Those tired concrete slabs don't do justice to Croydon's charming Victorian terraces and modern developments. Natural stone transforms ordinary outdoor spaces into something rather special – whether that's York stone for period properties or sleek granite for contemporary homes.

Stone paving suits Croydon's diverse architecture beautifully. From the grand driveways of Webb Estate to compact courtyards in Old Town, each project demands careful material selection. Limestone complements red-brick facades wonderfully, while sandstone creates warmth against rendered walls. The right stone choice makes all the difference between a forgettable path and an entrance that turns heads.
Installation requires precision, especially with Croydon's clay-heavy soil that shifts seasonally. Proper sub-base preparation prevents future settling – crucial when you're investing in materials that should last generations. Each stone gets individually levelled, joints carefully pointed, and drainage channels integrated where needed. Victorian properties often need sympathetic restoration work, matching existing stonework while improving functionality.
Twenty years laying stone across South London teaches you what works where. Local knowledge matters – understanding which quarries supply stone that weathers well in urban environments, which patterns suit different property styles.

A double driveway (roughly 40m²) typically ranges £4,000-£7,500 depending on stone selection. Indian sandstone offers excellent value around £100-120/m², while premium Yorkshire stone or granite can reach £150-180/m². Smaller patios start from £2,500.
Absolutely – from Purley Way retail parks to residential streets in Selhurst, Waddon's suburban roads to South Croydon's hillside properties. Regular projects across all CR0, CR2 and CR7 postcodes mean we know local suppliers and parking restrictions well.
Most patios finish within 5-7 working days, including groundwork. Driveways need 7-10 days typically. Weather permitting, of course – Croydon's unpredictable showers occasionally add a day or two.
Every installation carries decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. Stone itself lasts centuries when properly laid – the warranty ensures your investment stays level, stable and beautiful through ten years of British weather.
Granite excels in high-traffic areas, practically maintenance-free. Sandstone develops attractive weathering but needs annual sealing. Limestone looks stunning but requires more care in shaded areas where moss grows. Each has merits – choosing depends on your priorities and property style.
