If you want a crisp, high-end finish for a patio or driveway, granite is hard to beat. We install granite slabs and granite setts across Orpington, including BR5 and BR6, with careful levels and clean detailing. Many clients come to us after seeing tired concrete or block paving near Priory Gardens or along the High Street and want something more premium. Granite delivers a modern look without sacrificing durability.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates suits granite paving particularly well. Wider frontages in Petts Wood and Farnborough often benefit from a structured driveway layout using granite setts for edging and turning zones. For family gardens in St Mary Cray and Green Street Green, we regularly design patios that connect kitchen doors to seating areas with safe, even surfaces. We tailor the colour and jointing style so the paving complements brickwork, render and existing landscaping.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss use (parking, entertaining, paths) and confirm falls for drainage. Then we excavate to the correct depth, build a stable sub-base, and lay granite with precise alignment and long-lasting jointing. Our team keeps access tidy and communicates clearly from start to finish, with most projects completed in 3–5 days. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent costs and a 10-year warranty.
In the granite paving Orpington area, we often find mixed ground conditions and older garden levels that need careful excavation and compaction. Parking and access can be tight near Orpington station and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design around typical Bromley plot shapes—front drives with crossovers and rear patios that need reliable drainage away from the house. Where required, we can advise on permeable build-ups and soakaway solutions.

Most granite paving projects take around 3–5 days, assuming normal access and dry weather. Timescales depend on the area size, how much excavation is needed, and whether we’re installing drainage channels, steps or retaining edges. Driveways can take longer if the existing surface is thick concrete or if levels need reworking to protect the damp-proof course. We’ll confirm a schedule before we start.
Most patios and many driveway replacements are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and changes to access. For driveways, the key point is usually surface water: non-permeable paving may need to drain to a permeable area or soakaway rather than the highway. If a new or altered crossover is required, Bromley’s approvals may be needed. We’ll advise on compliant build-ups and check requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our granite paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including the stability of the sub-base, levels and laying. It’s designed to protect you against issues such as settlement caused by installation faults or premature joint failure under normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or movement caused by external factors like major tree-root disruption, but we’ll always explain care and maintenance clearly.
