If you want a patio or pathway that feels bespoke rather than “off the shelf”, crazy paving is a brilliant choice for Croydon gardens. We install natural stone crazy paving with clean lines, strong edges and a finish that complements both traditional and contemporary homes. From South Croydon to Addiscombe, we design layouts that work with your levels, drainage and planting. We’re often working near East Croydon station and around CR0 homes where outdoor space needs to be used intelligently.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments calls for flexible design. Crazy paving can soften sharp boundaries in compact terrace gardens, while larger 1930s plots benefit from sweeping paths and generous seating areas. For newer builds, we can create crisp geometric “random” patterns that look modern without losing character. This is why homeowners across the crazy paving Croydon area choose custom-cut stone rather than standard slabs.
We start with a site survey, then propose a layout, stone choice and jointing finish that suits how you use the space. Preparation is non-negotiable: proper sub-base, falls for drainage, and careful bedding to prevent rocking or future movement. Our team works cleanly and communicates clearly from day one to handover. Every installation comes with a 10-year warranty, which is why clients recommend us for crazy paving in London Borough of Croydon.
Croydon properties often have mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to made-up ground in older gardens, so we tailor excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. Access can be tight on terrace streets near CR2 and busier routes around the Whitgift Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider surface water management and practical gradients, especially where patios meet older thresholds. The result is paving that looks right and performs well year-round.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Croydon, crazy paving typically costs £70–£120 per square metre depending on the stone type, thickness, cut complexity and the amount of ground preparation needed. Most homeowners spend around £2,500–£5,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path project. Prices can rise for premium slate, intricate custom designs, lots of steps/levels, or difficult access that increases labour and waste removal.
Most crazy paving projects take 3–5 days for an average patio or pathway, assuming reasonable access and normal weather. Timescales vary with excavation depth, drying/curing time for bedding and jointing, and whether we’re building steps, retaining edges or drainage. Larger areas, complex curves and multiple levels can add a few extra days. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
For most rear garden patios and pathways, planning permission isn’t usually required, as they’re classed as permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re working at the front of the property, altering levels significantly, or affecting drainage to the public highway. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, extra restrictions may apply. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check 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 protect you against issues like movement caused by inadequate build-up. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and texture, which is part of its character, but we only source quality materials and install them to manufacturer-appropriate methods.
We install natural stone crazy paving in several popular options, including slate crazy paving for a sleek, darker look and sandstone crazy paving for warmer, softer tones. Mixed natural stone blends can create a more traditional, cottage-style finish. We can form patios, pathways and linking areas with custom shapes, edging and joint colours to suit your home. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a layout that fits your garden and budget.
