Paving in Swindon
Commercial and domestic paving — footpaths, forecourts and hard standings.
Drainage And Building Groundworks provide paving in Swindon and the surrounding area. Our home town — DAB Groundworks has been working on Swindon sites, driveways and developments for years, from the town centre out to every suburb.
From footpaths and forecourts to courtyards and hard standings, the compacted base and correct falls are what make it last - which is exactly where our groundworks background shows.
Our team is CSCS registered, fully insured and runs its own plant, so we turn up ready to work and to a high standard. Most smaller jobs in Swindon we can price straight away; for larger work a surveyor will pop out to quote.

Paving in Swindon — your questions
What's the difference between paving and a patio?
Not much in method — 'patio' tends to mean a private seating area, 'paving' the broader footways and hard standings. We do both; see our Patios page for gardens.
Can you match existing paving?
Usually — we'll source the closest match to blend a new area into what's already there.
Can you lay paving that matches a conservation area or listed building?
Yes - we can source natural stone, clay pavers or reclaimed materials where a sympathetic match is needed, and we're used to working carefully around existing boundaries and features.
How do you stop paving from becoming slippery?
Choosing a surface with the right slip rating for the location, laying it with consistent falls so water doesn't sit, and keeping joints properly filled all help - we'll advise on the best finish for a busy footpath versus a private courtyard.
How much does paving cost per square metre?
It varies by material - flags, setts or block paving all price differently - and by the base preparation the area needs. We'll measure up and give you an accurate per-square-metre or fixed price.
