That tired patch of lawn behind your Bexley home deserves better. Picture instead a beautiful stone patio where summer barbecues become legendary and morning coffees taste somehow better.

Victorian terraces in Old Bexley often hide surprisingly generous gardens, yet so many remain underused. A professionally laid patio changes everything. From compact courtyard designs that maximise every inch to sweeping entertainment areas for those lucky enough to have the space, the right hard landscaping transforms how you live outdoors. Local clay soil and mature tree roots present unique challenges here, but nothing that careful planning can't overcome.
Ground preparation makes or breaks any patio project. Excavation depth depends on your chosen materials - typically 200mm for standard paving, deeper for permeable solutions that handle Bexley's occasional flash flooding. Proper drainage channels prevent pooling near those period property foundations. Indian sandstone remains popular locally, though porcelain's zero-maintenance appeal suits busy professionals commuting into London. Each material demands specific laying techniques to ensure decade-long performance.
Twenty years of transforming gardens between Sidcup and Crayford means knowing exactly which suppliers deliver quality materials on time. More importantly, it means understanding how Bexley's weather patterns affect installation timing and material choices.

Budget £3,500-£8,000 for a standard 30m² patio using quality materials. Larger entertainment spaces or premium porcelain can reach £12,000-£15,000, whilst compact courtyards might start around £2,500.
Absolutely - from properties near Danson Park right through to homes backing onto Joyden's Wood. Regular projects across DA5 plus neighbouring Bexleyheath and Crayford mean we're never far away.
Most residential patios take 5-8 working days from breaking ground to final seal. Larger designs or those requiring significant levelling might stretch to two weeks, weather permitting.
Every installation carries comprehensive ten-year coverage against settlement, joint failure or drainage issues. Materials themselves often include manufacturer warranties - porcelain typically 20 years, natural stone varies by type.
Definitely. Sunken seating areas work brilliantly in sloped Bexley gardens, whilst gas fire pits create year-round focal points. Planning permission rarely needed, though we'll advise if your ideas require council input.
