Project Details:

Project: Bluestone paving and staircase
Location: Rosanna, Victoria
Size: 20m²
Area: Backyard

A concrete base has been down for some time and it was time to lay the paving. The owner wanted a pattern similar to the paving at the front and was blown away with the quality of the workmanship of the finished product. The photos speak for themselves

With an existing concrete base already down the owner needed to lay bluestone to match the swimming pool area. Bullnose pieces were used as step treads and the attention to detail made during the paving process results in a perfect laid staircase reflecting the quality of work that Paragon landscapes is best known for.
