Why Choose a Paving Slab Base?

Paving slab bases are one of the smartest choices for garden structures — particularly greenhouses, smaller sheds, bike stores, and bin stores. They offer a neat, attractive finish at the most affordable price point of any base type we install, with the added benefit of natural drainage through permeable joints.

Every paving slab base we install is built to last. We excavate to stable ground, lay and compact a MOT Type 1 sub-base, prepare a sand and cement bed, and lay each slab individually — levelling every one to within ±3mm. The result is a flat, durable platform that's ready for immediate use, with no curing time required. All backed by our 10-year written guarantee.

Craig Phillips

A Slabbed Base Is the Smart Choice for Greenhouses

"For most greenhouses, a slabbed base is the ideal solution. The permeable joints let rainwater drain away naturally — which matters more than people think. Standing water around a greenhouse base leads to algae, slippery paths, and damp problems. A properly laid slabbed base avoids all of that, looks great, and costs less than concrete. It's what I recommend for most greenhouse customers."

Paving Slab Base FAQs

A paving slab base is a level platform made from high-quality paving slabs laid on a prepared sand and cement bed over compacted MOT Type 1 hardcore. Each slab is individually levelled and the joints are left permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the base rather than pooling on the surface. It's one of the neatest, most attractive base types we offer — and one of the most affordable.
