What this
service includes.

Paving is as much about what happens under the surface as the stone you see. We set out levels, prepare a properly compacted base, deal with water and then lay to tight, consistent joints.

Block paving, granite cobble, slabs and large format paving — we work with the material that suits the property, the access and the way the area will be used.

  • New driveways
  • Patios and seating areas
  • Garden and side paths
  • Paved entrances and courtyards
  • Cobble, block and slab paving
  • Kerbs, edging and border courses
  • Repairs and restoration of existing paving
  • Clean-up and finishing

Why preparation matters.

  • Levels and falls

    Set out first so surface water runs where it should, away from buildings and doorways.

  • A compacted base

    Excavation and a properly compacted sub-base are what stop sinking, rutting and movement later on.

  • Edge restraint

    Firm kerbs and edging hold the paving together and keep lines crisp under vehicle traffic.

Real projects.
