S T Construction offers specialised labour for slabbing, curbing, and block laying as part of its construction services.

These tasks are essential components of hard landscaping, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing surfaces in various residential, commercial, and public spaces. With a skilled team experienced in each of these services, S T Construction ensures that each project meets high standards of durability, safety, and design.

Slabbing Services

Slabbing is a common technique for constructing paved areas such as patios, walkways, and driveways.

The process involves laying large, flat stones or concrete slabs on a prepared base, creating a solid and visually appealing surface. Our slabbing services cover site preparation, material selection, base installation, and precise slab placement. Proper site preparation is essential to ensure a stable and even base, preventing slabs from sinking, cracking, or shifting over time.

Our skilled team is proficient in using various materials, including natural stone, concrete, and porcelain slabs, to create customised surfaces that align with clients’ needs and preferences. Their expertise ensures that each slab is levelled accurately, with consistent spacing and alignment, for a smooth, uniform appearance. By following best practices and using quality materials, we deliver surfaces that are durable, attractive, and well-suited to heavy foot traffic and weather exposure.

Curbing Services

Kerbing is an essential service for defining and supporting edges in landscaped areas, roads, and pathways.

Kerbs provide physical boundaries that help control water runoff, protect lawns, and create clear distinctions between different sections of a landscape. Our kerbing labour includes excavation, kerbstone installation, and finishing. We use a variety of kerbstones, from traditional concrete to decorative stone, depending on the aesthetic and functional requirements of each project.

The kerbing process requires precise measurements and secure installation to ensure long-lasting results. Skilled labour is critical, as poorly installed kerbs can shift, crack, or deteriorate over time, compromising both the quality and safety of the paved area. Our team follows strict alignment and levelling protocols to ensure that kerbs are securely set into the ground, able to withstand vehicle impact and environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles. Through quality kerbing installations, we help enhance both the functionality and appearance of landscapes and paved surfaces.

Block Laying Services

Block laying is a versatile service, commonly used for creating driveways, garden walls, and retaining walls.

Block paving is particularly popular for driveways due to its durability and the wide range of design options it offers. Our team is skilled in pattern selection, alignment, and installation, ensuring that each block is set accurately and securely for a polished, professional finish.

The block laying process requires a stable foundation, typically achieved through compacted sand or gravel layers. We take care to level and compact these layers, reducing the chances of shifting or sinking. Blocks are laid in precise patterns, with careful attention to spacing and alignment, ensuring both visual appeal and structural integrity. Whether for a wall or a driveway, our block laying services provide clients with durable surfaces that can handle substantial loads while enhancing the aesthetic value of the property.

Quality and Safety in Labour

Quality and safety are top priorities in all our slabbing, curbing, and block laying projects.

Each member of the labour team is trained to follow industry best practices, using high-quality materials and ensuring proper technique at every stage of the installation. The team is certified through the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS), ensuring that workers are well-versed in health and safety standards—critical for both the success of the project and the safety of the workforce.
