If you want a crisp, high-end finish outdoors, granite is hard to beat. We install granite setts and granite slabs for patios, paths and driveways across Sevenoaks, including projects near Knole House and around Riverhead. With the right sub-base and falls, granite paving stays even, drains properly and keeps its colour. Expect clean lines, tight joints and a surface that stands up to daily use.
Sevenoaks properties often have generous frontages, long driveways and landscaped rear gardens, especially around TN13 and TN14. We regularly work on large detached houses, period properties and executive homes where detailing matters and materials must suit the architecture. Granite complements brick, stone and rendered elevations, and it pairs well with contemporary planting schemes. For homes near Sevenoaks High Street, we also design layouts that cope with regular vehicle movement and turning circles.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels, and agree the look—setts for character, slabs for a sleek finish. We excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted sub-base, and lay granite with accurate falls for drainage before finishing edges and joints. You’ll get clear schedules, tidy working practices, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent quality and communicate throughout the job.
In the granite paving Sevenoaks area, we often encounter sloping plots and shared access, especially around Otford and Dunton Green. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification to prevent settlement. Where drainage rules apply, we’ll recommend permeable details or suitable run-off solutions.

For Sevenoaks homes, granite paving typically falls between £100 and £180 per square metre, depending on the granite type (setts or slabs), thickness, and the complexity of the build-up. Most projects land around £4,000 to £9,000 for a patio or driveway section once excavation, sub-base, edging and drainage details are included. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most granite paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Timescales can extend if there’s extensive excavation, tricky levels, steps, drainage channels, or a larger driveway area to form. Setts can take longer than slabs due to the extra laying and jointing detail. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated if anything changes on site.
Many patios and driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage, new or altered access points, and works near boundaries. In Sevenoaks District, driveway surfaces may need to be permeable or direct water to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional restrictions may apply. We’ll flag any concerns early and advise on compliant options.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our granite paving installations. This covers issues caused by installation, such as movement from inadequate sub-base preparation, poor levels, or edge restraint failure, subject to normal use. Granite is a natural stone and may show minor variation, but it should remain structurally sound and well-drained. We’ll also explain aftercare for joints and cleaning to keep it looking its best.
You can choose granite setts for a classic, detailed look or granite slabs for a modern, streamlined finish. Popular choices include silver granite for brighter, contemporary schemes and black granite for bold contrast with brickwork and planting. We can incorporate borders, soldier courses, steps, and matching edging to tie patios to driveways. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and jointing options, and design a layout that suits your home.
