Crazy paving brings character and movement to outdoor spaces, whether you want a relaxed patio or a smart, hard-wearing pathway. We install bespoke layouts across SW4 and SW11, from compact courtyards to larger family gardens. If you’re near Clapham Common or Clapham Old Town, we can design paving that complements the look and scale of your property. Every project is set out to make the shapes feel intentional, not random.
Homes in Clapham range from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with balconies and shared gardens. That mix means paving needs to work with different levels, thresholds and drainage points. Our team is local (around 20 minutes away), so we’re used to the access challenges of terrace streets and the expectations of high-finish renovations. For the crazy paving Clapham area, we balance period charm with crisp detailing at edges and steps.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and design guidance, then prepare a stable sub-base and set falls for drainage. Your stone is cut and laid to a planned pattern, then pointed for durability and easy maintenance. We keep the site tidy, protect surrounding planting, and communicate clearly from day one to completion. All workmanship is backed by our 10-year warranty, which is why Clapham homeowners recommend Fine Landscaping.
Working in the crazy paving in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth area often means tight access, controlled parking and careful waste removal. We plan deliveries and cuts to minimise disruption, especially near busy routes around Clapham Junction station. Ground conditions can vary between made-up garden soils and older compacted bases, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. Our detailing suits both period terraces and contemporary refurbishments.

For most Clapham projects, crazy paving is typically £70–£120 per square metre, depending on the stone type, thickness, cutting time and the amount of groundwork required. As a guide, many patio or pathway installs come in around £2,500–£5,500. Costs can rise if you need extensive excavation, new drainage, steps, retaining edges, or premium-grade slate or sandstone selections.
Most crazy paving patios and pathways in Clapham take around 3–5 days from excavation to pointing, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Timeframes can extend if you’re replacing old concrete, need deeper sub-base work, or want intricate custom designs with lots of shaping. Larger areas, multiple levels, new steps, or drainage adjustments also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying the site.
In many cases, garden patios and pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water management can also matter, particularly for front gardens. We’ll advise on the relevant Lambeth or Wandsworth requirements and can help you check before work starts.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on crazy paving installations. This covers issues linked to installation quality, such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect build-up, or pointing problems under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement outside our control, or neglect (for example, harsh chemicals or pressure washing too aggressively). We also recommend suitable maintenance to keep the finish looking sharp.
We install natural stone crazy paving in a range of looks, including slate crazy paving for a sleek, darker finish and sandstone crazy paving for warmer, softer tones. Designs can be free-flowing or more structured with consistent joint widths, plus options for borders, edgings and step features. We’ll help you choose stone thickness, colour blend and pointing style to suit your home, light levels and how you use the space.
