Our crazy paving transforms tired patios and paths into standout outdoor spaces across DA1 and DA2. Whether you’re updating a rear garden near Central Park or improving access routes for entertaining, we create surfaces that look intentional, not random. Every layout is planned to suit how you use the space and how water drains away from the house. Expect crisp edges, comfortable walking lines and a finish that complements your planting.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments needs different approaches to levels, thresholds and drainage. We regularly work on compact side returns and long garden runs where a pathway must stay practical year-round. For modern homes around Greenhithe and Swanscombe, we can match contemporary lines while keeping the natural, textured feel of stone. For period properties, we favour patterns and tones that sit comfortably with brickwork and traditional gardens.
We start with a site visit to measure, check falls and discuss your preferred look, then provide a clear scope of works. Our team builds a proper sub-base, uses quality bedding and points for durability, and keeps the site tidy throughout. You’ll get straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because the finish stays stable, drains well and looks better with age.
In Dartford Borough we often find mixed ground conditions, so we adjust excavation depth and compaction to prevent movement. Access can be tight on terraced streets, and we plan deliveries and waste removal to suit parking restrictions. Where properties sit near busy routes towards the Dartford Crossing, we prioritise tidy logistics and safe storage. We also set falls carefully to manage heavy rainfall and reduce pooling on patios and pathways.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For crazy paving in the Dartford area, most homeowners budget £70–£120 per square metre depending on stone type, thickness, cutting and pointing finish. Smaller patios and paths often come in around £2,500–£5,500 overall, including groundworks and waste removal. Costs rise if we need deeper excavation, drainage improvements, steps, or complex custom designs. A site visit helps confirm access and levels before pricing.
Most projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final pointing, depending on size and complexity. Timeframes can extend if we’re building steps, retaining edges, or correcting poor existing levels. Weather also matters, as bedding and pointing need suitable conditions to cure properly. We’ll agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated daily, especially if access or deliveries need coordinating on your street.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. Rules can change if you’re working in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, or affecting drainage to the public highway. For front gardens, surface water management is especially important. We’ll talk through the scope, check any relevant Dartford Borough guidance, and recommend permeable or drained solutions where required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our crazy paving installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose stones, or failing joints due to installation defects. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and texture, which is part of its character, but the build quality should remain solid. We also give care advice for cleaning and seasonal maintenance to keep it looking its best.
We install Natural Stone Crazy Paving, including slate crazy paving for a modern, darker look and sandstone crazy paving for warmer, softer tones. Designs can be tight-jointed for a cleaner finish or slightly wider for a more rustic style, with pointing colours chosen to suit your home. We’ll help you select stone thickness, edge detailing, and layout so the patio or pathway fits your garden shape and how you use it.
