Patios & Paving explained
What Patios & Paving Involves and Who It's For
What it is
A patio is the hard surface where you sit, eat and entertain outside. We install patios and paving in natural stone, porcelain and Indian stone as part of our hard landscaping services.
Who it's for
It's for homeowners who want a usable outdoor space that looks good all year, whether replacing an old, uneven patio or adding one for the first time.
When it's needed
Typical reasons include cracked or sunken slabs, a patio too small for a table, paving in the wrong spot that never gets sun, or a new garden that needs a hard-wearing heart.
Why professional help matters
A patio lasts only as long as what's beneath it. Excavation, a compacted sub-base, correct falls for drainage and properly bedded and jointed slabs are what separate a patio that lasts from one that moves after a winter.
General garden guidance
Considerations for Your Garden Project
Failing patios get worse. Water gets under loose slabs, frost lifts them further, weeds take hold in open joints, and a minor fix becomes a full relay.
Risks and escalating costs
- Trip hazards from rocking or sunken slabs
- Water pooling against the house without correct falls
- Weeds and moss in failing joints
- A patio sized or positioned so it is rarely used
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Laying on an inadequate base to save time
- Choosing a stone that doesn't suit the use or the house
- Ignoring drainage and falls
- Positioning the patio by habit rather than by sunlight
