Driveways
Planning regulation proposals may soon change the ease with which altering your driveway will be possible. However at the moment this is still the best way to improve the first impression a visitor gets when they visit your home. It can also significantly add value to your home should that be a consideration.
Other websites can give a rundown on the various technicalities, such as www.pavingexpert.com but at Pagets we would strongly urge you to use a reliable contractor and you will get what you pay for! A poorly prepared site will develop ruts and could mess up your drainage system and in some cases affect your home if the new driveway butts up to your house at or near the damp proof course level. After these words of caution do not be put off. A suitably prepared base will allow to have the kind of surface you want from standard rectangular block paving to tegular blocks to natural setts to natural stone paving slabs to gravel.

Patios & Paths
Outdoor living has many attractions and a new patio will greatly enhance your ability to make the most of the space you have available. The range of materials available is wide and varied in both texture and colour from white chippings through to black limestone.
On the internet we cannot reproduce the true colours or texture via your computer screen. It provides only a vague representation of the product and its features. This is why Pagets has invested in an extensive and we believe a very helpful display area at our Broadfield Road site. There you will get time to see the real colours and textures and design ideas so that you your investment ends up being what you wanted. It is not the kind of project that you can simply undo like a pair of curtains or carpet.
For technical advice again we would refer you to www.pavingexpert.com

Walling
Sheffield is blessed(?) with many hills and as a result many homes have sloping gardens which may require walls to act as retainers for soil or to create raised beds. Suitable positioning can create that flat area for a patio and, because of the geometry, the walls are very visible so some consideration should be given to the choice of materials.
Pagets has a range of reconstituted walling blocks and natural stone walling to complement the patio materials that you may be considering
