The Work

Gravel Driveways & Patios You Can Trust in Kennington

Gravel Driveways & Patios across Kennington and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Kennington address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.

Kennington's Georgian squares and terraces suit a gravel driveway or patio particularly well, a traditional finish that sits naturally against period properties, done properly with a real sub-base underneath.

Whatever the area, the first step is the same: someone comes and looks at it properly, tells you what it needs, and gives you a price in writing before any work starts.

We cover Kennington (SE11) and the surrounding streets.

  • A look at the area on site before any price is given
  • Excavation and a properly compacted sub-base
  • Edging to keep the gravel contained
  • Weed membrane laid before the gravel goes down
  • Gravel or shingle laid to the correct depth

What We Do

How Gravel Driveways & Patios Work in Kennington, Step by Step

1

You call or send the form

Tell us the address and roughly what you're looking for. A photo from your phone saves a lot of guessing.

2

We come and look

Size, ground condition and drainage decide the price, so it gets seen rather than described. You get the price in writing.

3

We excavate and prepare

The area is dug out and a proper sub-base laid and compacted.

4

Edging and membrane go in

Edging keeps the gravel contained, and a weed membrane goes down before the stone.

5

The gravel is laid and finished

Spread and levelled to the right depth, and the site left tidy.

Driveways

Gravel Driveway Installers in Kennington

A gravel driveway in Kennington needs proper groundwork, excavated, a compacted sub-base, then edged before the gravel goes down, chosen to suit the period property above it.

Patios

Gravel Patios in Kennington

A gravel patio in Kennington gives a traditional finish that sits well against Georgian architecture. The groundwork matters just as much as on a driveway.

Shingle

Shingle Driveways in Kennington

Shingle is a rounder, smoother stone than angular gravel, and often suits period properties particularly well. We can lay either in Kennington.

The Price

How Much Does a Gravel Driveway or Patio Cost in Kennington?

The size of the area, the ground underneath, and how it drains all decide the price, and none of that can be judged from a description. So every job is quoted on site, free and with no obligation.

  • Georgian properties in Kennington sometimes carry conservation area considerations, which we check before booking work in.
  • The size of the driveway or patio.
  • The condition of the ground and whether it drains well.
  • Whether edging is needed to contain the gravel.
  • The type and colour of gravel or shingle chosen.

Why Choose Us

Why Kennington calls us back

  • The price comes after we have seen it

    The size of the area, the ground underneath, and how it drains all decide the price, and none of that can be judged from a description. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing.

  • We finish the job the same day we start it

    Excavation, sub-base, edging and the gravel itself are all done in one visit, not spread across a second trip.

  • Trees and grounds from one team

    The same crew that clears an overgrown corner can lay a gravel driveway on it, or lay turf alongside a new gravel patio. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one project.

  • You are told when something is a bad idea

    Gravel laid straight onto bare soil without a proper sub-base sinks and weeds through within a season. Where a shortcut will not last, we say so before quoting, not after.

  • You do not pay until you are happy with it

    No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.

FAQs

Kennington gravel driveways & patios questions

How deep does the gravel need to be?

Enough to properly cover the sub-base and stay put underfoot, usually somewhere in the region of 50mm, though it depends on the stone size and how the area is used. We'll specify the right depth for Kennington once we've seen the job.

Do I need edging?

Almost always, yes. Without a proper edge, gravel migrates onto the lawn, the path, or the road, and keeps needing topping up. Edging keeps it contained and looking sharp.

Will the gravel need topping up over time?

A little, eventually, especially on a driveway that sees regular car traffic. A well-built base with the right depth of stone keeps this to a minimum.

How does gravel compare to other driveway or patio surfaces?

Gravel is more affordable than resin or block paving, drains well, and is straightforward to repair if it settles. It needs occasional topping up and is less suited to very steep slopes. We'll talk through what actually suits your space rather than pushing one option.

How much does a gravel driveway or patio cost?

Cost depends on the size of the area, the ground condition and the type of gravel chosen, so we don't quote a figure without seeing the job. We'll give you a free price in writing before any work starts.

Is the quote free?

Yes. Someone comes and looks at the area and gives you a price in writing, with no obligation.
