Working with Epsom's mix of clay and chalk requires specific expertise. The town's generous plot sizes, particularly near the racecourse and conservation areas, allow for ambitious projects. Stone patios blend beautifully with period properties, while contemporary porcelain suits the newer developments sprouting up around the hospital quarter. Each material choice reflects both practical drainage needs and aesthetic preferences.
Proper groundwork prevents the settling issues common in this part of Surrey. Excavation depth depends on your soil type - deeper for the clay pockets near Ewell, shallower where chalk dominates towards Ashtead. Permeable surfaces help manage water runoff, essential given recent flooding concerns along the Hogsmill. Modern installation techniques ensure longevity despite our freeze-thaw cycles.
Twenty years handling Epsom's terrain gives invaluable insight. From listed buildings requiring sympathetic approaches to new-builds needing contemporary solutions, understanding local planning nuances matters. The team knows which materials weather best in our specific microclimate.

Basic patio installations start around £3,500 for smaller Victorian terraces. Comprehensive driveway and garden redesigns for larger KT18 properties typically range £15,000-£35,000, depending on materials and complexity.
Projects span all Epsom postcodes - KT17 covers the town centre and West Ewell, KT18 includes the Downs and hospital area, while KT19 extends through Stoneleigh and West Ewell. Regular work also takes us into neighbouring Ashtead and Banstead.
Straightforward patio installations complete within 5-7 working days. Full driveway reconstructions or terraced garden builds typically require 3-4 weeks, weather permitting.
Every installation carries comprehensive ten-year coverage against structural failure. This includes movement, drainage problems, and material defects - crucial protection given Epsom's variable ground conditions.
Terracing transforms steep gardens into usable spaces. Using gabion walls or natural stone, we create distinct levels perfect for entertaining areas, vegetable patches, or children's play zones. Proper engineering ensures stability on even the steepest racecourse-facing plots.
