Natural stone patio paving installation in West London by Cutting Hedge

The right stone for every space

A great patio starts with the right material. We work with a carefully chosen range of premium stone and porcelain so your paving suits both the style of your home and the way you use the garden. Choose from Indian sandstone, sawn limestone, slate, granite, travertine, tumbled setts, driveway blocks and decorative circle features — each selected for its colour, texture and durability.

The slab you pick adds real value to your property, so we help you get it right. We advise on colour and edging to complement your brickwork, suggest finishes that suit a contemporary or traditional garden, and tailor the design to your budget. We measure the area, calculate the exact square metres needed, and finish every joint with modern epoxy pointing mortars for a clean, weed-resistant result.

Drainage designed in, not added on

Water run-off is the detail that separates a patio that lasts from one that doesn't. Every paved area we build is planned around correct drainage from the outset — grading levels, directing flow and, where needed, installing soakaways, ACO brick-slot drains and channel drainage. The result is a patio that stays usable through the wettest London winter and meets current drainage requirements. We'll meet you on site, talk through the area you'd like paved and bring samples so you can choose with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers from the Cutting Hedge team.

How much does garden paving cost in London?

The cost of paving depends on the area in square metres, your choice of paving stone and the ground preparation needed. Natural sandstone and porcelain are popular, well-priced options; granite and sawn stone are at the premium end. We measure the area and provide a free, itemised quote so you know exactly what the paving will cost before work begins.

What paving materials do Cutting Hedge install?

We install a wide range of natural stone and manufactured paving, including Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, slate, granite, travertine, tumbled setts, driveway blocks and circle paving. As an approved London Stone installer we can supply their full range of premium paving.

Do you handle drainage and water run-off for patios?

Yes. Proper drainage is essential for any paved area. We design every patio to manage water run-off correctly using soakaways, ACO brick slot drains and channel drains where required, so your paving complies with drainage regulations and stays usable year round.

Which areas of London do you cover for paving?

We install paving and patios across West and South West London, including Ealing, Chiswick, Richmond, Barnes, Hammersmith, Fulham, Putney, Twickenham and Kingston upon Thames. Contact us to confirm we cover your area.

How long does a paving project take?

A standard patio can take a few days to a week depending on size and ground conditions; larger or more complex jobs take longer. We give you a realistic programme as part of your quote and keep you updated throughout the build.

We nearly used Cutting hedge at our previous property, but instead went with a cheaper firm and we regretted it a year later when the garden looked a mess due to poor work. This time we made the right choice and used Cutting Hedge. Their team patiently helped us with the design through a few iterations and ideas, they made us aware of all costs up front and were pro’s from beginning to end. I would highly recommend them, all of their staff are professional and a dream to work with. I have attached some before during and after shots.

Always professional and reliable and able to help and advise on what to do in our garden. Top marks! Marc and his team have just installed a beautiful pergola on our patio. I cannot praise them all enough for their hard work, reliability and professionalism. I highly recommend Cutting Hedge to anyone who needs both gardening work and maintenance plus any other structural work in the garden. Thank you!

We have renovated houses and gardens on three continents and this is probably the best crew that have worked for us. They were professional, polite and pedantic! I also really appreciated that they took the time to explain everything and give options - so at the end of the day there were no surprises with the finished result or with the budget. It wasn't an easy project (there was a lot of important foundation work that had to be done) and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. I do not hesitate for a split second giving them this rating.

I have just come across one of your van drivers on Hampton Hill high street. And he was the rudest most belligerent and intolerant driver...not hood for your advertising and if that's how you conduct your business I feel sorry for your customers!

Marc was so helpful, efficient and very thorough in all aspects of planning, and installation. He kept in constant touch with us about progress and plans. The equipment he installed seems top notch and I am looking forward to having a well irrigated garden. Alfredo was such a hard worker, worth two men! He was very friendly, efficient and respectful of the garden while he was working. All the work was done in a timely fashion and completed as estimated. I thoroughly recommend Cutting Hedge landscapes.
