Outdoor Patios & Entertaining Areas

Turn unused yard space into a beautiful, functional living area. We lay high-grade concrete, natural stone, and clay pavers with accurate falls so rainwater drains safely away from your home's foundation.

Built from the Ground Up: Base Prep & Drainage

In Canberra's heavy clay soils, pavers sink, tilt, or hold water if the foundation isn't built properly. We never lay pavers directly on raw dirt or thin sand.

Quality Paving Materials We Install

We partner with top local Canberra suppliers to source premium materials tailored to your style and budget:

Concrete Pavers (300x300, 400x400 & Large Format): Extremely versatile, available in smooth or textured finishes, ideal for modern patios, courtyards, and footpaths.

Travertine & Natural Stone: A high-end aesthetic that stays cool underfoot during Canberra’s summer heat.

Clay & Brick Pavers: Classic durability with rich color options that suit both modern architectural homes and traditional red-brick Canberra properties.

Granite & Bluestone: High-strength, slip-resistant options ideal for high-traffic zones and decorative feature borders.

Stepping Stones, Pathways & Garden Edging

Guide foot traffic smoothly around your property with custom paver walkways, oversized stepping stones set in aggregate or turf, and clean brick or paver garden borders.

Our Step-by-Step Installation Process

Precision Excavation: Digging down to the correct depth based on traffic load and existing ground levels.

Compacted Road Base: Laying and mechanically compacting a heavy-duty road base layer to form an unyielding sub-foundation.

Screeded Bedding Sand: Setting precise screed rails to guarantee a smooth surface and correct fall away from buildings.

Hand-Laying & Edge Restraints: Hand-laying pavers with exact joint spacing and securing boundaries so edges never drift.

Joint Sanding & Locking: Sweeping specialized joint sand into gaps to lock the surface together and block weed growth.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a concrete base or a flexible road base for my new patio?

For residential patios, pathways, and courtyards, a mechanically compacted road base paired with screeded bedding sand provides superior strength, natural flexibility against soil movement, and cost efficiency. For heavy vehicular driveways, a concrete slab sub-base may be recommended.

How do you stop water from pooling on paved surfaces?

We build accurate slope (fall) directly into the bedding sand layer during installation, directing surface water away from house footings. Where site levels are restricted, we integrate channel drains or subsoil French drains directly along the paved edge.

What is the cost per square metre for paving in Canberra?

Paving costs depend on site access, the amount of excavation and earthworks required, base thickness, and your chosen material (e.g., standard concrete pavers vs. premium natural stone travertine). Contact us for a free site measure and an exact, fixed-price quote.
