Whether you need a new driveway, a patio for the garden, or paving around a commercial property, the team at Landart Drives & Patios Ltd will give you an honest assessment, a fair price and work that lasts. We are Marshalls and Bradstone approved installers, and every job comes with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
We have been working across Plymouth for decades and we know the ground conditions here well. Plymouth sits on a mix of clay, made ground and moorland across different postcodes, which means sub-base specification matters more than most contractors will tell you. Get it wrong and you get a driveway that sinks, shifts or cracks within a few years. We get it right first time.

Block Paving Driveways
The most popular choice in Plymouth. Durable, attractive and easy to repair if a block is damaged. Available in a wide range of colours and patterns, including Marshalls and Bradstone ranges.
A smooth, permeable surface that looks clean and modern. Resin bound paving is low maintenance. A permeable installation also needs a suitable base and drainage design.
Fast to install, hard-wearing and cost-effective. We lay red and black tarmac for both domestic and commercial properties across Plymouth, with decorative edging options available.
Natural stone, Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, granite and more. We design and lay patios to match your outdoor space and budget, with a proper sub-base so they stay level.
Front path, side access, garden walkway or commercial footpath. We lay clean, durable paving for all types of pathways using the same materials and standards as our driveways.
If you need a dropped kerb to create or improve driveway access, we can manage the application process with Plymouth City Council and carry out the work once approved.
We are a family business, not a large outfit that sends different contractors each time. When you call us, you deal with us directly. The crew that surveys your driveway is the same crew that lays it.
Proper sub-base preparation
Plymouth’s ground conditions vary significantly between neighbourhoods. In Devonport and St Budeaux you can hit made ground. In Plympton and Plymstock the soil is often heavy clay. We dig to the right depth, lay the correct type and depth of sub-base, and compact it properly before a single paving unit goes down. That preparation is what keeps your driveway looking good in 10 years.
Marshalls and Bradstone approved
Our approved status with Marshalls and Bradstone means we install their products to the manufacturer’s specification. That matters because it affects the product guarantee. If you buy Marshalls block paving, you want it laid by a Marshalls approved contractor.
5-year workmanship guarantee
Every paving job we complete comes with a 5-year workmanship guarantee. If anything moves, sinks or fails due to how it was laid, we come back and fix it. No arguments.

Do I Need Planning Permission for Paving in Plymouth?
Planning requirements depend on where the paving is laid and how rainwater is managed. For front garden paving in England, the government guidance says that an impermeable driveway covering more than five square metres needs planning permission if runoff is not directed to a permeable area. Permeability depends on the whole installation, including the surface, joints, bedding and base. Check any property-specific restrictions with the local planning authority. Read the government guidance on paving front gardens.

Paving in Plymouth: Your Questions Answered
How long does driveway paving take to install in Plymouth?
Most residential driveways take one to three days depending on size and the surface chosen. Tarmac is the quickest, block paving takes slightly longer due to the individual laying process. We will give you a realistic timeline when we quote.
What is the best type of paving for a Plymouth driveway?
It depends on your budget, how the ground performs in your area and what you want it to look like. Block paving is the most popular choice because it is durable and repairable. Resin bound is increasingly popular where people want a clean, modern finish. We can walk you through the options when we visit.
Do you provide a written quote before starting work?
Yes, always. We visit your property, assess the ground conditions and give you a written quote before any work begins. There is no obligation to proceed and no deposit required to get a quote.
Can you lay paving over an existing driveway?
Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the condition of the existing surface and sub-base. Laying on top of a failing base just transfers the problem. We will be straight with you about whether it is worth it or whether you need a full dig-out.
