Epsom's mix of grand Edwardian homes and modern developments creates fascinating paving challenges. Clay soil shifts dramatically between seasons here, particularly near the Downs. Stone selection matters – limestone suits traditional properties while granite complements contemporary architecture. Each project starts with understanding your ground conditions and drainage requirements.
Proper foundation work prevents future settlement issues common in Surrey's chalk and clay terrain. Stone thickness varies between 20-50mm depending on intended use. Pedestrian areas require different preparation than driveways handling multiple vehicles. Joint spacing affects both aesthetics and water management – crucial given Epsom's rainfall patterns.
Twenty years installing stone across Surrey means recognising every local quirk. From tricky slopes near Epsom Downs to waterlogged gardens in lower KT18, experience counts.

Typical Epsom driveways (60-80m²) range £8,000-£15,000 including groundwork. Indian sandstone starts around £65/m², premium Yorkshire stone reaches £120/m². Smaller patios might cost £3,000-£6,000 depending on access difficulties.
Absolutely – from Stoneleigh through to Ashtead Common. Regular projects in KT17 near the hospital, KT18 around Epsom Downs, and throughout KT19's residential streets. Ewell Village sees plenty of our work too.
Most residential installations complete within 8-12 working days. Excavation and base preparation takes 3-4 days, stone laying another 3-4 days, then pointing and sealing. Weather permitting, naturally.
Full decade coverage on workmanship, plus manufacturer guarantees on materials. Annual inspections catch any movement early. Documentation includes maintenance schedules specific to your stone type and location.
Sandstone offers excellent grip during wet winters, while granite resists moss growth in shaded areas. Limestone develops attractive patina but needs sealing near trees. Slate works brilliantly for modern properties but requires anti-slip treatment on slopes.
