Patios
Make room for outdoor dining, quiet mornings and time with friends, with a patio laid out for your garden.
Your project, properly planned
What we’ll discuss with you.
Layout & use
Plan the size around furniture and how you move through the garden.
Materials & details
Compare paving colours, textures and edge details.
Preparation & finish
Discuss levels, drainage, steps and connections to the house.
From site visit to quotation.
Tell us your postcode and the improvement you have in mind. We’ll look at the site, talk through the options and agree the scope before preparing your free quotation.
The quote should make the materials, preparation, disposal, access arrangements and proposed schedule clear. Ask us about anything you want included.
See our completed workA finish that fits your home
Start with furniture and movement.
Plan the dining or seating area around the furniture you want to use, with room to move between the house, garden and any steps. Bring measurements or a sketch to the site visit.
Details around the house
Discuss paving materials, supporting construction, jointing, levels at doors and how water will leave the patio. Confirm whether steps, paths or changes to surrounding beds are included.
Planning the work and the handover.
Before work starts
Agree the full scope, materials, access and waste removal in writing. Tell us about any access or parking you need to keep available.
Your project schedule
Ask for the expected working period after the site assessment. Size, preparation, weather, materials and any approvals can affect the programme.
Ready to use
Confirm when the finished area can be used and what needs attention after completion. Keep your quotation and any product care information together.
Look after your chosen paving
Ask for aftercare guidance for the exact slabs and jointing system. Natural stone, concrete and porcelain can need different cleaning approaches, so use the manufacturer’s advice for your installed products.
Your questions answered.
Can the patio connect to an existing path?
Yes, tell us which areas you want to bring together. We’ll look at the layout and levels during the visit.
Can you help choose the paving?
We can discuss the look, budget and everyday use you have in mind and compare suitable options.
Will I need steps?
That depends on the difference in levels. We’ll discuss access between the house, patio and garden as part of the design.
