Most residential paving jobs take one to three days for a typical area, four to seven days for larger driveways or full backyard installs, and longer if base prep or demolition is significant. We give you a clear program when we quote.

Depends on application and budget. Brick is the Perth classic — affordable, durable, traditional. Limestone gives you the local Perth aesthetic at a similar price point with slightly more maintenance. Travertine is the premium pool paver — stays cool underfoot, looks luxurious. Porcelain is the modern low-maintenance choice with zero porosity.

Sometimes — depends on condition, level and drainage falls. We assess this during the site visit. In most cases we recommend removing the old surface to ensure proper base preparation and the correct fall away from the house.

Travertine, porcelain and properly finished limestone are the cool-underfoot options for Perth pool surrounds. Travertine is particularly popular because the natural stone genuinely stays cooler than coloured concrete or dark pavers in summer.

Most new paving projects in Perth require coordinated stormwater management because impermeable surfaces redirect runoff. Whether a new soakwell is required depends on existing drainage, paving area and your council’s requirements. We coordinate soakwell installation with the paving where needed.

Sandy soil drains well but provides no inherent support — the base build-up does the work. We excavate to engineered depth, lay and compact a road base sub-base in layers, then a sand bedding course screeded to a uniform depth before pavers go down. Edge restraints lock the perimeter so nothing migrates over time.

All standard patterns — straight lay, staggered/running bond, herringbone, diamond and French pattern. Herringbone is structurally the strongest pattern for driveways. French pattern suits travertine and natural stone. We’ll recommend a pattern based on the area shape, paver size and your home’s style.

Sweep regularly to prevent organic build-up. Top up jointing sand every few years. Seal limestone, sandstone and travertine periodically — typically every 3–5 years. Pressure-wash gently every couple of years. Brick, concrete and porcelain are largely maintenance-free.

Yes. Small courtyards, garden paths through to large driveways, full backyard transformations and commercial paving. Smaller jobs come at a slight per-m² premium because mobilisation and setup are fixed costs.

We supply and install — everything is included in our quoted price. Working with Perth’s leading paver suppliers means we have direct access to the full range and pass through pricing fairly. If you’ve already chosen pavers from a specific supplier we can install those too.

Yes. We’ve delivered commercial paving across Perth — display centres, schools, aged care, carparks and walkways. Heavier base depths, accessibility-compliant gradients, commercial-grade pavers. Engineering certificates supplied where required.
