SW15's diverse housing stock presents unique opportunities for outdoor design. Period properties near Putney Bridge often feature narrow side returns crying out for clever patio solutions. Meanwhile, the generous plots towards Roehampton allow for more ambitious entertaining areas. Local soil conditions, particularly the London clay common around Putney Hill, require specific groundwork approaches to ensure longevity.
Creating a patio involves more than laying stones on level ground. Proper drainage channels prevent pooling during those notorious British downpours. Sub-base compaction eliminates future settling issues. Material selection impacts both aesthetics and maintenance – porcelain resists moss growth better than natural stone in shaded Barnes-facing gardens. Edge restraints lock everything in place, crucial given the area's mature tree roots.
Twenty years of working across Putney means understanding which materials weather best near the Thames. Local planning considerations around conservation areas get navigated smoothly. Every project receives the attention your home deserves.

Budget £3,500-£8,000 for standard installations, though larger entertainment spaces or premium materials like imported sandstone can reach £15,000+. Compact courtyards typical of Putney terraces often fall around £4,500.
Absolutely – from riverside properties near Putney Embankment to hilltop homes overlooking Richmond Park. Regular work extends through Putney Heath, West Putney, and neighbouring areas including Barnes and Roehampton.
Most patios take 5-8 working days, weather permitting. Extensive groundwork or intricate patterns might stretch to two weeks. Smaller courtyard transformations sometimes wrap up within four days.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against structural failures. This includes settling, drainage problems, and material defects – essentially everything except surface wear from normal use.
Certainly – built-in seating, fire bowls, and subtle lighting enhance many Putney patios. Water features work particularly well in sheltered spots away from overhanging trees. Gas lines for outdoor cooking areas require certified installation but create fantastic entertainment zones.
