Dive into summer

Paving is often one of the key features of outdoor living areas, so it makes sense to choose the right products and to ensure they are installed correctly.

Jagas Paving and Townscapes Landscaping specialises in making sure your project comes together as you envisaged. Whether you prefer a contemporary pool setting or a courtyard with a Mediterranean influence, these two companies provide the materials and service.

The weathering properties, natural colour variation and appearance of Jagas pavers is similar to that of sandstone and terracotta tiles. As with natural stone, there is a large range of colours, textures and sizes. Jagas can also custom manufacture pavers to meet particular design requirements. The pool landscaping shown on these pages features Platinum pavers.

Craig Bruce of Jagas Paving says Jagas pavers are manufactured from quality materials, so they're made to last. However, he stresses that even with the best materials available, your paving is only as good as the installation.

"Correct installation is essential," says Bruce. "This is why we recommend the Townscapes installation service."

Townscapes Landscaping provides a full supply-and-installation service for Jagas pavers. The company also undertakes all landscaping construction and can help with the landscape design process.

The firm's co-director, Steve Williams, says the owners of this home chose Platinum Jagas pavers for their pool renovation, as they wanted the paving to match the style and colour of the house.

"They also wanted a hard-wearing, non-slip surface that would be easy to maintain. As the Jagas pavers can be acid-etched, they are particularly suitable for pool surrounds," he says.
