Limestone is a standout choice for Hayes gardens, bringing a clean, premium look that complements the area’s greenery around Hayes Common and West Common. Whether you want a calm grey terrace for outdoor dining or a warmer cream tone for a brighter courtyard, we install paving that feels tailored to your home. We work across BR2 and nearby streets where access and levels can vary. Expect crisp edging, neat falls for drainage, and a finish that looks right year-round.
Hayes (Bromley) has a strong mix of large detached houses, period cottages and well-loved 1930s properties, many with generous rear gardens and side access. We design limestone layouts that suit these proportions—larger format slabs for spacious patios, or smaller modules for cottage-style paths. For homes near Hayes station or towards West Wickham, we can plan practical routes for bins, bikes and family use without compromising style. The result is paving that matches the character of the property rather than fighting it.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measurement, and a clear recommendation on base build-up, drainage falls and jointing. We install on a properly compacted sub-base with the right bedding for limestone, then finish with careful pointing and optional sealing to help resist staining and algae. You’ll receive a written scope of works and straightforward scheduling, typically completed within 3–5 days. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable communication and a finish that stays true through the seasons.
Gardens in Hayes (Bromley) often have changing levels and mature planting, especially near the commons, so we plan retaining edges, steps and smooth transitions. We also factor in practicalities like parking and material deliveries on residential roads around BR2. Where ground is softer or shaded, we specify robust sub-bases and recommend sealing to help reduce algae staining. If surface water management is needed, we incorporate discreet drainage solutions that suit the London Borough of Bromley requirements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For limestone paving in the Hayes (Bromley) area, budgets commonly fall between £90 and £160 per square metre, depending on slab choice, thickness, cutting detail and the amount of groundwork required. Many homeowners spend around £3,500 to £8,000 for a typical patio or combined patio-and-path project. Costs can rise with steps, drainage channels, complex patterns, or extensive excavation and waste removal.
Most limestone paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final pointing, assuming reasonable access and average weather. Smaller patios can be quicker, while larger areas or designs with steps, multiple levels or intricate cutting may take longer. Timescales are also affected by how much old paving must be removed, how much the ground needs building up, and whether sealing is included at the end once the surface is ready.
In many cases, garden patios and paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water drainage is also important; we can advise on permeable detailing or drainage solutions where needed. We’ll flag any likely requirements before work starts and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our installation workmanship, including the stability of the sub-base, bedding and jointing when used and maintained as advised. This helps protect you against issues such as settlement caused by inadequate ground preparation. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and may weather over time; we’ll explain what’s normal and how sealing and routine care can keep the paving looking its best.
We supply and install blue limestone for a contemporary look, grey limestone for a timeless patio, and cream limestone to brighten shaded gardens. Finish options include a tumbled finish for softer, aged edges and a honed finish for a smoother, modern feel. We’ll help you choose slab sizes, laying patterns and edging details to suit your home, then recommend sealing where appropriate for easier maintenance and improved stain resistance.
