What the patio laying and driveway installation process involves

Paving project in London - the finished result

Before

After

We will send a surveyor to your property, whom you can discuss your project details and consult with. After that, you’ll receive a no-obligation quote with the price of your enquiry. The paving projects that we do include the following steps:

Ground clearance - The specialists will remove all debris, old pavers or slabs and vegetation after they’ve marked the designated area. If any soil excavation work is needed, it will take place during this stage.
Site preparation - The site will be prepared using professional levelling techniques. The base can be laid only if the soil is firm and compact.
Membrane installation - A weed control membrane is then laid to prevent weeds from coming through in between the slabs.
Subbase installation - A layer of MOT-base is laid on top of the fabric and compacted to ensure that the surface is absolutely even.
Paving - The paving experts will neatly lay the slabs on the completely levelled sub-base. After the necessary drying time has passed, the landscapers will wash the paved area and prepare it for pointing. Once, this job is done, you can enjoy your new patio or driveway.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What are your maintenance tips for my newly installed paved surface?

A: Driveways and patios require regular cleaning a couple of times per year. Hard surfaces can be easily maintained with some pressure washing. This helps to efficiently remove mud, mould, algae and other built-up dirt off your outdoor surfaces.

Q: What type of paving materials do you use?

A: We work with a wide range of high-quality paving slabs that you can choose from, including various types of natural stone - Indian sandstone, limestone, bluestone, granite, etc. You can also order block pavers for your project, which resemble concrete paving bricks that come in various sizes and colours as well.

Q: Do I have to apply for planning permission prior to the paving service?

A: No, that’s not necessary. The paving materials are completely permeable and therefore, can be laid without planning permission. In cases when impermeable slabs are used for your paved area, another permeable surface, such as a lawn, will be used to direct the water for proper drainage.

Q: How do you get rid of weeds between pavers?

A: We always lay a heavy-duty anti-weed membrane as part of the paving area preparation process to prevent weed growth.

Q: How much does it cost to install a patio?

A: Your project price is based on several factors that we take into consideration, such as materials cost, the workload involved and the size of the area that needs paving.

Q: What other services do you offer outdoors?
