What our paving work actually covers

When you book A Bargain Gardener for Paving Services, you’re getting a full install approach—not just “laying pavers and hoping for the best”.

Paving contractors preparing and laying pavers
Finished paved driveway with clean edges

Your paving job can include:

Driveway paving, including entry paths and upgrades that improve day-to-day access

Patio paving for entertaining zones and low-maintenance outdoor living

Walkway and garden path paving to tidy up side access and connect outdoor areas

Pool deck paving (chosen for outdoor conditions and practical use)

Commercial paving for strata and small commercial areas

Interlocking pavers installation, plus repairs and resurfacing where the base is still serviceable

We also build in the basics that affect long-term performance: prep, levels, and sensible drainage/falls so the area doesn’t turn into a puddle zone.

When paving is the right upgrade

Our Paving Sydney service is a good fit if you want a clean, solid finish and you care about how the area will work in real life—cars turning, kids running through, wet weather, bins coming out, and the usual Sydney wear and tear. This is right for you if:

Your driveway or path is uneven or cracked and it’s becoming a trip hazard

You want a patio that’s easy to hose down and doesn’t need constant upkeep

Your pool surrounds are dated and you want a refresh that suits outdoor conditions

You’re planning a bigger backyard upgrade and want paving that ties into the overall design

If the job is part of a bigger outdoor makeover (levels, gardens, drainage, layout), you may also want: Landscaping services.

Common paving issues we fix

Uneven paving that moves over time

Movement usually traces back to base prep, drainage, and edge restraint—not the paver itself. We focus on getting the foundations right so the finish holds.

Pooling water and messy run-off

Paving should be installed with sensible falls and runoff management. NSW guidance for driveways/pathways/paving highlights surface water/runoff disposal requirements for certain exempt works.

Tired outdoor areas that look “unfinished”

A neat paved edge, consistent pattern, and a clean transition to garden beds or turf can lift the whole yard without overcomplicating things.

A space that doesn’t match the rest of the yard

Sometimes paving needs supporting work—like holding back soil or creating usable levels. In those cases, we’ll flag it early and can combine with: Retaining walls.

How your paving project comes together

01

Quick site check + what you want the area to do

We look at how the space is used (parking, foot traffic, entertaining, drainage paths), then confirm the most sensible layout.

02

Measure up + surface and pattern selection

We’ll run you through options—brick, concrete, pavers, stone—based on budget, maintenance and the look you’re chasing. (We keep it plain-English, no hard sell.)

03

Prep and base work

This is where good paving is made. We handle excavation/prep as required, set levels, and create a stable base suited to the job.

04

Lay + cut + finish the edges

We install the paving with consistent lines and clean edges, then lock it in with appropriate jointing and final tidy.

05

Site clean-up

We aim to leave the area tidy and usable—if there’s spoil or old material to remove, we can bundle: Rubbish removal and clean-up.

What to check before choosing a paver

If you’re comparing paving quotes, the cheapest number on the page rarely tells you what you need to know. These are the questions that protect your budget and your finish:

What’s happening under the pavers?

Ask what prep is included: excavation depth, base material, compaction, and how levels/falls are set. That’s what affects movement and pooling.

How will water flow?

Even a great-looking patio becomes annoying if water runs toward the house or pools near doors. NSW paving/driveway guidance for exempt work specifically references managing surface water/run-off.

Is your job likely to need approval?

Some driveways/pathways/paving can be exempt development if it meets required standards, but not every property qualifies. We’ll point you to the right NSW Planning Portal page so you can check (or confirm with council/private certifier if you’re unsure).

Are you deciding between paving and decking?

Decking can suit certain yards better (especially where you want a warm look or you’re bridging uneven ground). If you’re weighing it up, compare with: Decking

Common paving questions from homeowners

Most paving timelines depend on the size of the area, access, the surface you’re replacing, and weather. The key factor is prep—proper base work takes time but is what helps paving stay stable. Once we’ve inspected the area, we can give you a practical timeframe and organise the job so it fits your household or site schedule.

We install a range of paving types including concrete, pavers and natural stone, and we can also discuss brick paving and other finishes depending on the look you want. The right choice depends on budget, maintenance preferences, and where the paving is going (driveway vs patio vs pool area).

Yes—driveway paving is part of our standard scope. We’ll confirm how the driveway is used (cars, utes, turning space), check drainage and falls, and recommend a finish that fits. If you’re unsure about planning/approval requirements for your property, NSW has guidance on when paving/driveways may be exempt development (with standards that must be met).

Yes. Patio paving is a popular way to create a low-maintenance entertaining zone. We’ll help with layout, surface choice, and a tidy transition to lawn or garden beds so it feels like a finished outdoor room. The goal is an area that’s easy to clean, comfortable to use, and practical for Sydney weather and regular foot traffic.

Yes—repairs and resurfacing are available. Whether a repair is worthwhile depends on what’s causing the issue. If the base is failing or water is pooling, simply swapping pavers may not last. We’ll inspect the area and recommend the most practical option—spot repair, partial rebuild, or a full redo—based on the condition and how the area is used.

Yes—pool deck paving is included in our paving scope. Pool areas need extra care around drainage and surface choice so the area works well day-to-day. We’ll talk through the look you want and the practical side (traffic, cleaning, transitions), then recommend a suitable option for your space rather than forcing a one-size choice.

Yes. We can work with you on layout and design so the paving suits your home and the way you use the yard. That might mean choosing a pattern that handles traffic well, setting clean borders, or shaping the paved area to connect the house to garden zones. We’ll keep the design practical, not overcomplicated.

Yes. Maintenance can include cleaning, resealing (where appropriate), and repairs as the area ages. Some surfaces need very little upkeep; others benefit from periodic attention depending on shade, leaf drop, and traffic. We’ll tell you what’s realistic for your chosen material so you’re not signing up for maintenance you don’t need.

We stand behind the quality of our work and we’ll always want you happy with the finish. The most helpful “guarantee” is being clear on what’s included, checking drainage and base prep, and inspecting the result at handover. If something doesn’t look right straight after completion, let us know promptly so we can inspect and talk through a fix.

The fastest way is a quick chat about what you want paved (driveway, patio, path, pool area), then a short site look to confirm access, levels, drainage, and materials. After that, we can give you a clear quote aligned to the scope—so you’re not guessing based on rough square-metre numbers that don’t include the prep work.
