Benefits of expertly installed paving
The main benefit of professionally laid paving is how it looks. Experience and knowledge in any building trade makes a big difference to quality and paving is no exception. However, one of the primary advantages is the longevity and durability of the installation.
Professional landscapers use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure that your paving can withstand the elements and heavy foot traffic. This means fewer repairs and replacements over the years, saving you time and money in the long run. Additionally, expertly installed paving from MODERN OUTDOOR LIVING provides a stable and even surface, reducing the risk of trips and falls, making your outdoor space safer for everyone.
Another significant benefit is the improvement of your property’s street appeal. A beautifully paved driveway or garden path can make a striking first impression on visitors and potential buyers. It’s an investment that pays off by boosting your home’s market value. Our paving services are designed to elevate the overall look of your property, combining functionality with style.
Low-maintenance paving is especially beneficial for busy homeowners who want to enjoy their gardens without spending hours on upkeep. Our paving solutions are designed to be easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to keep your outdoor areas looking pristine with minimal effort.
Our Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Kieran Cumming2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Very reasonable price for a great outcome. Highly recommend his services! Chris Leat2024-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Modern Outdoor Living contacted us after posting our Backyard renovation job on Bark. Danny came to our home and we had a really good conversation about budget, timelines, expectations and our "vision". Neither my partner nor I had ever done any type of backyard renovation before so we were complete novices. Danny was really patient, obviously knowledgeable, experienced and most importantly; reliable and consistent. He was able to answer our novice questions and guide us in the right direction. Certain daunting aspects of our project (a drainage easement and sloping ground) did not phase him and he came up with a neat and compliant solution. When work started we watched Danny's subcontractors start and finish exactly according to schedule. The job took about 8 weeks and during that time all of the staff on site worked hard, were respectful of our home and took pride in the quality of the result. Our family became good friends with the regular faces working in our backyard throughout the project. As we neared completion it was obvious that Danny had really captured what we were looking for; we stayed on budget and despite delays from a window supplier the job was complete and ready for summer. We also worked with the Horticulturalist recommended by Modern Outdoor Living and our brief for "low maintenance natives" was planted as we requested. Watching the plants thrive and recede over the summer to winter transition has made our backyard so much more than we had previously. Thanks to Danny and his team from Modern Outdoor Living and Nick from Nick Brewin Design. We would not hesitate to use you again and recommend you to anybody else looking to transform an outdoor area in their home.

They were helpful every step of the way in gutting our old yard and creating our new oasis. Thanks MOL! Rachael Purcell2022-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be more happy with our new backyard! Dan and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were efficient, easy to communicate with, and had great attention to detail. The pricing and quotes for the work were straight-forward and clear - we had full confidence in the process at all times. Highly recommend! jim orchard2022-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to repair a pergola at the front of my house in Collingwood and was finding it difficult dealing with tradesmen who were hard to contact and also navigating the council permit system. Daniel came to my house, looked at the job, gave me a competitive quote and provided advice on what the council wanted. He was a a pleasure to work with and the final result result was great. Highly recommended

From charming garden paths that lead you through lush greenery to expansive patios ideal for entertaining, we ensure that every paved area is both attractive and functional.

Variety of paving materials and styles

Exploring different paving styles can be an exciting part of your landscaping journey. From intricate patterns to simple, clean lines, the design possibilities are endless. Our team can help you experiment with various layouts and color schemes to create a truly unique look for your garden paving.
Enhancing safety and accessibility
Professional paving can help create safe, slip-resistant surfaces that reduce the risk of accidents. This is particularly important in areas prone to wet or icy conditions. Our landscapers use materials and techniques that enhance traction and stability, ensuring that your pathways, patios, and driveways are safe for everyone to use.
Accessibility is another key benefit of professional paving. Thoughtfully designed pathways and ramps can make your garden more accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Whether you need to accommodate strollers, wheelchairs, or simply want to make it easier to navigate your outdoor space, we can create paving solutions that meet your needs
Environmentally friendly paving options
Choosing sustainable paving options also offers long-term benefits for your garden and the broader environment. Permeable paving solutions, for example, help manage stormwater more effectively, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion. Recycled materials can lower the carbon footprint of your project, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Frequently asked questions about paving
The duration of the paving process varies on the size and complexity of the project. Generally, smaller projects such as garden paths or small patios can be completed in a few days, while larger projects like driveways or extensive patio areas may take weeks. Factors such as weather conditions and site preparation requirements can also impact the timeline. Our team at MODERN OUTDOOR LIVING will provide a detailed schedule during the initial consultation.
The cost of professional paving varies based on several factors, including the size of the area, the materials chosen, the concrete footings, and the complexity of the design. Natural stone tends to be more expensive than concrete or brick, but it offers a unique aesthetic and durability. During our initial consultation, we provide a detailed quote that outlines all costs involved.
Maintaining paved areas involves regular cleaning and occasional maintenance. Blowing away debris, power washing to remove dirt and stains, and applying sealant (if applicable) can help keep your paving looking its best. For permeable pavers, it’s important to remove any buildup in the joints to maintain proper drainage. Our team can provide specific maintenance guidelines tailored to the materials used in your project. Generally, high-quality paving can last 20-30 years or more with proper care. Natural stone and brick tend to have longer lifespans compared to some concrete pavers.
Yes, professional paving can significantly improve drainage in your garden. Properly installed paving can direct water away from your home and prevent pooling in unwanted areas. Permeable paving options allow water to pass through the surface, reducing runoff and promoting natural groundwater recharge.
Tree roots can potentially affect paving if not properly managed. Over time, roots can grow beneath paved areas, causing the surface to lift or crack. To prevent this, our landscapers take precautions such as installing root barriers and choosing materials that can withstand root growth. During the design phase, we also consider the placement of trees and other vegetation to minimize potential issues.
Yes, incorporating lighting into your paving design can enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your outdoor space. We offer various lighting options, including LED lights embedded in pavers, pathway lights, and accent lighting. Properly placed lighting not only adds to the beauty of your garden but also improves safety and visibility during the evening hours. Our team can help you design a lighting plan that complements your paving and overall landscape design.
