Plymouth Pavers — Local Paving Contractors With Over 50 Years of Family Experience
Finding a paving contractor in Plymouth who does the job properly is not as straightforward as it should be. The market has plenty of options but quality varies enormously, and a poorly laid driveway or patio is not a problem you discover until the sub-base has already failed, the surface has started to sink, or the drainage has become someone else’s problem.
Landart Drives & Patios is a family-run paving business based in Plymouth, built on over 50 years of hands-on experience in the trade. Miles and the team are approved installers for both Marshalls and Bradstone, the UK’s two most respected paving manufacturers. Every project comes with a 5-year workmanship guarantee and a free, no-obligation site survey. Our 16 five-star Google reviews reflect what consistent, quality work produces over time.

Most homeowners in Plymouth do not commission a new driveway or patio more than once or twice in their lives, which means most people are going through the process of finding a paving contractor for the first time. Knowing what separates a contractor who will do the job properly from one who will not is not always obvious.
Here is what actually matters and why Landart delivers on all of it.
Correct sub-base specification
The visible surface of any paving project is what you see, but the sub-base is what determines whether it lasts. Plymouth’s ground conditions vary considerably across the city. Heavy clay in areas like Plymstock and Plympton, made ground in older parts of the city, and former garden soils with inconsistent compaction all require different approaches to excavation depth, drainage, and sub-base construction. A contractor who gives every job the same specification regardless of site conditions is either inexperienced or cutting corners. We assess the ground on every site visit and specify accordingly.
Manufacturer approved installation
Marshalls and Bradstone operate approved installer schemes that assess contractors on their technical knowledge, installation standards, and quality of finish. Approval is not automatic and it is not permanent. As approved installers for both manufacturers, we install their products to the specification required to keep all product warranties valid. That matters to you because it means two layers of guarantee on the same installation — theirs and ours.
A written guarantee you can rely on
Any reputable paving contractor in Plymouth should be able to offer a written workmanship guarantee. We offer five years as standard, in writing, on every driveway and patio we install. Before you commit to any contractor, ask for the guarantee in writing and check what it actually covers. A verbal assurance that the work is guaranteed means very little if something goes wrong two years later.
Transparent quoting with no hidden extras
Our quotes are fully itemised and cover everything included in the agreed scope of work. We do not add charges once work is underway unless there is a genuine unforeseen issue that changes the scope, in which case we discuss it with you before proceeding. The price you are quoted is the price you pay for the agreed job.

Drop Kerbs and Vehicle Crossovers
If you are creating a new driveway access, you will need a dropped kerb from Plymouth City Council. We advise on the application process as part of your free survey and coordinate the driveway installation around the kerb works to avoid delays and disruption.

How much do paving contractors charge in Plymouth?
Paving contractor costs in Plymouth vary depending on the size of the project, the surface material chosen, the depth of groundwork required, and access to the site. We do not publish fixed prices because every site is different. We provide free, no-obligation written quotes following a site visit, with no hidden extras. Call 01752 916155 to arrange yours. For a guide to what affects costs, read our driveway cost guide for Plymouth.
Do Plymouth paving contractors need planning permission for driveways?
In most cases, no. Residential driveway installations in Plymouth using permeable surfaces fall within permitted development rights and do not require a planning application. Impermeable surfaces without drainage provision may require permission from Plymouth City Council. We advise on planning requirements as part of every free survey. See our full guide: planning permission for driveways in Plymouth.
What guarantee should I expect from a Plymouth paving contractor?
A reputable paving contractor in Plymouth should offer a written workmanship guarantee of at least three years. Landart Drives & Patios offers a 5-year written workmanship guarantee on all driveway and patio installations as standard. If we use Marshalls or Bradstone products, those manufacturer warranties are also fully valid, giving two layers of protection on the same installation.
