Paving
Paving in Annan
The approach to your front door is the paving people see when they arrive. In Annan, a town of many red sandstone buildings with twentieth-century housing around it, we help homeowners plan entrances, paths and the links between different parts of the garden so they suit the house.
Homes in Annan
Paving in Annan has to work with the town's red sandstone buildings as well as its twentieth-century housing, so the colour and pattern you choose deserve some thought. Combinations of colour widen the choice beyond a plain block. The photo here shows a finished job of ours: a curved step and entrance laid in multitone blocks, an example of how a mix of tones can shape the approach to a door. Annan is near the Solway coast in Dumfriesshire, about 5 miles from our base.
What matters for paving in Annan
Paving in Annan can mark out an entrance, a path or the change between areas of the garden. We plan the layout around how you move about the property so each area meets the next neatly, and it can be laid by itself or as a piece of a larger project. Where it joins existing paving or landscaping, the design can be coordinated so the finished space feels considered.
- Think about the routes you use most, such as gate to door or back door to patio.
- Tell us the approximate size, the existing surface and how we can get to the area.
- Pick colours, combinations and designs that work with the house.
- If a drive is part of the plan, it will last longest on a sub-base that is properly dug and compacted.
Questions about paving in Annan
Can you pave a curved entrance or step rather than a straight one?
Yes. The photo on this page shows our own finished curved step and entrance in multitone block. Layouts are planned around the space available and how you use it, so the shape follows your property.
How will a new path meet the patio or drive I already have?
The design can be coordinated with adjoining paving and landscaping, so a new path or entrance is planned to meet what is there now. Describe the existing surface when you get in touch so we can discuss it.
Can the entrance be done as part of a new driveway?
Yes. Entrance paving can be laid alongside a new drive, and we also create driveways and paths planned around the space and how it will be used.
