Paving Perth - Designed to look Better and Last Longer
Let’s be honest… paving can either make your backyard feel finished — or completely throw it off.
Too often, paving is treated as an afterthought. The result? Areas that don’t flow, don’t match the home, or don’t hold up over time.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we take a different approach.
​
We design and install paving as part of the entire outdoor space, ensuring it connects seamlessly with your home, pool, and entertaining areas — not just something that fills the ground.
Paving Solutions for Perth Homes
We provide complete paving services in Perth, tailored to suit your space, style, and how you actually use your backyard.
Swimming Pool Surround Paving
​
Installing a pool is a big investment — but it’s the surrounding areas that make it feel complete.
​
The right pool paving doesn’t just improve how it looks, it changes how the whole space feels and functions. It’s what turns a pool into a place you actually want to relax, entertain, and spend time in.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we specialise in pool paving in Perth, including surrounds and bullnosing, using premium materials like travertine, granite, and limestone. These aren’t just chosen for looks — they’re durable, low-maintenance, and built to handle Perth conditions.
​
And just as importantly, we get the groundwork right.
​
Because great paving isn’t just about what you see on the surface — it’s what’s underneath that ensures it stays level, solid, and looking great for years to come.
Outdoor Pavement of Entertainment Areas
Let’s be honest… most backyards have the space to entertain — they’re just not set up to actually do it.
​
An outdoor area should feel like a natural extension of your home. Somewhere you can relax, host friends, and spend time with family without it feeling disconnected or unfinished.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we design and build outdoor entertaining areas in Perth that are practical, comfortable, and built around how you actually live. Whether it’s a simple alfresco upgrade or a complete backyard transformation, every element is planned to flow seamlessly with the rest of your space.
​
From paving and decking to seating zones, lighting, and layout — it all comes together to create an area that doesn’t just look good, but gets used.
​
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having an outdoor space… it’s about having one you actually enjoy spending time in.
Wet Laid Paving Experts
Not all paving is built the same — and this is where most problems start.
​
If paving isn’t installed properly, it can shift, sink, or start to look uneven far sooner than it should. That’s why we use wet laying for projects where strength, durability, and a premium finish really matter.
​
Wet-laid paving involves setting each paver on a solid mortar base over a compacted foundation, creating a stable surface that won’t move over time. It’s the method we recommend for high-end outdoor spaces and high-traffic areas where you want it done once — and done properly.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we take it a step further by applying a bonding primer to the underside of each paver. This creates a stronger hold, improves longevity, and helps prevent issues like moisture movement beneath the surface.
​
The result? A cleaner finish, minimal maintenance, and paving that stays exactly how it should — solid, level, and built to last.
​
It may take a little more time and investment upfront, but for most of our clients, the long-term performance and finish make it the obvious choice.
Wet Lay vs Dry Lay Paving -
What's the Difference?
Dry Laying Method
Wet Laying Method
Most people don’t think about how paving is installed — until it starts moving, sinking, or looking uneven.
The method used underneath your paving plays a huge role in how long it lasts and how good it looks over time.
Dry Lay Method (Standard Method)
This is typically the most common approach paving contractors in Perth recommend, as it's easier, quicker and more cost effective. The pavers themselves are laid onto a compacted sand/ or cracker dust base with the outside edge of the pavement cemented in called haunching.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we do not recommend this method when laying a natural stone paver, but it is a common method when installing a Limestone, concrete or clay based pavement.
​
Pros:
-
More affordable upfront
-
Faster Installation
Cons:
-
Can shift or settle over time
-
Weeds can grow between joints (even after a paving lock sand system is used)
-
May require ongoing maintenance​​​
Wet Lay Method (Premium Method)
​This involves laying pavers into a mortar mix/solution which is on top of a compacted road base sub-base. Before installation, each and every paver is buttered with a priming agent mixed with cement to create a super strong bond between the paver and mortar mix. After installation, (natural stone product only) the entire paving area is then grouted with an external grout filling all joints and imperfections on the paver.
​​
This wet laying installation method of pavement is what MVP Landscapes specialise in around new and old swimming pools, entertainment areas and pathways.
​
Pros:
-
Strong, stable and long lasting
-
Zero movement or sinking
-
Zero weed growth and maintenance
-
Cleaner, more premium finish
​
Cons:
-
Higher upfront cost
-
Longer installation time
​​​​​​
Which Paving Method Is Right For You?
If you’re after a quick and budget-friendly solution, dry laying can work.
​
But if you want a long-term result that stays level, looks better, and requires less maintenance, wet laying is the clear choice — especially for pool areas, entertaining spaces, and high-traffic zones.
​
At MVP Landscapes, we’ll guide you through the best option based on your space, budget, and how you plan to use it — so you get it right the first time.
​

Why Most Paving Fails in Perth
Let’s be honest… paving doesn’t just fail for no reason — it fails because of what’s happening underneath.
​
In Perth, we’re dealing with sandy soils, shifting ground, and extreme heat. If the preparation isn’t done properly, it doesn’t matter how good the pavers look on day one — problems will show up sooner rather than later.
The Most Common Reasons Paving Fails
1. Poor Base Preparation
2. Incorrect Installation Method
3. Drainage Problems
4. Cheap or Incompatible Materials
5. Inexperienced Installer
​
Why Proper Paving Installation Matters
Paving isn’t just about what you see on the surface, and what transform a home's landscape.
​
The skill in an expert Perth pavement installation is what you actually don't see. It's how serious the preparation and base works prior to actually laying the paving is done.
​
Without this right preparation and base work, paving can shift, sink, or crack over time — leading too costly repairs.
​
MVP Landscapes ensure:
-
Proper ground excavation works
-
A solid sub-base installed
-
The correct drainage systems in place
-
Long-lasting installation methods
​
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about getting it done…
​
It’s about getting it done properly.
What Does Paving Cost in Perth?
Paving costs in Perth vary depending on size of the project, materials, and site conditions.
​
As a general rule:
-
Standard paving: $80 - $150 per/sqm
-
Premium materials (like Travertine): $200 - $330+ per/sqm
The best way to get an accurate figure is to have your space assessed properly.
