Block Paving

Clay or concrete block paving laid in herringbone on a compacted Type 1 base. Herringbone handles turning traffic well, which is why it is a popular choice for driveways.

From £95/m²

02 / 04

Resin Bound

A smooth, permeable finish with no joints. Laid on the right base, it lets rain drain through the surface instead of pooling.

From £110/m²
Contemporary garden patio in pale grey porcelain slabs with hairline joints
03 / 04

Patios & Stone

Porcelain, sandstone and granite laid on a full mortar bed, with falls away from the house. We do not spot-bed slabs.

From £120/m²
Freshly rolled asphalt driveway meeting a pale concrete dropped kerb

Tarmac & Kerbs

Two-layer tarmac, laid and rolled hot. We can apply for and install dropped kerbs to Devon County Council specification.

From £70/m²

You Pick The Top.
We Sort The Bottom.

Every finish needs the same foundation: 150 mm of compacted Type 1, a properly prepared laying course and concrete edge restraints. You choose the finish; we build the ground beneath it.

View The Survey Step

01

Survey

We dig a trial hole to check the ground and see where the water needs to go. It is free and usually takes about an hour.

02

Fixed Price

One itemised price, valid for 90 days. It includes spoil removal, so there are no surprises later.

03

Dig & Base

We excavate to the right depth, lay a membrane and compact Type 1 in layers. This is the work that gives the finished surface its life.

04

Lay & Sign Off

We lay the surface, secure the edges, fill the joints and sweep up. You inspect it with us before we send the invoice.
