If you want a patio that looks refined but stands up to family life, limestone is a brilliant choice. We install limestone paving across BR5 and BR6, with projects often near Orpington station and Priory Gardens. From compact seating areas to full garden terraces, we lay each slab for consistent falls, neat edges and comfortable underfoot texture. The result is a patio that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates suits limestone particularly well, because it complements both traditional brickwork and contemporary glazing. In Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we regularly replace tired concrete with clean, bright stone that lifts the whole garden. We also design layouts that work for busy households—space for dining, a safe route to the shed, and sensible transitions to lawns and borders. Every scheme is planned around how you actually use the garden.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then we recommend the right limestone and finish for your lifestyle. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and bed the stone for long-term strength, finishing with precise pointing and optional sealing. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners choose us for workmanship that stays true through seasons, not just the first summer.
We’re used to the access and parking realities around the High Street and The Walnuts Shopping Centre, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can have variable ground conditions, so we tailor sub-base depth and compaction to suit. Many Orpington plots also have gentle slopes, which we manage with careful setting-out and drainage falls. The job is designed to look right and perform well year-round.

For limestone paving in the Orpington area, budgets typically sit between £90 and £160 per square metre, depending on the stone choice, finish and site preparation. Most homeowners spend around £3,500 to £8,000 for a complete patio including excavation, sub-base, bedding, pointing and tidy-up. Costs can rise for complex levels, poor ground, restricted access, or premium cuts and edging details.
Most limestone patio installations take 3–5 days, which suits many Orpington gardens. Timescales depend on patio size, how much excavation is needed, the condition of the existing base, and whether we’re adding steps, retaining edges or drainage channels. Weather can also affect curing times for bedding and pointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working on a listed building or within certain protected areas. For projects in the London Borough of Bromley, we’ll talk through drainage and levels and help you check any constraints before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor bedding, or faulty installation. It’s designed to give you confidence that the patio will stay level and well-finished over time. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and veining, which is part of its character, but we only source quality materials and install them to best practice standards.
We supply and install Blue Limestone, Grey Limestone and Cream Limestone, with popular choices including a tumbled finish for a softer, aged look or a honed finish for a smoother, contemporary feel. We’ll help you choose a layout (straight, staggered or mixed sizes), edging details and joint colour to suit your home. Sealing is also available to enhance colour and reduce staining from spills and leaf tannins.
