Full Garden Landscaping & Paving | Stoke Ferry, Norfolk

What was done

This complete transformation in Stoke Ferry turned an outdoor space into a low-maintenance entertaining garden. The team handled all groundworks and drainage, including a 400mm sub-base and precise grading for seamless transitions between surfaces. Smooth porcelain pavers were laid and connected by Kota limestone setts, with decorative gravel and concrete edging giving crisp definition. To enclose and finish the space, brick walls and an automatic gate were installed. Premium materials were paired with careful construction throughout.

The finished look

The finished garden has a high-end, architectural feel: pale porcelain squares are separated by neat gravel-filled joints and limestone setts, creating a smart grid that wraps around the house and links to the gravel driveway. Brick walls and the automatic gate add privacy and kerb appeal, while the decorative gravel keeps maintenance low. The aerial views show a tidy, well-defined layout ready for dining and relaxing.

Rustic Pond Area & Sandstone Patio | Attleborough, Norfolk

What was done

This complete garden overhaul in Attleborough started from a tired lawn and old pond, and was rebuilt into a relaxed, characterful space. The team laid a new Raj blend Indian sandstone patio, shaping it around sweeping lawns and a newly enlarged pond fitted with armoured electrics. The pond was finished with a generous pebble surround and block-paved edging to the grass. New fencing was installed along the side using concrete posts and concrete gravel boards with close-board panels, and fresh turf completed the planted areas.

The finished look

The finished garden has a warm, rustic feel: the riven sandstone shows natural variation in tone that deepens beautifully when wet, while the curving lawns and pebble-ringed pond give the layout a soft, organic flow. Block-edged turf and crisp new fencing tie the space together, and the aerial views show how the patio, lawns and water feature work as one cohesive design. Browse more of our garden landscaping.

Small Garden Modernisation | Wymondham, Norfolk

What was done

This compact rear garden in Wymondham was reworked to make the most of a tight space. The team laid a run of ocean grey porcelain paving finished with a contrasting natural slate sett border, creating a crisp, low-maintenance surface that runs from the house out toward the lawn. A timber raised sleeper bed was built along the boundary fence and filled with soil ready for planting, and drainage channels were installed to manage surface water and keep the new paving dry underfoot.

The finished look

The result is a simple but effective layout that lifts the whole garden. The pale grey porcelain sits neatly against the dark slate edging for a clean, modern contrast, while the raised sleeper bed adds warmth and a ready-made spot for planting. With a tidy lawn alongside the paving, the space now feels usable and well defined rather than awkward and unfinished. A smart example of how thoughtful garden landscaping can make a small plot work hard.

Front of House Modernisation | Attleborough, Norfolk

What was done

This front garden in Attleborough was given a complete overhaul. The team dug out the old tired lawn and cracked path, installed drainage with a trenched soakaway and channel drain, then laid a new block paving driveway in warm mixed buff and brown tones. A riven sandstone path was built around the side of the house, edged neatly against the brickwork, and fresh turf was laid to finish the remaining garden. The combination of driveway paving and natural stone gives the property a smart, hard-wearing new frontage.

The finished look

The completed frontage is welcoming and practical. The block paving drive sweeps up to the garage and front door with crisp edges and a subtle colour blend that complements the buff brickwork, while the sandstone path adds a softer natural texture around the house. Lush new turf frames the paving, and the discreet drainage channel keeps the surface clear in wet weather. Two other firms had told the customer the work couldn’t be done neatly; the result proves otherwise. A tidy showcase of combined paving and landscaping.

Garden Escape | Watton, Norfolk

What was done

Set within a mature, fully planted garden in Watton, complete with an established pond, this project added a generous sawn buff sandstone patio just off the rear doors. The team worked carefully around the existing borders and pond to lay the natural stone slabs in a mixed-size random pattern, with a smaller rounded section of matching sandstone bedded in beside the water feature. The new patio links the house to the garden without disturbing the planting that was already there, making the most of a well-loved outdoor space.

The finished look

The finished patio has real depth of character. The sawn buff sandstone shifts through soft browns, golds and grey tones, and because no two slabs are alike the surface reads differently dry and wet, the colours deepening richly after rain. Framed by lush planting, climbing flowers on the brick walls and the nearby pond, the paving feels like a natural extension of the garden rather than an addition. A relaxed, characterful spot to sit and enjoy a thoughtfully landscaped garden.

