Terraces, semis and bigger plots
Shirley, Portswood and Bitterne are full of Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, where the job is often fitting a car into a narrow front garden. Bassett, Highfield and Chilworth have larger houses with long drives and big back gardens.

Local know-how
Clay and gravel under Southampton
Southampton sits on a mix of clay and old river gravel, and you can find both in the same street. Gravel drains well. Clay holds water and swells and shrinks with the seasons, so on clay we dig deeper and plan where the rainwater goes before anything is laid.

FAQs
Southampton questions answered
Is my front garden in Southampton big enough for a drive?
It needs to fit a car without it overhanging the pavement, and the council will look at that when you apply for a dropped kerb. We measure it at the visit and tell you honestly if it works.
Which parts of Southampton do you cover?
All of the city, SO14 to SO19, including Shirley, Portswood, Highfield, Bassett, Bitterne, Sholing and Woolston, plus Chilworth and the edges of Eastleigh.
What is the best low-maintenance garden for a city house?
A porcelain patio with artificial grass or gravel beds is the lowest upkeep. Porcelain does not stain or grow moss easily, and artificial grass needs no mowing.
Planning and permissions in Southampton
Most of Southampton is covered by Southampton City Council, which also handles dropped kerbs. On narrow frontages, the council will want enough depth for a car to park without blocking the pavement, so we measure that before we design the drive.
The national rules are in our driveway planning permission guide, and typical prices are in the driveway cost guide.
