Paving

Does paving feature in your garden landscaping plan?

Are you thinking of creating or extending a patio?

Or refurbishing your garden paths?

Our professionally installed paving could be the perfect solution!

With so many uses and so many different types of paving out there, you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the ideal external surface.

Whether you are redesigning your whole garden or want a stunning solid foundation for your family gatherings, the right kind of outdoor paving will undoubtedly bring extra kerb appeal to your property and add to its value.

Which paving is best?

This depends on what you want your paving to do. What kind of area you are covering and, of course, your budget. Indian sandstone and Yorkshire Stone have long been firm favourites for a stunning garden transformation. Ageless. Easy to maintain. Durable enough for resurfacing any size area from narrow footpaths to large patio areas and driveways. Even for commercial or retail premises. Because it’s just as important to welcome customers and staff to your business, as much as visitors to your home.

Porcelain

In recent years, we have noticed that porcelain paving is becoming more popular. For a slightly different look, combined with natural materials, outdoor porcelain paving flags are a fabulous modern alternative to natural stone. They’re slip-resistant (R11 slip rating) and incredibly hardwearing.
There’s no need to panic about food spillages or red wine splashes. Porcelain absorbs very little moisture and is known for its stain resistance. Even the busiest porcelain patio will see you through many summer parties to come.
Worried about it cracking in the winter? Don’t be. Because one final thing about porcelain paving is that it is frost resistant too.
With a wide range of colours, there is a porcelain tile to suit every garden design. Whether it's a more monochrome scheme of black or white or a warmer shade of cream, grey, or brown that you like, your decision will be based on the overall look you are trying to achieve and we can help you with that. We offer a full sampling service across our paving and decking ranges. If we don't have the exact product you're looking for, we'll do our best to source it for you!
Whether you'd like a smooth or textured surface or you want a matt or gloss finish, there's a tile for that! People are often surprised by the wide range of exterior porcelain that's available. From square to rectangular to wood effect planks, we can source them all.

One size or a multiple-sized pattern? There's a tile for that too! Whether your vision features a single-sized square or rectangular tile, a long wooden effect plank, or a multiple-sized option, we'll work with you to bring your ideas to life. An increasing trend we're seeing is a smaller patterned tile incorporated into a larger design. This gives a 'rug' effect within your patio to highlight a seating or dining area of your garden.

Indian Sandstone

A popular choice among homeowners in the UK, Indian Sandstone offers a colourful range of textures and sizes. Styled to suit you, Indian Sandstone can be laid in an eye-catching multiple-size pattern or a linear pattern in one or more sizes.
Being a completely natural product, no two pieces of sandstone are the same. Some of the paving may contain fossils or darker veins, making them even more unique, and if you're not seeing the different shades in the sunlight, wait until it rains! The water really brings out the amazing colour tones.
Easy to maintain, long-lasting, and hard-wearing, your sandstone patio will last for years to come. As with any paving, a regular sweep to keep debris and weeds at bay will keep your paving looking impressive all year round.
With so many stunning colours to choose from, Indian Sandstone paving gives you much more than one colour for your new patio! On a sunny, dry day, you'll see pastel tones. Yet on a wet Autumn or Winter day, the colour tones will really pop, and you'll see the fossils and veins start to appear. We have samples of all colours so you can make a decision right there in your garden.
