Elephant & Castle’s regeneration has created a mix of compact courtyards and larger rear gardens, and a well-built patio makes the most of both. We design and install natural stone and porcelain patios that complement properties around Elephant Park and near Strata Tower. Whether you want a calm seating area for evenings or a practical dining space, we tailor levels, drainage and finishes to your layout. We also handle patio extensions to connect doors, lawns and planting neatly.
Homeowners in Kennington, Walworth and Borough often need solutions that work with limited access, shared pathways and varying ground levels. We regularly build patios for Victorian terraces with narrow gardens, as well as new-build apartments with podium terraces and balconies at ground level. Our material choices suit the local mix: porcelain for crisp, low-maintenance spaces; Indian sandstone for warm, characterful paving; slate and limestone for a contemporary look. Every design is scaled to how you actually use the space—sun, shade, storage and seating included.
Our process starts with a design consultation, followed by clear specifications for sub-base, edging, falls and jointing. We excavate properly, install a stable foundation, and finish with precise cuts and clean detailing around walls, steps and drains. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful neighbours-aware working, and a site left clean each day. Fine Landscaping is trusted by local clients because we build patios to last, not just to look good on day one.
As patios contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for urban constraints such as permit parking, delivery slots and restricted access to rear gardens. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and heavier clay, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. In SE1 and SE17 we also pay close attention to drainage and falls, especially for courtyards beside extensions and basement lightwells. We can coordinate waste removal and materials handling to keep communal areas protected and compliant.

Costs vary by access, excavation depth and the paving you choose. As a guide, installed patios in the Elephant & Castle area often start around £120–£180 per m² for quality concrete or basic stone, £160–£250 per m² for Indian sandstone, and £200–£320+ per m² for premium porcelain or limestone with detailed edging. Steps, drainage channels, lighting and seating walls are priced separately after a site visit.
Most patio projects take 3–7 working days once we start on site. A small courtyard can be completed in 2–4 days, while larger patios with extensions, steps or built-in seating areas may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, how much excavation is needed, weather, and curing time for bedding and jointing. We provide a clear programme so you know what happens each day.
In many cases, a patio in a back garden is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, working near a boundary wall, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely concerns during the consultation and can advise on SuDS-friendly drainage options. If approvals are required, we help you prepare the details.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our patio installations, covering issues such as lifting, sinking or movement caused by incorrect base preparation or installation. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that drainage isn’t later altered by other works. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable (for example, many porcelain ranges). We’ll explain care and maintenance so your patio keeps its finish for years.
We install natural stone patios and porcelain patios in a wide range of colours and sizes. Popular choices include Indian sandstone for warm tones, slate for a darker contemporary look, and limestone for a clean, modern finish. Design options include mixed-size laying patterns, contrasting borders, recessed drainage, and integrated seating areas or raised planters. During the design consultation, we’ll bring samples and help you choose a style that suits your property and how you use the space.
