Define the entrance and create useful outdoor space around the features you value. Our Chobham surveys bring paving, paths, drainage and retained boundaries together before the installation specification is agreed.

CHOBHAM
Defined entrances and useful garden spaces
For a Chobham frontage, a carefully defined entrance can be more effective than a larger expanse of paving. The relationship between a gate, an existing wall or hedge and the approach to the house gives the layout its shape. We look at the features you want to keep before proposing changes to the driveway or path.
Surrey Heath’s official conservation list includes Chobham Village. The council has also announced adoption of the Chobham Neighbourhood Plan 2024–2038, which addresses subjects including parking, flooding, heritage and local green spaces. These are useful reasons to check the property’s setting and planning position early, rather than treating the village as a single unrestricted paving site.
Natural setts can be considered for a border, apron or entrance feature, with block paving, porcelain or sandstone used elsewhere according to the design. We compare how the materials meet the existing house and boundaries, as well as how they will be used. A narrow path, a car-turning area and a rear dining terrace each need a different practical specification.
Rainwater should be considered across the complete scheme. Retaining planting does not automatically provide sufficient drainage, and an outlet cannot simply be assumed because a ditch or drain is nearby. At the survey, we establish the levels and discuss a suitable route for water. The resulting quote identifies the preparation, chosen finish and agreed installation sequence, with any tree, boundary or access checks brought to your attention before work is arranged.
Compare the contrast between the patterned centre and straight edge courses in this Sunningdale installation. A Chobham entrance can use borders to define parking while retaining the surrounding features.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Checks for your Chobham property
Read the Chobham neighbourhood guidance alongside the property’s conservation, tree and access constraints. A retained planted strip must actually be suitable for the proposed drainage. Before work begins, resolve any necessary permissions for boundaries, outlets or a vehicle crossing.
Can natural setts be used without paving the entire drive in them?+
Yes. They can be considered for an entrance, border or other defined feature. The interfaces and construction should suit the intended traffic and the rest of the paving.
What local planning information matters in Chobham?+
Check the Chobham Village conservation boundary and the neighbourhood plan alongside the property’s individual restrictions. Protected trees, listed features, boundaries and vehicle access may need separate attention.
How soon will I hear back after enquiring?+
We reply to all enquiries within 24 hours, whether you are planning a small path or a larger driveway and patio scheme.
