What Is Paving?
Paving involves laying individual units -- bricks, concrete pavers, or natural stone -- on a prepared base to create durable outdoor surfaces. In Perth, paving is used for driveways, patios, alfresco areas, pool surrounds, pathways, and courtyards.
Perth homeowners typically choose between clay brick pavers (the classic Perth choice with excellent durability), concrete pavers (wider range of colours and shapes at a lower price), and natural stone (travertine, granite, or limestone for a premium finish). Each material suits different areas and budgets.

Perth-Specific Considerations
Sandy subbase: Perth's sandy soils are actually well suited to paving when properly compacted with a crushed limestone base. Most Perth paving contractors use a 75-100mm crushed limestone base topped with 25mm of bedding sand -- a system proven over decades in Perth conditions.
Heat underfoot: Perth summers mean paved surfaces get hot. For barefoot areas like pool surrounds, choose lighter-coloured pavers. Travertine and light limestone stay noticeably cooler than dark brick or concrete pavers.
Drainage on sand: Perth's natural drainage works in your favour for paving. Permeable paving options allow water to filter through joints directly into the sandy subsoil, reducing runoff and meeting water-sensitive urban design requirements.
Local supply: Perth has excellent access to locally manufactured brick and concrete pavers from suppliers like Midland Brick, Urbanstone, and Austral. Buying local keeps costs down and delivery times short.
