Paving that works with the whole garden
Falls lead water away
We set levels with doors, paths and drainage points in mind.
Edges hold the layout
Defined borders support the paved area and sharpen its finished shape.
At least two on site
Patio and paving jobs are carried out with no fewer than two crew members.
Create useful outdoor space on firm preparation
A patio should provide a level, usable place to sit and move around without sending rainwater towards the house. We lay paving for patios, paths and defined hard-landscaped areas, with at least two team members attending these jobs. Installation starts with excavation and a prepared sub-base, followed by setting levels, falls and edging. The layout is guided by the available space, intended use and connections to doors or existing paths. Once the groundwork is right, paving can be laid and jointed with cleaner transitions at the surrounding garden and property.
Set the layout around doors and drainage
The property and garden shape the paving plan. Door thresholds affect finished levels, while downpipes, drains and existing paths influence falls and connections. We discuss how you expect to use the area and where furniture or regular foot traffic will sit. Photographs and approximate measurements help us assess access and compare layout options before a visit. Completed project images can also help you judge laying patterns, border details and transitions. Many suitable patio projects take one to three working days, though size and preparation determine the actual programme.
Frequently asked questions
How do you choose the finished patio level?
We consider door thresholds, damp protection, existing paths, drains and the direction of water flow. The level also depends on excavation depth and the build-up needed beneath the paving, so it must be set before laying starts.
Can you connect a patio to existing paths?
Yes. We can plan transitions into existing paths or other hard surfaces where levels and condition allow. We assess the meeting point carefully because an abrupt step or trapped low area can make the finished space awkward to use.
What should we send with a paving enquiry?
Send photographs, approximate dimensions, access details and a note about the intended use. Show nearby doors, drains, paths and boundaries if possible. These details help us understand the preparation and likely layout.
