The UK Paving Talk Group

Founded in 2016, the UK Paving Talk Group began as a professional Facebook community created by Iain Jordan, its original purpose was simple: to give paving, landscaping, and construction professionals a dedicated space to share knowledge, discuss real-world challenges, and support one another across the trade.

The group grew rapidly, attracting contractors from across the UK and Ireland. As membership expanded, Mick Gammage joined the admin team, helping shape the group into a well-managed, professional environment. Today, with over 25,000 members, the Facebook group remains an active and trusted hub for trade discussion, advice, and shared experience.

While the Facebook group continues to thrive, its success highlighted the need for something more permanent, structured, and accessible beyond social media.

The Website

The UK Paving Talk Group website represents the next stage of that journey. It has been created to turn years of shared trade knowledge into a long-term, searchable resource that benefits professionals, DIYers, homeowners, and anyone planning paving or landscaping work.

The website is focused on clarity, education, and practical guidance. It brings together detailed how-to guides, technical explanations, planning advice, product information, and real-world insights drawn directly from industry experience. The aim is to help users make informed decisions, understand best practice, and approach projects with confidence.

Rather than replacing the Facebook group, the website works alongside it. The site provides structured knowledge and reference material, while the Facebook community remains the place for discussion, feedback, and real-time advice.

The Direction We Are Heading

The ongoing direction of the UK Paving Talk Group is to build the UK’s most comprehensive online knowledge base for paving and landscaping. The website will continue to expand with in-depth guides, planning support, and educational content that reflects how projects are actually delivered on the ground.

By connecting professionals, homeowners, and DIYers through both the website and the Facebook group, the UK Paving Talk Group is creating a single ecosystem where expertise is shared openly, standards are raised, and better projects are delivered through better information.
