Furthermore, here at Base Driveways we can find you paving slabs in a wide choice of different stones so we can create virtually any patterns of paving slabs that you wish in a variety of different colours of natural stone. While it might be a step too far to have a marble slab driveway (although you could if you wanted to) just imagine a marble patio! It would look absolutely stunning and have friends and family talking about it non-stop.

Many people think that marble is white, and there is certainly a lot of white marble about. However, it also comes in many different colours – blues, greens, russet, greys, and even black. A lot of these marble slabs also have considerable veining and patterns within them, which is dependent upon the other minerals that were present when they were formed in the earth’s crust under immense heat and pressure.

Another choice is natural granite slabs which are immensely strong and are perfect for a driveway which has heavy vehicles on it. You might perhaps choose natural slate which is trending at the moment and is becoming extremely popular. It is hand-riven and diamond sawn and comes in that lovely shade of soft blue/black.

You might also like natural sandstone which has tonal variations and different veining in it and will give your driveway or patio that country feel. It is also perfect for cottage gardens for that reason. If your budget is a consideration, then you could choose to have concrete slabs which are an engineered stone that looks like a natural stone.

Whatever type of stone slabs you choose for your driveway or patio, here at Base Driveways we have the skill and experience to lay your stones so that you get the perfect finish. We work throughout Kent and South London, and we are also fully approved by Kent Highways and Medway Council to install drop kerbs if you need one for access.

Furthermore, there are so many different kinds of paving that you can use for a patio that will enhance the appearance of your garden and have guests admiring your selection. At Base Driveways, we can create the perfect patio to your own design and using whatever kind of paving you choose.

Paving slabs in Kent are large paving stones with which you can create patterns. You might want square slabs, but you can also create designs with circles or different sizes of slab. Some people also like to edge the patio with a low brick wall and have a gravel topped narrow earth bed along the inside in which they can grow a variety of plants. It gives a nice clean look and yet you still get the beauty of the plants.

Paving blocks are shaped like bricks and are thicker than slabs. They are available in a range of colours and can be laid at right angles to each other creating a formal pattern, yet with the individuality of different colours laid together. This can give a very pleasing effect.

You can also use stones such as granite, which is an extremely hard-wearing stone and available in a range of colours, or perhaps natural limestone which often has veining and patterns in it which were created by the different minerals present when the limestone was formed all those thousands of years ago.

Sandstone is another choice and also has veining, and can be found in several different colours. Another way to achieve a simple rustic appearance is to use stone cobbles.

At Base Driveways we can create the patio of your choice so that you can enjoy as much as possible of your free time out in the sun and shake off the worries of the working day by relaxing and taking it easy.
