Paving Built for the Trent Valley Climate
Burton Upon Trent sits within the Trent Valley, an area characterized by higher humidity and moisture levels. When choosing garden slabs in Burton Upon Trent, it is essential to select materials that offer high slip-resistance and low maintenance. Our outdoor porcelain slabs are particularly popular locally; they feature an R11 anti-slip rating and near-zero porosity, making them highly resistant to the moss and algae growth often found in damp Staffordshire gardens.
For homes with a more classic aesthetic, our Indian Sandstone offers a timeless, hand-dressed finish that complements the local red-brick architecture. To see why stone is a better long-term investment than wood or gravel, read our guide on choosing the right patio surface.
Expert Tip: Ground Preparation near the River Trent
Because much of Burton sits on alluvial or sandy-gravel soils, the stability of your sub-base is critical. To prevent your garden slabs from shifting or "rocking" over time, we recommend a robust 150mm sub-base of MOT Type 1 aggregate. In areas prone to higher water tables near the river, ensuring a consistent fall to direct water away from the house is vital. For more technical details, see our installation guide.

The Smart Way to Shop Premium Garden Slabs
Unlike standard budget concrete flags, our premium garden slabs are designed to enhance your property’s kerb appeal and resale value. They offer high compressive strength, ensuring they won't crack under the weight of heavy garden planters or seasonal furniture. By choosing quality paving slabs, you ensure your garden remains a safe, attractive space for decades.
Planning Advice: When ordering your garden slabs, always **add 10% extra** to your measurements. This allows for essential cuts around corners and any minor wastage during the installation process. Consult our size and thickness guide for help choosing the right specification.

Burton Paving FAQs
Do you deliver garden slabs to residential streets in Burton?
Yes. We deliver via tail-lift vehicles to most residential addresses. All we require is a flat, hard surface (like a driveway or kerbside) for the safe offloading of the pallets.
Which is better for a Burton garden: Porcelain or Sandstone?
Porcelain is ideal if you want a maintenance-free, modern look that resists algae. Sandstone is perfect for a more natural, traditional appearance but requires regular sealing to protect the stone's colour. Visit our Maintenance Guide for more tips.
Do garden slabs require sealing?
Sealing is highly recommended for natural stone like sandstone and limestone to prevent staining. Porcelain is non-porous and does not require sealing.
How do I manage drainage for my new patio?
A well-installed patio should always have a 1:60 or 1:80 fall. In heavier soils common in the Midlands, a soakaway or drainage channel may also be necessary. See our Drainage Guide for more help.
