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.

Materials & possibilities

Crazy paving options

Stone choice changes the look completely.

01

Sandstone

Warm tones

Buff, grey or multi-colour pieces.

02

Slate

Dark and modern

Crisp edges and darker colours.

03

Limestone

Soft and pale

Lighter tones for a calm finish.

04

Restoration

Keep the original

Re-bed loose stones and re-point.

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.
