If you want a hard-wearing surface with a clean, high-end look, granite is a standout choice for Dartford homes. We install granite slabs and granite setts for patios, paths and driveways that cope well with daily use and the UK weather. Many of our projects are around DA1 and DA2, including properties near Central Park and routes towards the Dartford Crossing. Expect crisp lines, accurate levels and a finish that stays smart year-round.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two front gardens or rear patios are the same. We regularly work in Wilmington, Stone and Greenhithe, tailoring layouts to narrow side access, shared drive entrances and modern parking bays. Granite paving suits both traditional brickwork and contemporary extensions, giving you a surface that feels intentional rather than ‘added on’. We’ll help you choose the right thickness, colour and jointing for your property style.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and access for deliveries, then we provide a clear written quotation. We excavate properly, build a stable sub-base, and lay granite with precise falls to manage surface water. Edging, jointing and final detailing are handled with the same care as the main paving. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the granite paving Dartford area, we often deal with mixed ground conditions and varying levels between house and pavement, especially on older streets. Parking and access can be tight near busier routes and shopping traffic around Bluewater, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also design falls and drainage with local rainfall and driveway run-off in mind. For granite paving in Dartford Borough, we adapt construction depths and edging details to suit terraces, semis and newer plots.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Granite paving typically costs around £100–£180 per square metre in Dartford, depending on the stone type, thickness, pattern and edging. Patios using larger granite slabs can sit at a different price point to driveways built with granite setts and heavier sub-bases. Most homeowners spend roughly £4,000–£9,000 for a complete installation, with excavation, waste removal and proper foundations included.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days, but the exact timescale depends on the area size, access, and how much excavation is required. Driveways can take longer than patios if we need deeper sub-bases, drainage channels or kerb edging. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during heavy rain when ground preparation and jointing need extra care. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after surveying.
Many patios and driveways are permitted development, but there are rules around drainage and where surface water goes. For front driveways, the key point is usually ensuring water doesn’t run onto the highway and that permeable solutions or suitable drainage are used. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re altering access/kerbs, extra permissions may apply. We’ll advise and check requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our granite paving installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty. It covers issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging, and failures related to our installation methods. Natural stone itself can vary in appearance and may weather over time, which is normal, but we use proven laying techniques to minimise movement and maintain levels. We’ll also provide aftercare guidance for cleaning and sealing.
We install granite slabs for sleek patios and granite setts for driveways, borders and detailed features. Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, contemporary look and black granite for strong contrast with brickwork or render. We can create stretcher bond, coursed patterns, sett aprons, and contrasting edges to frame planting beds. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and design a layout that suits your home and budget.
