grids hold the stones in cells so they cannot rut or migrate, and they make the surface firmer for walking, wheelchairs and buggies. They add to the cost, typically around £20 to £50 per square metre.

Before you book: a quick Croydon checklist

  • Measure the drive roughly and note what is there now, such as lawn, concrete, tarmac or old gravel
  • Check whether your property is a flat, listed, or in an area with an Article 4 Direction, which can affect planning
  • Find out if you need a dropped kerb and contact your highway authority early if so
  • Note any slopes, puddles or areas that stay wet after rain
  • Ask each installer how deep they will dig and what sub-base depth they will lay
