Paving St Marys

Paving Contractors in St Marys

St Marys records some of the hottest summer days in Sydney, and that changes what we recommend. Charcoal pavers and black porcelain look sharp in a showroom but become uncomfortable underfoot out here by mid morning. For St Marys patios and pool surrounds we steer people toward lighter sandstone tones, unfilled travertine or a pale exposed aggregate that reflects more heat and stays usable right through January.

The suburb has plenty of older brick and fibro homes with single-width driveways that no longer suit two-car households. Widening one is straightforward work, but it has to be done properly. The new strip needs the same base depth as the original, a clean joint against the existing slab so the two do not part company, and a widened layback approved by Penrith City Council if the crossing itself is changing width at the kerb.

Drainage is the third thing we plan for in St Marys. Storms here arrive fast and heavy, so a paved area that only just falls away from the house will pond and eventually push moisture back against the brickwork. We set a clear fall of at least one in one hundred across patios, keep the finished surface well below the damp course and add a grated drain wherever the paving is boxed in by fences on both sides.
