Paving work we take on
Most paving projects start with a simple question: where do you want to walk, sit or entertain? From there we plan the layout, levels and material to suit the space.
- Natural stone patios and courtyards outside living areas
- Circular and compass-pattern feature paving
- Stepping stones set in lawn or gravel
- Pool surrounds and paved entertaining areas
- Paths linking gates, side passages and garden beds
Why the base matters
Paving tends to fail from underneath. Settling, rocking pavers and puddles usually come back to poor preparation rather than the stone itself.
Peninsula soils vary a lot from sandy coastal ground to heavier clay further inland, so excavation depth, base material and compaction are worked out for each site. Falls are set so water runs away from the house and off the paved area.
Choosing a material
Stone, brick and concrete pavers each have a different look, feel underfoot and maintenance routine. Around pools, slip resistance and heat underfoot are worth thinking about. Near the coast, a material that copes with salt air and sun will age better.
We can talk through options on site and help you choose something that fits your home and budget.
