From busy commuter streets near Dartford Crossing to family gardens around Central Park, paving needs to be practical as well as attractive. We install and repair block paving, natural stone and porcelain to create crisp patios, safe pathways and strong driveways. Every project is set out properly, with levels checked for smooth access and tidy thresholds. If you’re in DA1 or DA2, we can survey quickly and advise on the best finish for your home.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two paving layouts are the same. We’re used to narrow side access, shared drives and front gardens where parking space matters. For period homes, we often match traditional block colours and edging details; for newer properties, porcelain or clean-lined stone can suit the architecture. Homeowners across Wilmington, Stone and Greenhithe rely on us to balance kerb appeal with everyday durability.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss design options and check drainage routes. Our team excavates to the correct depth, installs a stable sub-base, and finishes with precise cuts, jointing and compaction for a solid feel underfoot. You’ll get clear written recommendations, tidy working practices and a handover that includes care guidance. Many clients choose us as paving contractors dartford area because we’re consistent, punctual and transparent from start to finish.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and drainage needs. As a guide in Dartford, block paving typically starts around £80–£120 per m², with premium patterns and edging higher. Natural stone is often £120–£180+ per m² depending on the stone type. Porcelain patios commonly fall around £110–£170 per m². Repairs are usually priced by area and cause, from a few hundred pounds upwards.
Most patio paving projects take around 2–5 days, while an average driveway is often 4–8 days. Timescales depend on size, how much excavation is required, whether old concrete must be broken out, and if drainage channels or soakaways are needed. Access also matters on tighter streets. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and keep you updated if weather affects curing or jointing.
Many garden patios and pathways are permitted development, and most driveway paving is also allowed. The main rule to watch is surface water: if you’re paving over a front garden, you may need a permeable surface or drainage to a soakaway rather than the highway drains. There can also be extra considerations for new dropped kerbs or certain restricted sites. We’ll advise on compliance and help you choose suitable materials and drainage.
Yes. Our paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging restraints, or jointing failures under normal use. Natural movement from extreme ground conditions can occur, but we minimise risk with correct build-ups and compaction. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also provide aftercare guidance to keep your paving looking its best.
For Victorian terraces, traditional block paving with contrasting borders often suits the frontage and keeps repairs straightforward. 1930s semis frequently look great with larger format blocks, charcoal detailing and neat kerbs to frame planting. For modern developments, porcelain paving offers a clean, contemporary finish with low porosity, while natural sandstone or granite gives a premium, characterful look. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance, maintenance and colour, then design a layout that fits your space and budget.
