If you want a patio with personality, crazy paving is hard to beat. We design and install natural stone surfaces that look at home near Keston Common and the lanes around Keston Ponds. Each piece is selected and set to create a balanced pattern, not a random patchwork. Expect a finish that feels timeless, practical and easy to live with in BR2.
Keston has a mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes, often with generous gardens and mature planting. We tailor crazy paving layouts to suit traditional brickwork, flint details and older boundary walls, while still working beautifully with modern extensions. For sloping lawns and terraced levels, we plan falls and steps so the paving drains correctly and stays safe underfoot. If you’re in Hayes, Farnborough or Downe, we’ll match the style to your property rather than forcing a one-size look.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space. We build a proper sub-base, set falls for drainage, and lay stone on a strong mortar bed with neat jointing for durability. You’ll get clear timeframes (typically 3–5 days) and tidy working practices, with materials and edges agreed before we start. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a finish that lasts.
Ground conditions around Keston can vary, so we assess soil, levels and drainage before setting out. Many BR2 homes have limited driveway access or shared boundaries, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design paving to suit larger plots and mature gardens, keeping roots and existing features in mind. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and build accordingly.

For crazy paving keston area projects, expect around £70–£120 per square metre depending on the stone (slate, sandstone or mixed natural stone), access, cut complexity and edging details. Most homeowners in BR2 spend roughly £2,500–£5,500 for a patio or a combination of patio and pathways. Costs can rise for extensive groundwork, steps, retaining edges or premium stone selection.
Most crazy paving jobs take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Timescales depend on the size of the area, how much old paving needs lifting, and whether we’re building steps, curves or multiple levels. Natural stone also needs careful selection and cutting to achieve a consistent look. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working near boundaries and protected features. Some properties may have restrictions due to conservation considerations. We’ll advise on best practice and check what applies for your site in the London Borough of Bromley before work begins.
