Patios, driveways & garden paths

Block paving, slabs and decorative finishes laid on solid foundations so your patio, drive or path stays level, safe and smart for years.

Ilkeston-based. Serving Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire.

Homeowners: From a simple, practical patio to a full bespoke outdoor project — we design and build patios, driveways and pathways that flow together and feel intentional. Materials, lighting, power, sound and features can all be planned in from day one.

New build plot or replacing an old patio/drive? We handle rip-out, debris removal, and the practical groundwork so you get a clean, finished space from day one.

We can work from your ideas, designs and mood-boards, or help you shape a direction based on how you want the space to feel — quiet and cosy, modern and architectural, or a statement finish.

Start point

New build plots or rip-out replacements — start clean, finish cleaner.

Whether it’s a virgin area on a new build or an existing patio/drive that’s failed over time, we can strip it back and rebuild it properly — with tidy levels, practical drainage considerations, and a finish you can enjoy straight away.

  • Virgin plots: set-out, levels, and a proper foundation approach
  • Rip-out and replacement: uplift old materials and remove spoil/debris
  • Drainage considered early (falls, run-off, and problem areas addressed)
  • Tidy edges and clean handover — no mess left behind

Project types

Simple to extravagant — designed around the way you live.

Some projects are purely practical. Others are deeply personal — a space to unwind, host, celebrate, or make a new build feel like home. We can build to either.

  • Quiet cosy corners, seating areas, and small practical patios
  • Full garden transformations with zones and a cohesive layout
  • Driveway + path + patio combinations that feel like one project
  • We can work from sketches, ideas, mood-boards or a blank canvas

Flow

Paths, patios and drives should connect — transitions matter.

Where it feels ‘off’ is usually where the surfaces meet. We focus on levels, edging, and transitions so the whole outdoor space reads as one.

  • Pathways that naturally guide you to patios, doors, and garden zones
  • Driveway transitions that don’t feel like a hard boundary
  • Edging and borders planned to frame areas cleanly
  • Finishing details that stay tidy over time

Materials

Surface materials and edging that suit the style and the job.

We’ll help you choose materials that fit your look, your maintenance expectations, and how the space will be used.

  • Porcelain, natural stone, stone, granite and stone-style finishes
  • Block paving, cobblestone looks, resin-bound and durable driveway surfaces
  • Loose stone and aggregate finishes (gravel, pebbles, flint, stone chippings) for private estate-style drives and paths
  • Tarmac options where that’s the best practical solution
  • Edgings: concrete, stone, granite, block paving and clean borders

Features

Lighting, power and sound — designed in, not bolted on.

The right lighting changes how you use the garden. Add discreet power and audio and the space becomes genuinely functional.

  • Warm mood lighting, brighter functional zones, and pathway lighting
  • Feature lighting for steps, planters, and focal points
  • Remote-controlled or zoned setups (where required)
  • Outdoor power points and discreet audio placed sensibly

Details

Water features and waterfalls — statement or subtle.

Whether it’s a focal point for a feature corner or something quiet and understated, we can integrate it into the design so it belongs.

  • Feature corners with water and lighting as a focal point
  • Subtle water details in tucked-away seating areas
  • Planned as part of the overall layout for a cohesive finish
  • Easy-to-live-with positioning and access considered early
