About our patio service

Patios are most of the back-garden work I do. Indian sandstone if you want warm tones, porcelain if you want low maintenance and a crisp finish, or limestone where the rest of the house is grey.

I bring samples to lay on the lawn before you commit, and I cost the sub-base honestly: falls, drainage and a sensible step detail down to the lawn are included on the same written quote, not added halfway through the dig.

We Cover All Aspects of Patios

  • Indian sandstone and porcelain
  • Sample boards on site, no commitment
  • Steps, edging and drainage included

Patios: common questions

Browse the wider landscaping FAQs if you're after general planning & pricing questions.

Does a patio add value to a home?

A well-built patio can add value by making the garden more usable, attractive and easier to enjoy. Patios are especially useful for seating, dining and entertaining. The value comes from good layout, proper preparation, suitable materials and a finish that works with the rest of the garden.

What is the best time of year to install a patio?

Patios can be installed for much of the year, depending on weather and ground conditions. Spring and summer are popular, but planning earlier can help avoid delays during busy periods. For patio work, good preparation, drainage and suitable installation conditions are more important than the season alone.

What is the most expensive part of patio installation?

The most expensive part of patio installation is often the preparation work. This can include excavation, waste removal, sub-base installation, levelling, drainage and edging. These parts are not always the most visible, but they are important because they help the patio stay level, stable and durable over time.

What should I consider before installing a patio?

Before installing a patio, think about where the sun falls, how you want to use the space, access from the house, drainage, privacy, the size of furniture, material choice and how the patio connects to the rest of the garden. A good patio should feel practical, not just look good in isolation.
