The groundwork matters most.

A great finished result isn't just about what you see on the surface. The preparation, materials and attention to detail all play an important part.

  • Preparation firstDigging out, sub-base and levels are done properly before any surface goes down.
  • The right materialsMaterial, colour, laying pattern and edge detail are chosen around your property and how you use it.
  • Care to the finishThe work is built carefully and the site is cleaned up properly at the end.

Lawn Bros Paving & Landscaping is based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, with more than twelve years spent in hard landscaping.

Block paving, driveways, patios, and driveway cleaning and sealing are at the centre of the work. The interactive planner also lets customers compare porcelain paving slabs, sandstone slabs, limestone, granite setts, natural turf and artificial grass before a site visit.

Every job is drawn around the property rather than pulled off a shelf: material, colour, laying pattern and edge detail are discussed with you before any work starts.

Interactive plan-your-job tool

Build the look before the site visit.

Choose the project, compare paving materials, switch colours and layouts, add an edge detail, then turn the result into a ready-to-send project brief.

The preview is an indicative design aid, not a product sample or quotation. Natural colour variation, batch differences, drainage, access and ground conditions are confirmed during a site visit.

01 What are you planning?

The project type changes the preview and filters out unsuitable surface choices.

02 Choose a surface material

Select a material family. Options that do not suit the chosen project are automatically unavailable.

Compare block paving colours such as charcoal, brindle, buff and red; porcelain finishes including anthracite, grey, ivory and beige; sandstone tones such as Kandla grey, Raj green, autumn brown and buff; plus limestone, granite setts, natural turf and artificial grass.

03 Choose a layout or finish

Block paving can be previewed in herringbone, stretcher bond and basketweave layouts.

04 Choose a colour or tone

Digital colours are approximate. Lawn Bros can bring physical samples when the job is discussed.

05 Add an edge detail

Use a matching edge, a contrasting border or a granite sett detail to frame the surface.

06
