SUDS Compliant Off-Street Parking for Raynes Park Homes
Off-street parking is a valuable asset for Raynes Park properties, particularly along busy thoroughfares like Grand Drive, Bushey Road, West Barnes Lane, and Coombe Lane. Upgrading a tired front garden or worn asphalt driveway into a precision block-paved or resin-bound surface enhances kerb appeal while providing secure parking for multiple vehicles.
Because SW20 rests on dense London clay, driveway foundations must carry heavy vehicle loads (including SUVs and electric vehicles) without rutting or sinking. At The Tree Amigos Landscaping & Gardening Ltd, we excavate 200–250mm, lay geo-grid subgrade reinforcement membranes, compact deep MOT sub-bases, and incorporate Merton Council SUDS drainage compliance (permeable materials or Aco channels into soakaways) to ensure your driveway lasts for decades without needing planning permission.
Why Raynes Park Homeowners Choose Our Driveways
Heavy Vehicle Sub-Bases
200-250mm deep excavation with geotextile grid reinforcement and 150-200mm MOT Type 1 aggregate engineered for daily vehicle traffic.
100% SUDS Compliant
Permeable resin-bound aggregate and porous block systems drain rainwater naturally into the water table, eliminating planning permission delays.

Classic Tegula, Marshalls block paving, and natural granite kerb edging laid on kiln-dried sand with concrete haunching restraints.
UV-Stable Resin Bound
Sourced washed natural quartz and granite aggregate bound with clear UV-resistant polyurethane resin that never discolours under sunlight.

150-200mm of MOT Type 1 crushed stone is spread and compacted in layers, installing Aco channels and soakaways where necessary.
