Craft & Studio

One crew for the stone, the walls, the pool and the garden

Most outdoor jobs need three trades. We bring paving, bricklaying and landscaping together, so levels, drainage and planting are planned as one job.

Twenty years of laying stone in the Eastern Suburbs

Paving by Design has paved, built and planted hundreds of projects across Sydney's east over more than two decades. We work with the environment rather than against it, and we'd rather build it once and build it right.

Pool Coping & Surrounds

Stone around the water, planting around the stone

Pools are becoming much more popular in the Eastern Suburbs, and we've had the privilege of working on some amazing projects. We build the coping, surround paving, garden beds and retaining walls that turn a pool into part of the garden.

Pools and their surrounds are one of our favourite things to work on. They can be complicated, but they add real luxury to a garden.

Paired with the right plants, a pool can feel like a tropical escape or a resort anywhere in the world. Ask our in-house plant expert which species suit your pool surrounds and the look you want.

Materials & Patterns

Choose the stone, then the way it's laid

The same stone reads differently in a different bond. Pick a material to see where we've used it and the patterns it suits.

How a Project Runs

Four stages from phone call to handover

Timeframes are a typical guide for a front-garden path or courtyard. Larger walls and driveways take longer, and we'll give you dates with your quote.
