DRIVEWAYS
Driveways in South London
Driveways and entrance spaces planned to complement the property, manage everyday use and create a considered first impression.
A driveway designed around the home
The driveway is one of the first parts of a property that visitors see. Its surface, borders, walls, steps and relationship with the façade should feel coordinated rather than added as separate elements.
Brick Stone Projects considers the architecture, colours, access, existing levels, drainage requirements and intended use before developing the entrance. This design-led approach helps create a practical surface and a frontage that belongs with the house.
Driveway work can include
- Site excavation and preparation
- Resin-bound surfaces
- Permeable block paving
- Cobble and block edging
- Entrance pathways
- Boundary walls
- Steps and level transitions
- Drainage and finishing works
Two driveway approaches, selected for the project
Resin-bound driveways
A smooth contemporary finish that can be coordinated with cobble edging, rendered walls, metalwork and entrance steps.
Permeable block paving
A block paved surface designed to allow water to drain through the paving system, with colours selected to suit the property.
The whole entrance matters
A coordinated frontage can extend beyond the driveway surface to include walls, pathways, steps, borders and bespoke details.
Walls and metalwork
K Rend boundary walls and bespoke metal trellis panels were coordinated with the monochrome Beckenham property.
Entrance steps
Custom-cut bullnose steps created a refined transition between the Beckenham driveway and front door.
Period details
Yorkstone and Victorian mosaic detailing connected the Dulwich driveway with the traditional character of the house.
