If you want a patio or path with real texture and individuality, crazy paving is a standout choice for Cheam gardens. We install natural stone crazy paving with careful joint lines and balanced colour tones, whether you’re updating a rear terrace near Cheam Village or improving access routes by Nonsuch Park. Each layout is planned to look intentional, not random, with safe, even levels and tidy edges. The result is a surface that feels established and complements mature planting.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes suits the organic look of stone paving particularly well. Many properties in SM2 and SM3 have side returns, narrow passages or stepped thresholds, so levels and drainage need to be handled properly. We design crazy paving to work with existing brickwork, rendering and garden walls, keeping the finish in proportion to the house. For larger plots, we can create generous entertaining areas with subtle zoning and curved pathways.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written specification, then prepare a solid sub-base and a stable bedding layer before laying and pointing. Cuts are done neatly, falls are set for run-off, and we protect lawns, borders and access routes while we work. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and consistent communication from start to finish. All installations are backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the crazy paving Cheam area, we often encounter mixed ground and mature gardens, so sub-base depth and compaction are planned carefully. Access can be tight around side passages and shared drives, especially near Cheam Recreation Ground, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider drainage requirements and practicalities such as parking and skip placement. Our approach is tailored to property styles common in the London Borough of Sutton, from 1930s semis to larger detached homes.

For crazy paving in Cheam, most homeowners budget around £70–£120 per square metre depending on the stone type, thickness, cut complexity and pointing finish. Typical projects such as a patio with a short pathway often come in at roughly £2,500–£5,500. Costs can rise with difficult access, extensive excavation, drainage adjustments, or premium stone blends. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most crazy paving patios and pathways take around 3–5 days from excavation to final pointing, assuming reasonable access and settled weather. Timescales vary with the size of the area, how much old paving needs removing, and whether we’re adding steps, retaining edges or drainage channels. Natural stone also needs careful setting-out and cutting, which can add time but improves the finished look. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, garden paving is permitted development and won’t need planning permission, but rules can change depending on drainage, listed buildings, and whether you’re in or near a conservation area. Parts of Cheam include sensitive streetscapes, so it’s worth checking early. We’ll advise on practical compliance, including permeable options and sensible falls to manage run-off. If approvals are needed, we can help you gather the right information.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our crazy paving installations, covering workmanship and the structural integrity of the build-up when the area is used as intended. That includes issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or poor laying practices. Natural stone is a living material and can weather over time, but the installation should remain stable and well-draining. We’ll also explain aftercare to keep joints and surfaces looking their best.
We install natural stone crazy paving in several popular options, including slate crazy paving for a contemporary look and sandstone crazy paving for warmer, traditional tones. Designs can be random coursed, more tightly fitted, or blended with setts, edging stones and steps for definition. We’ll help you choose colours and piece sizes that suit your house style and garden planting, and we can create custom shapes for seating areas, paths and feature corners.
