What we lay

Every drive and patio individually designed for your house.

We design each job to blend with the age and style of your property and the garden around it, and we always dig the foundations deep enough that there is no sinkage in the long term.

  • Block paving and setts

    Residential or commercial paving of all kinds. We can recommend the right paving for thickness, colour, design or manufacturer, totally renew your driveway, or match into an existing drive to extend it.

  • Resin bound gravel

    Our speciality. Stone bonded to your existing base with a high performance two part PU resin, giving a hard wearing, long lasting, stunning look for drives, paths and patios.

  • Natural stone patios

    Natural sandstone, granite, limestone and slate, Indian paving and old reclaimed slabs, laid to suit the age and style of your property and garden.

  • Porcelain paving and steps

    Porcelain patios, paths and steps, including steep flights of steps concreted and tiled where no machinery can reach.

  • Tarmac and concrete

    Tarmacadam and concrete surfacing for driveways and commercial ground, and mixed with block paving, gravel, granite setts or cobbles for a truly unique look.

  • Walling

    Drystone, brick, block, rendered and railway sleeper walls. Retaining walls, garden walls, field walls, boundary walls and street walls, all built to suit your requirements.

Your driveway is not just a place to park your car. It is the welcome mat to your home, and the first impression people get.

Steep sites and awkward access

Where the machinery can’t get in, the work still gets done.

“Dom and his son did a fabulous job of a tricky garden that we have. Firstly he removed old sleepers for 12 very steep steps and had to then concrete them before laying porcelain tiles. You can’t get any machinery to the rear of our house so everything had to be done manually and we have a 1 in 3 upwards gradient garden.

He then removed sandstone tiles from the rear and side of the house as well as removing a line of deeply rooted laurels. The previous sandstone tiles had just been spotted with concrete when they were laid so all the ground was uneven. After relaying porcelain tiles which are much trickier to handle than sandstone he also built a fence and gate which he made himself rather than fence paneling as it is a lot stronger.

It all looks incredible and has added so much value to our house. It was time consuming and required a lot of attention to detail and this is where Dom excels as he treats it as if it was his own garden which is a very rare find.

Dom or his son never bothered us they just got on with the job and were not intrusive in any way and also spoke to the neighbours and were very polite and conscientious.

I cannot recommend them enough and I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

We have some other steps were we want the paving changed and we won’t be using anyone else and would prefer to wait till Dom was available.

Dom has taken a video of all the work which I’m sure you can find online.

Thanks again, we are very very happy!!”

How a job runs

Every project is different, but the steps we take follow the same simple rules.

  1. 1

    Initial meeting

    Dominic Cafferty, our director, visits you to talk through your wish list and see the site. We suggest design ideas and materials that will suit the style of your house.

  2. 2

    Follow up meetings

    Your chance to look at the suggested designs and see samples of the materials. Once you are 100% happy with the design, we agree a start date and make a plan.

  3. 3

    The work

    The exciting part, when the design starts to come together. Be warned: as work progresses it can look worse before it gets better. Trust us, the finished job will meet all your expectations.

  4. 4

    Completion

    Your new drive or patio is left spotlessly clean with all rubble and rubbish removed. All you have to do is enjoy it, and invite your friends round to show off a little!

  • “Dom laid our 60m² patio, path, retaining wall and fence in challenging condition with difficult access but amazingly found a way to complete a very professional job. No corners cut, everything done by the book and alterations requested by myself mid job were taken in his stride. There maybe be cheaper and faster out there but they certainly won't match quality!”

  • “Dom helped us out with a client we had , due to his disabilities, he couldn't leave the house. Dom was very professional, made the gentleman feel at ease , helped him move some stuff from his out house, shed and garden that he had not been able to do in the last 6 years. Dom also helped him with a few things in the house. He went above and beyond. We use dom now as the gentleman has gained trust with dom. You can't find many decent people about like dom. Highly recommended 👌”

  • “Dom and his team did a great job of our terraced patios and steps.we had a number of prices but most were put off with the lack of accessibility around our property but it didn’t phase Dom and the team at pro paving great job would definitely recommend.”
