Croydon homeowners choose limestone for its clean look, natural variation and practical grip underfoot. We install patios, paths and seating areas across CR0 and CR2, with careful levels and neat edges that suit both modern and period gardens. If you’re near East Croydon station or the Whitgift Centre, our team can survey quickly and plan a layout that works with your access and existing drainage. The result is a premium surface that looks refined all year round.
The London Borough of Croydon has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, often with compact rear gardens and side returns. We design limestone paving that respects original brickwork and boundary walls, while giving you a more usable outdoor space. In areas such as South Croydon and Addiscombe, we frequently replace tired slabs and uneven concrete with a properly built sub-base and consistent falls. For modern homes, we can create larger-format paving with minimal joints for a sharper finish.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear quotation, then prepare the ground with the correct sub-base and bedding for long-term stability. Every installation is laid for accurate falls to help surface water drain away from the house, with tidy cuts around inspection covers and thresholds. We can apply sealing once the stone is ready, helping reduce staining and weathering while keeping the colour consistent. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 10 minutes away, so you get responsive support and reliable scheduling.
Croydon gardens often have variable ground, from compacted clay to made-up areas from older works, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. Access can be tight around Victorian terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and cutting areas to keep disruption down. Where parking restrictions apply near Fairfield Halls or busier roads, we schedule drop-offs and collections to avoid delays. We also set levels carefully to manage runoff and protect nearby walls and neighbouring boundaries.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For limestone paving in the Croydon area, most homeowners budget £90–£160 per square metre depending on stone choice, finish, and the amount of cutting and edging required. Typical projects come in around £3,500–£8,000 for a new patio or courtyard, including ground preparation and installation. Costs can rise if old surfaces need breaking out, access is restricted, or drainage and steps are added.
Most limestone paving jobs take 3–5 days, depending on the patio size, access, and what’s already in place. Removing existing slabs or concrete, deeper excavation, and extra features like steps, edging, or drainage channels can add time. Weather also plays a part, as heavy rain can slow groundworks and pointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage is also important: surfaces should manage water responsibly rather than running onto the highway. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check before work begins.
Yes. Our limestone paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or poor laying. The warranty assumes normal use and that basic care is followed, such as keeping joints maintained and avoiding harsh chemicals. Natural stone can weather over time, but we help minimise this with correct installation, suitable jointing, and optional sealing where appropriate.
We supply and install Blue Limestone, Grey Limestone and Cream Limestone, with popular options including a tumbled finish for a softer, aged look or a honed finish for a smoother, contemporary style. We’ll help you choose slab size, laying pattern, edging details and joint colour to suit your home and garden. If you want easier maintenance, we can discuss sealing and the best timing for it.
