Pavers are ordered by area, kerbs by running length.
Allow for cutting at edges and around obstacles. Colours, sizes and designs shown as examples are not a statement of what is held. Availability varies by grade, size, thickness, length, brand, quantity and specification. Current status is confirmed at quotation.

Questions
Frequently asked
What paver thickness do I need?
It follows what will use the surface — foot traffic and vehicle traffic are different specifications. Tell us the use and the area, and options can be quoted against it.
How do I work out paver quantity?
By area, plus an allowance for cutting at edges and around obstacles. Use the area calculator, then tell us the paver size.
