Grounddown Construction provides professional driveway services across South London, helping property owners create strong, practical and attractive outdoor spaces. From the first discussion to the final finish, our team keeps the work organised, transparent and focused on quality.












A well-built driveway does more than create parking space. It improves aesthetic appeal, supports daily access and adds long-term value to your property. Our experienced team works with a range of driveway surfaces, including resin, block paving, tarmac and gravel driveways, giving each customer clear advice based on the layout, use and condition of the site.
We understand that driveway work can feel like a major project for any homeowner. That is why we focus on clear planning, fair guidance and solid workmanship at every stage. Our services cover new installations, repairs and upgrades, with careful attention given to drainage, surface preparation, materials and the final appearance of the driveway.

"Alick and his team were fantastic. He gave me a competitive quote and did a top job! The lads were considerate and quick , keeping me informed and up to date with what was happening. I work from home with people coming and going and felt this could be an inconvenience, but Mitchell and the boys helped in anyway needed. I now have a lovely resin drive! I couldn’t recommend a better company!"

Here are the key reasons customers choose us for driveways in South London:
With Grounddown Construction, you are choosing a contractor that understands the importance of reliable service, solid workmanship and clear communication. We manage each driveway with the same level of care we would expect for our own property. If you are ready to improve access, parking and the overall look of your home, contact our team today and let us help you plan a driveway that works for your space.
Each driveway surface has its own strengths, and the right one depends on how you use the space, how much upkeep you want and the style of your house. During the initial consultation, we talk you through the surface types side by side so you can decide with a clear idea of cost, lifespan and appearance.
Resin bound driveways give you a smooth, permeable finish that drains naturally and is very low maintenance. They come in a wide range of colours, so it is easy to choose a shade that suits your front door, windows and brickwork.
Block paving is still one of the most popular choices for family homes. It is hard wearing, and individual blocks can be lifted and relaid if a section ever needs attention. For period properties, we also lay clay paving, as its natural tones sit far better against older brick than standard concrete blocks.
Tarmac driveways work well for longer drives, sloped entrances and households with several cars. They are quick to lay, durable under heavy use and one of the most cost-effective options we offer. Once sealed and finished with proper kerb edging, a tarmac surface keeps its shape for years.
If you are paving over more than five square metres of front garden, the new surface must either be permeable or drain into a lawn or flower bed. If it does neither, you will need planning permission from your council. We plan every job around these rules from the start, so you have no issues with Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth or any other borough after the work is done.
Resin bound and permeable block paving both meet these requirements on their own. For tarmac and standard paving, we fit channel drains or soakaways to handle surface water. If you also need a dropped kerb, that is a separate application to your council’s highways team, and we are happy to give you expert advice on the process.
We are a family run business, and much of our work across South London and the South East comes through recommendations and returning customers. Plenty of homeowners ask us back for patios, fencing, landscaping and other hard landscaping once their driveway is complete, which tells us we are getting the job right.
We use premium materials from trusted suppliers and keep our prices competitive by carrying out every stage with our own team. We take pride in leaving each site clean, safe and tidy at the end of every working day, and in holding every driveway to a high standard however large or small the project is.
We are fully insured, and every driveway we install is fully guaranteed. We never ask for a deposit before work starts, and payment is only due once you are completely happy with the result.
