Driveways in Kingston upon Thames

A driveway is the first thing visitors see, and the part of your property you use every single day. It is also a piece of engineering: it needs to take the weight of vehicles, drain properly, comply with SuDS regulations and look beautifully resolved against the architecture of the house.

Our Kingston driveway projects begin with a measured survey, a design that respects the proportions and materials of the house, and a fully engineered build specification — sub-base, edgings, drainage and surfacing all considered as one system.

For period Kingston homes we often specify reclaimed clay pavers, granite setts or a traditional gravel surface with a stabilising sub-base. For contemporary properties, resin-bound aggregate in considered colours sits beautifully against modern facades and provides a seamless, low-maintenance surface.

All of our driveway surfaces meet current SuDS permeability requirements so rainwater drains naturally back into the ground rather than into the stormwater system.

We see far too many Kingston driveways that have failed inside five years because the sub-base was undersized or the drainage was wrong. We engineer every driveway as a proper civils job: deep MOT type 1 sub-base, geotextile membranes, set falls, ACO drainage and engineered edgings — so the surface stays true for the long term.

All driveways are completed with a written workmanship guarantee.
