What goes into laying York stone paving properly?
Most of the work is underneath. We dig out with our own machinery, lay and compact a proper sub-base, set the falls so water runs away from the house, then bed and point the stone. Paving laid that way stays level for years instead of rocking or sinking.Most of the work is underneath.

Matching paving on older homes

What people ask
Based in Faversham, working across Kent.
How much does York stone paving cost?
It depends on the size of the job, the materials and what's already there, and material prices move too often for a fixed list to stay honest. Tell us what you're planning and we'll come back with a quote for your job.
Do you do the groundworks as well?
Yes. We dig out and lay the base with our own plant and people, so the whole job is done by one team.
Can you lay paving as part of a bigger project?
Yes. Terraces and paths are often part of our extensions, garden rooms and landscaping, and we also lay paving on its own.
Will the paving drain properly?
Yes. We set the falls so water runs away from the house and the paving, and deal with drainage as part of the job.
What warranty do I get?
It depends on the job and the materials, so there isn't one blanket figure. Your quote sets out exactly what's covered for your project before you agree to anything.
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
We are based at Abbots Hill near Faversham and work across Kent. If you are not sure we cover you, ask and we will tell you straight.