Did Someone Say Curves? | Wymondham, Norfolk

What was done

After two other companies told the customer that curved porcelain was impossible to cut and lay, the team took on the challenge in Wymondham. They laid a large smoke grey porcelain patio that sweeps around the house and out toward the garden in a bold curved shape, edged throughout with a dark slate sett border that follows every curve cleanly. Recessed drainage chamber lids were also fitted, infilled with the same porcelain so the access points blend almost invisibly into the patio rather than showing as plastic covers.

The finished look

The result is a striking, contemporary surface. The smoke grey porcelain has a subtle linear grain and a smart, consistent tone, while the slate sett border traces the sweeping curves to give the whole patio a deliberate, designed feel. The recessed lids sit flush and discreet, keeping the look uninterrupted while preserving easy access to the drainage chambers below. Wrapping neatly from the side path around to the main seating area, it is a clean, low-maintenance space that makes the most of the garden. A confident piece of paving and landscaping.

Honey Limestone Patio | Old Buckenham, Norfolk

What was done

Just outside Old Buckenham we created a warm natural-stone patio for a lovely couple. The work started with removing the old timber decking, then installing KL kerbs around the outer edge to retain the patio, followed by a properly compacted sub-base. We then laid honey limestone — a natural stone where no two slabs are alike — across a generous area, including a raised circular patio feature edged with a curved brick wall and a charcoal sett border. A matching sett step links the levels neatly back to the house.

The finished look

The finished patio has a soft, golden, characterful feel that suits the rustic property beautifully. The mix of warm limestone tones, the reclaimed-look brick circle and the dark sett edging gives the space real depth and a timeless country-garden charm. It’s a spacious, inviting area for sitting out and entertaining, framed by the surrounding gravel and planted borders.

Out With The Old In With The New

What was done

This complete garden makeover centres on a Bianco Cream porcelain patio (from Paving Stones Direct), enhanced with a contrasting slate border that follows a sweeping curved edge between paving and lawn. To complement the porcelain we built raised beds using railway sleepers, chosen for their durability and long life. We also made the back fence rabbit-proof after the customer’s garden kept being invaded, and supplied and fitted two custom-made sheds along with their bases.

The finished look

The pale cream porcelain gives the garden a bright, clean and contemporary feel, with the dark slate edging neatly defining the generous curved patio against the fresh lawn. The robust sleeper beds add warmth and structure for planting, while the matching timber sheds provide smart, practical storage. Together it’s a tidy, hard-wearing and welcoming space that’s set up to be enjoyed for years to come.

Decking Meets Porcelain | Spooner Row, Norfolk

What was done

In Spooner Row we transformed an outdoor space by removing a small existing patio and replacing it with beautiful Italian carbon porcelain tiles, edged with crisp slate borders. Alongside the paving we had smoke oak Millboard decking installed, creating a raised composite deck for furniture and lounging. To finish, we added box hedging to separate the new area from the existing path, giving the layout clear definition.

The finished look

The combination of warm grey-toned composite decking and dark Italian porcelain makes for a stylish, contemporary entertaining area that sits comfortably against the brick property. The slate edging and clipped hedging keep everything looking sharp and intentional, while the decked zone offers a relaxed spot for seating. The result is a spacious, low-maintenance and inviting space for relaxing and hosting outdoors.

Complete Front To Back | Northwold, Norfolk

What was done

This was a full front-to-back transformation in Northwold. Despite frequent bad weather, we completed extensive groundworks including two new soakaways, removing the old boundary wall, and raising the lawn and cesspit chamber to a new level. We then laid around 120m² of beautiful ivory cream porcelain paving, built raised sleeper planters and retaining walls, and extended the driveway — fitting gravel grids at the entrance to stop stone migration.

The finished look

The completed garden is bright, generous and beautifully ordered, with the pale ivory porcelain flowing across multiple levels and through a striking shingle-channel inset. The timber sleeper planters add warmth and useful growing space, while the contrasting dark sett edging frames the paving against fresh lawn. Out front, the extended gravel-grid driveway gives clean, practical parking. Front and back, it’s a genuine “wow” difference for the homeowners.
