Garden Paving in Swanley & Sevenoaks
Trusted, family-run home improvement specialists, Prestige Home Improvements.

Most people focus on the colour of the stone, but we'll let you in on a secret: it's what's underneath that counts. We've seen so many patios in the Wilmington and Eynsford area start to sink or hold water after just one winter because the groundwork was rushed. That's why we're sticklers for the technical stuff. We always install a heavy-duty MOT Type 1 sub-base to give your patio a foundation that won't budge. We also carefully calculate the 'fall' or gradient. This ensures that when the British weather does its worst, the water runs safely away from your house and into a proper drainage system, keeping your home dry and your garden SuDS compliant. It might not be the most exciting part of the job, but it's why our patios still look brand new a decade later.

What's your garden vibe? If you're after that sleek, modern 'indoor-outdoor' look that's all over the magazines, vitrified porcelain is a fantastic choice. It's incredibly hard-wearing and virtually non-porous, meaning it's resistant to that annoying green algae that makes surfaces slippery. For those who prefer a more traditional look, natural Indian Sandstone is hard to beat. Each slab has its own unique natural stone strata and character, offering warm tones that look beautiful rain or shine. If you're near the M25/A20 corridor and deal with a bit of traffic dust, porcelain is especially popular because it's so low-maintenance—usually just a quick wipe down is all it takes to keep it sparkling. We'll bring samples to your door so you can see exactly how the stone looks against your own brickwork before you decide.
