The Value of Expertly and Thoughtfully Installed Paving
Your home’s paved surfaces are more than just a place to walk, park, or entertain, they bring interest and practicality to your exteriors. Whether it’s a welcoming front path, a cosy alfresco space, or a robust driveway, your paving can play an important role in how exactly you use, enjoy, and feel about your property.
When your paving is crafted with heart, care, and millimetre-perfect accuracy, your home and exterior receive significant benefits, in looks, safety, value, and lifestyle.

Paving Repairs and Maintenance
If your existing paving needs maintenance, we offer a full range of services, including repairs, joint-filling, paver replacement, and levelling. And, we can also clean and seal them to restore them to their best condition and provide long-term protection.
Paver Base Laying
Concrete pavers can be laid on a flexible crushed rock/sand base, while natural stone, like bluestone, really needs a concrete slab and adhesive fixings. We consider paver thickness, weight, and your usage needs to create a secure and stable base.
Paving Drainage
Water needs to go somewhere. All our paving takes into account drainage, ensuring water is channelled away from your home … doesn’t pool, degrade pavers, or undermine bases. This can be through grading, water channels, or permeable gaps.
Concreting
This can be an alternative option to paving for patios, pathways, and driveways. Laid concrete can give you a strong, clean, and rapidly installed surface that can stand up to heavy traffic, both foot and car. We handle all excavation, framing, and finishing.

Paving Services FAQs
How Much Is Paving per Square Meter?
Paving costs depend on a number of factors, including:
- Paving material.
- Size and shape of the area.

- Type of base needed.
- Drainage needs.
- Site accessibility.

At Contemporary Landscapes, we only give transparent, detailed quotes that are tailored to your requirements, meaning you only pay for what you need.
Can I Put Pavers on Top of Old Concrete?
Sometimes. It may be possible to lay pavers over existing works, but it heavily depends on the condition, stability, and material of what’s already there. Contemporary Landscapes will thoroughly investigate your particular circumstances and advise whether removal and a new base are required.
What Is the Best Way To Seal Pavers?
Sealing pavers ensures your pathways and driveways look amazing, can withstand dirt and moisture, and look incredible for the many years to come.
At Contemporary Landscapes, we start with a nice, thorough cleaning before sealing. This makes sure that the sealant sticks properly and stops any residue from being trapped underneath. We then precisely apply a high-quality sealer that’s suitable for the type of paver and the finish you require.
We include sealing as part of our paving process, and offer additional sealing as part of our repair, renovation, and maintenance services.
How Do You Maintain Pavers?
Pavers in general are pleasingly low-maintenance. If you sweep them regularly, give them an occasional washing, and keep all the joints free from weeds, you can keep them looking great and increase their lifespan. Sealing and resealing can also help. We will advise you on the best upkeep methods for your chosen pavers.
