IBP Paving

Residential and commercial

Every paving project begins with a clear vision and ends with a beautifully finished surface that’s both practical and stylish. Whether it’s a welcoming front driveway, a relaxing patio space, a neat garden path, or a tidy courtyard, each area is carefully planned to suit the look and feel of your home. Paving is installed with precision, creating a clean, level surface that not only looks great but also stands up to everyday use. It’s all about blending form and function, making outdoor spaces more enjoyable, more usable, and more attractive.

Proper prep means a solid start

A great paving job starts from the ground up - literally. Before a single paver is laid, the area is properly prepared to ensure a strong, stable foundation. This includes clearing the site, levelling the ground, and using high-quality base materials to support the surface. Once the groundwork is done, the paving is laid evenly and finished with care, creating a surface that’s built to last. Whether it’s for foot traffic, vehicles, or outdoor entertaining, the result is a durable, great-looking space that’s ready for everyday life.

Repairs & replacement

Old paving doesn’t always need to be completely replaced. In many cases, a simple refresh can bring it back to life. Damaged or uneven sections can be removed and repaired, new materials can be added where needed. It’s a straightforward way to give outdoor spaces a fresh new look without starting from scratch. Whether it’s a few loose pavers or a section that’s seen better days, a little attention can make a big difference

Sunken paving repairs

Over time, paving can shift or sink, especially in areas with heavy use or poor drainage. This not only looks messy but can also become a safety hazard. The good news is that it can be fixed. Problem sections are carefully lifted, the base is rebuilt and stabilised, and the pavers are re-laid to create a smooth, even surface. The result is a safer, more attractive area that’s easier to walk on and much easier to maintain. It’s a practical solution that restores both function and appearance.

Clear the way for new paving

Before new paving can be installed, the old surface needs to be removed. This step is all about getting the site clean, clear, and ready for the next stage. Damaged materials are taken away, the area is tidied up, and the ground is prepared for a fresh start. It’s an important part of the process that ensures the new paving will be laid on a solid, stable base. With everything cleared and prepped, the space is ready to be transformed into something new .

Small retaining walls

Small retaining walls are a great way to give your garden beds or landscaping a bit of extra support (and they look good too). It starts with a simple plan, then choosing the right materials to suit your outdoor area. Once the wall is built, it helps keep everything in place and adds a neat, polished look to your home.

Expert advice

When it comes to paving, good planning makes all the difference. From choosing the right materials to deciding on the best layout, a little thought at the start goes a long way. Whether it’s a driveway that needs to handle heavy vehicles or a patio designed for relaxing weekends, selecting the right type of paver and design ensures the finished result is both practical and attractive. For those unsure where to begin, exploring layout ideas and material options is a great way to get inspired and start the project on the right foot.

Fancy doing some DIY?

For those who love a bit of DIY, getting started on a paving project can be exciting—but also a little daunting. That’s where a bit of early support can make a big difference. The site can be cleared and levelled, and with some helpful advice on what to do next, it’s much easier to move forward with confidence. Whether it’s tips on laying patterns, choosing materials, or preparing the base, a little guidance at the beginning sets the stage for a successful, satisfying project.

Drainage done right

One of the most important parts of any paving project is something that’s often hidden -drainage. Without proper drainage, water can pool on the surface, causing damage and making areas slippery or unsafe. That’s why drainage systems and soakwells are installed before the paving goes down. These systems help move water away from the surface, keeping outdoor areas dry, safe, and easy to maintain. It’s a behind-the-scenes step that plays a big role in the long-term success of the project.

Low garden walls

Low garden walls are more than just a pretty addition to your outdoor space – they’re practical too; not only do they add charm and character, but they also offer essential support for garden beds and help define areas in your garden with style and structure. Whether you're after a classic, modern, or rustic look, the materials for your garden wall will be thoughtfully selected to blend beautifully with the overall look and feel of your home.
