Crazy paving brings a relaxed, premium look that still feels structured underfoot—ideal for busy gardens around SE20. We install patios and pathways that sit beautifully with the streetscape near Penge High Street and the greener edges by Alexandra Recreation Ground. Every layout is planned to work with your levels, drainage and access. The result is a hardwearing surface with natural variation and real kerb appeal.
Penge has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with compact rear gardens and side returns. Our designs make the most of these spaces, creating usable seating areas and practical routes to sheds and bins. If you’re close to Anerley or Crystal Palace, we can match paving tones to existing brickwork and boundary walls. We also factor in shaded spots and tree roots so the paving stays stable long-term.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss styles, and confirm falls for drainage. Next comes proper excavation, a solid sub-base, and careful stone selection so the pattern looks intentional rather than random. We finish with neat pointing and optional sealing, then leave the site tidy and ready to use. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As a nearby team (around 15 minutes away), we’re used to the access and parking realities around Penge East station and the SE20 streets. Gardens here can have variable ground conditions and older drainage runs, so we plan excavation depths and falls carefully. We also keep an eye on boundaries and shared access points common in terraces and conversions. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job moving.

For crazy paving in the Penge area, most homeowners budget £70–£120 per square metre depending on stone type, edging detail and groundwork. Typical projects come in around £2,500–£5,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-pathway. Costs rise with difficult access, extensive excavation, drainage upgrades, or premium natural stone choices such as thicker sandstone or slate. We provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most crazy paving installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base build-up, laying, cutting, and pointing. Timescales depend on the area size, the number of cuts around manholes or steps, and whether we’re also improving drainage or levels. Weather can affect curing and pointing, especially in colder or very wet spells. We’ll confirm a realistic programme once we’ve assessed access and waste removal.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, drainage and permeable surfaces can also matter. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and, where needed, help you check guidance for crazy paving in London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
Yes. Our crazy paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by installation defects, and pointing problems linked to our materials and methods. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme ground movement outside our control, or neglect (for example, not keeping joints maintained where advised). We’ll explain aftercare clearly and provide documentation for peace of mind.
We install Natural Stone Crazy Paving in a range of looks, including Slate Crazy Paving for a contemporary feel and Sandstone Crazy Paving for warmer, traditional tones. You can choose tighter joints for a cleaner finish or wider joints for a more rustic style, plus edging options to frame patios and pathways. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design a custom layout that suits your garden proportions and lighting.
