Your garden, considered
Crazy paving done properly
Crazy paving uses irregular pieces of natural stone fitted together like a jigsaw. Done well, it gives a relaxed, characterful finish that suits cottage gardens and period homes.
Each piece is cut and fitted by hand on a full mortar bed, with joints kept consistent and pointed so weeds and water stay out.
In Croydon, many 1930s homes still have original crazy paving that can be restored or replaced.

The joints matter most
Wide or crumbling joints are where crazy paving fails. We keep joints even and use a strong pointing mix so the surface stays solid and weed-free.
