Carshalton’s village atmosphere and green spaces deserve hard landscaping that looks refined year-round. We install granite slabs and granite setts for patios, paths and driveways that complement gardens near Carshalton Ponds and properties around Carshalton Beeches. Granite’s low porosity and dense structure make it ideal for busy family gardens and front drives. Every project is set out carefully to achieve sharp edges, consistent falls and a premium finish.
From Victorian and Edwardian houses to 1930s semis in SM5, outdoor spaces in Carshalton often need paving that feels authentic yet practical. Granite works beautifully with brick façades, bay windows and traditional boundary walls, while still suiting cleaner, contemporary planting schemes. We regularly design layouts that improve access, widen parking, or create a more usable patio for entertaining. Our experience across the granite paving Carshalton area helps us match colour tones and jointing styles to each property.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then prepare a robust sub-base and bedding layer before laying and jointing. Drainage falls, edging restraint and compaction are handled properly so the surface stays stable and safe. We protect surrounding lawns, keep walkways usable where possible, and leave the site tidy each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by our warranty.
Access and parking can be tight around older streets in SM5, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, and we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit the site and loading requirements. For driveway works, we consider surface water management and permeable options where needed. We’re familiar with expectations for granite paving in London Borough of Sutton and keep installations neat, compliant and neighbour-friendly.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For granite paving in Carshalton, installed prices are typically £100–£180 per square metre, depending on stone type, thickness, cut (slabs vs setts) and the amount of ground preparation required. Most patio or driveway projects fall around £4,000–£9,000, influenced by access, drainage, edging details and waste removal. After a site visit, we provide a tailored specification and itemised estimate.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Timescales can increase if we’re replacing a failed base, installing new drainage channels, building retaining edges, or laying intricate sett patterns. Larger driveways and stepped levels also add time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many patios and like-for-like driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply to surface water drainage, listed buildings, or works near boundaries. For front driveways, the key issue is managing runoff to a permeable area or suitable drainage rather than the street. We’ll advise on compliant build-ups and drainage solutions and can help you check any London Borough of Sutton requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor edge restraint, or incorrect falls and drainage detailing. Granite itself is a durable natural stone, but like all paving it relies on proper groundworks and jointing to perform. We also share care guidance to help prevent staining and maintain the finish over time.
Popular choices include silver granite slabs for a bright, contemporary look, black granite for strong contrast, and granite setts for traditional borders, aprons and feature bands. Finishes can be flamed, bush-hammered or lightly textured for grip. We’ll help you choose slab sizes, laying patterns and joint colours to suit your home and garden layout, and we can blend setts with slabs for a bespoke design.
