Beckenham homeowners love outdoor spaces that feel established and characterful, and crazy paving delivers exactly that. Whether you’re near Beckenham Place Park or walking distance from Beckenham Junction station, we create patios and pathways that suit the setting. Our layouts blend irregular stone shapes into a balanced pattern, with crisp edges and neat falls for drainage. The result is a surface that looks natural, but performs like a properly engineered build.
From Edwardian houses to 1930s semis and period conversions across BR3, we tailor the paving style to the property. In Eden Park and Clock House, we often match stone tones to brickwork and garden walls for a cohesive finish. For smaller courtyards and side returns, we design slimmer pathways and practical thresholds that still look premium. Every job starts with listening to how you use the space—dining, play, pets, or low-maintenance planting.
We begin with a site visit, levels check and a clear plan for sub-base, drainage and edging. Stones are selected, cut and hand-laid to a custom design, then jointed and finished for long-term stability. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily, and protect surrounding lawns and borders. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling, workmanship you can see in the details, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we often work around mature trees, mixed ground conditions and tight side access common to BR3 homes. Parking and deliveries can be tricky near stations and busier roads, so we plan drop-offs and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also set levels carefully to protect air bricks and thresholds on older properties. If drainage needs upgrading, we factor it in from the start rather than patching later.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For crazy paving in the Beckenham area, most projects fall between £70 and £120 per square metre, depending on stone type, thickness, cutting, edging and jointing. Typical total costs are often £2,500 to £5,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path scheme. Prices can rise for complex curves, difficult access, extra excavation, drainage channels, or premium natural stone selections.
Most crazy paving projects take around 3–5 days, assuming average access and straightforward ground preparation. Timescales depend on the size of the area, how much excavation is required, weather, and whether we’re installing drainage, steps or retaining edges. Natural stone also takes time to select, cut and fit neatly. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring levels and discussing the design.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage is also important—surfaces should not direct water onto the highway or neighbouring land. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you check Bromley guidance before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our crazy paving installation, covering workmanship such as sub-base preparation, bedding, stability and jointing performance under normal residential use. It’s designed to give confidence that the surface won’t fail due to poor construction. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement outside our control, or issues caused by third-party alterations after completion. Care guidance is provided too.
We install Natural Stone Crazy Paving, including slate crazy paving and sandstone crazy paving, with options for mixed tones or a more uniform look. Designs can be free-flowing, more tightly coursed, or framed with contrasting borders for a sharper, contemporary feel. We’ll help you choose stone thickness, colour and joint style to suit your garden and property, then create a custom layout that balances character with practicality.
