Paving & Patios, Done Properly

Everything a UK patio or driveway project needs — slabs, sub-base, bedding, pointing and gravel — with plain-English guides and a free calculator behind every job.

Plan & price a patio

How many slabs, how much wastage, and what the whole job costs.

Sub-base & bedding

The invisible layer that decides whether your patio lasts five years or fifty.

Pointing & cleaning

Jointing compounds vs mortar, black spot, and the annual spring clean.

Gravel driveways

Depths, grids, membrane — and the permeable rules for front gardens.

Grids vs loose gravel

When stabilising grids pay for themselves — and when loose is fine.

Concrete & post mix

Shed bases, small slabs and setting posts — quantities made simple.
