What we lay

Patios and paving are what we do. If it is stone, it goes down outside your house and it has to last, it is the kind of work we do.

  • Patios

    Patio areas laid from the ground up, with the edging, falls and finish done properly so the stone looks right and drains right for years.

  • Sandstone paving

    Natural sandstone laid in mixed sizes, including Mint Fossil sandstone, with every stone cut and set by hand.

  • Paths, and extending old paving

    New pathways, and new sections added onto paving you already have, matched in colour, texture and pattern so the join disappears.

  • Rendered walls

    Rendered walls, raised beds and seating walls built alongside the patio, so the whole space is finished in one go.

  • Hardscaping

    The hard landscaping around the house: patios, paths, steps and walls, planned together rather than piece by piece.

  • Advice before you buy

    Honest advice on suitable paving slabs, edging stones, drainage and maintenance before a single slab is ordered.

Even the step at the back door gets the same edge and the same care as the patio itself.

Small details are what people notice every day: a step that sits level, an edge that lines up, a joint that runs true.

New stone, matched to the old

Adding onto paving that went down years ago is one of the hardest jobs in the trade. Colour, texture and pattern all have to line up.

Exceptional Craftsmanship – Niall Exceeded Our Expectations! We recently had Niall extend our existing sandstone paving with a beautifully crafted pathway, and we couldn’t be more impressed with his work. This was an addition to paving we had done years ago, and Niall seamlessly matched the new section with the old, demonstrating incredible skill and attention to detail. His craftsmanship is outstanding—every stone was carefully cut and positioned to blend perfectly with the existing paving, creating a flawless, natural look. He took the time to ensure that the colours, textures, and patterns aligned beautifully, making it impossible to tell where the old paving ends and the new begins. Beyond his exceptional workmanship, Niall was professional, punctual, and meticulous in his approach. He worked efficiently while maintaining a clean and tidy workspace, showing great respect for our property throughout the project. We are absolutely thrilled with the result and highly recommend Niall to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated tradesperson. His expertise and passion for quality work truly set him apart!

How a job runs

No surprises. You know what is going down, when we will be there and what the place will look like when we leave.

  1. We meet you first

    Niall calls out to talk through what you want, walks the space with you and gives you a clear idea of what will work.

  2. The right stone

    You get straight advice on slabs, edging stones, drainage and how to look after the finished patio.

  3. Started and finished on time

    We start when we say we will, stay on site until the job is done and finish within the time frame we agree.

  4. Tidy as we go

    The site is kept tidy and clean while we work, and the place is left spotless when the job is finished.

Rain or shine, we work through the weather to get the job done, and we stay on site until it is finished.

I knew that I was booking a highly skilled tradesman when I managed to get Niall to create my patio area. But his work exceeded all expectation. Prompt, clean, professional. Clinton & Niall worked in all weather to get the job done. Absolute gentlemen. Looking forward to enjoying many years in this area. Thank you Niall.

Niall did an excellent job for me. He came when he said he would come. He was easy to get along with, and he has a serious attention to detail. He made sure i got exactly what I was looking for, and he left the place spotless when the job was done. I'd definitely use him again, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Brian RogersGoogle review

Absolutely delighted with the work Niall did on our patio and rendered walls. His work is incredible, very neat and great attention to detail. Niall and the lads even worked hard to keep our property tidy and clean as they went. Nothing was a problem, and they stayed on site until the job was completed. Would highly recommend Niall and will definitely get him back for any future hardscaping projects!

We are very satisfied with Niall Daly. We employed him to do our patio. He met with us initially to discuss our requirements. He gave us very good advice on suitable paving slabs, edging stones, drainage and maintenance. He was true to his word, starting and completing the job within the arranged time frame. He was professional in his approach. We are delighted with our patio and have no hesitation in recommending him.
