Brixton gardens deserve surfaces with personality, and crazy paving delivers exactly that. From compact courtyards near Windrush Square to larger rear patios around Brixton Hill, we create hardwearing layouts that look natural rather than uniform. Our team designs each project to work with your levels, drainage and access. Expect crisp edges, strong sub-bases and a finish that complements your planting.
We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, where Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and modern developments often have tricky boundaries and tight side returns. Crazy paving suits these spaces because it can be shaped around steps, manholes and existing walls without looking patched. We’ll help you choose stone tones that match London stock brick, painted render or contemporary cladding. The result is a surface that feels considered, not off-the-shelf.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written scope, then careful excavation and a properly compacted base. We dry-lay to refine the pattern before bedding and pointing for strength and weather resistance. You’ll get straightforward updates throughout, tidy working practices, and a finish built to last. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, skilled stonework and a 10-year warranty.
Working in the crazy paving Brixton area often means managing narrow access, resident parking and timed deliveries, especially near Electric Avenue. Lambeth’s mix of clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots can affect levels and drainage, so we build robust bases and plan falls carefully. We also design around cellar lightwells, coal chutes and shared boundaries common to terraces. Where needed, we help you understand council expectations and keep the job compliant.

For crazy paving in Brixton, most homeowners budget £70–£120 per square metre, depending on stone type, cut complexity and the amount of groundwork required. Typical projects come in around £2,500–£5,500 for a patio or pathway, with higher costs for difficult access, extensive excavation, drainage improvements or premium stone. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit so you can compare like-for-like.
Most crazy paving jobs take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base installation, laying, pointing and tidy-up. Timescales vary with the area size, access (common with Brixton terraces), weather, and whether we’re adding steps, drainage channels or edging. Natural stone can also require extra time for careful selection and cutting to achieve a balanced pattern. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a listed building, or affecting drainage to the public highway. In the London Borough of Lambeth, we also consider requirements around permeable surfaces and water run-off. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if checks are needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our crazy paving installation, covering workmanship such as sub-base preparation, bedding and pointing, and issues like movement caused by poor construction. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We’ll also explain how to care for natural stone, including cleaning and optional sealing, to keep the surface looking its best year-round.
We install Natural Stone Crazy Paving in a range of looks, including slate crazy paving for a crisp, contemporary feel and sandstone crazy paving for warmer, traditional tones. Designs can be tailored for patios, pathways, courtyards and connecting areas, with options for edging, contrasting borders and different pointing colours. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and help you choose a layout that suits your property and garden style.
