What we lay

Paving, patios and the groundworks that hold them

Patio specialists experienced in all aspects of paving and groundworks. Every photograph on this page is our own work, in and around Newcastle.

Block paving driveway with contrasting border course

Block Paved Driveways

Laid on a full depth compacted sub-base with edge restraints haunched in concrete, so the courses stay true and the edges do not creep.

Porcelain patio with raised beds and pergola

Patios & Porcelain

Our speciality. Porcelain, sandstone and natural stone laid to falls on a full mortar bed, with the joints and the levels right.

Grey block paved driveway between brick pillars

Tumbled & Textured Setts

Marshalls, Tobermore and Talasey ranges, laid in herringbone, stretcher or a pattern you choose in the design app first.

Landscaped garden with lawn, paving and planting

Full Garden Landscaping

Levels, retaining walls, planting beds, lawn and paving handled as one job by one crew, not four separate trades.

Excavator and plant machinery on a groundworks site

Groundworks & Excavation

Our own plant on site. Dig out, muck away, levels, drainage and sub-base built before a single flag is set down.

Rendered garden walls with lighting and porcelain paving

Walls, Steps & Lighting

Rendered planters, sleeper edging, steps and recessed lighting built into the paving while the base is still open.

See your patio before we build it

We run the Tobermore design app, so you see exactly what your patio or driveway will look like on your own house before any work starts. No guessing from a brochure, no regret when the pallets arrive.

Open seven days, 6am to 10pm

Monday to Sunday. If you can only look at samples after work or on a Sunday morning, that is when we will come.

No deposit taken for materials

We do not ask you to fund the pallets before we start. The materials are our problem until they are on your drive.

A written five to ten year guarantee

On paper, with the company number on it. Company 14070113, registered in England.

How we build it

A driveway fails from the bottom up

Almost every sunken, cracked, weed-split drive in the North East failed for the same reason. Someone saved a day on the excavation. Here is what happens under ours.

Our crew and plant machinery excavating a driveway before the sub-base goes down

Dug out and taken away

Excavated to the depth the build-up needs, and the spoil goes on the wagon. It does not get raked to the side and buried under your new paving.

Compacted sub-base

Type 1 stone laid and whacked in layers, not tipped in one go. This is the part nobody ever sees and the only part that decides whether it sinks.

Edges and falls first

Edge restraints haunched in concrete and the levels set to fall away from the house, so water goes where we send it rather than where it wants to.

Laid, jointed, swept

Blocks or flags set, joints filled and compacted, the site brushed down and the skip gone. We walk the finished job with you before we load up.

5–10 Year written guarantee

Given in writing, from a registered limited company. North East Paving & Groundworks Ltd, company number 14070113, incorporated 26 April 2022.
