From pre-dinner drinks after a show at Brixton Academy to weekend lunches near Windrush Square, a well-built patio makes outdoor time easier. Fine Landscaping designs and installs patios that look sharp, drain properly and stay stable year after year. We work across SW2 and SW9, including Brixton Hill and Stockwell. Expect clear advice on materials, layout and finishes from the first visit.
Brixton’s gardens vary widely, from long Victorian terraces with side returns to compact courtyards in newer developments. We regularly build patios that maximise usable space, improve access from kitchen doors, and create level areas for seating and barbecues. For Georgian-style homes and period properties, we can match traditional detailing with sympathetic stone choices. Where space is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down.
Our process starts with a measured survey, then a written quotation and a clear plan for excavation, sub-base and drainage. We use the right build-up for the chosen finish, with careful compaction and accurate falls to move water away from the house. Work is kept tidy and organised, with daily clear-ups and respectful neighbour management. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication, and a patio that performs in all seasons.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lambeth often have mixed ground and old made-up layers, so we excavate to a suitable depth and build a stable sub-base. Access can be narrow on terrace rows around Tulse Hill and Herne Hill, so we plan material handling and keep pathways protected. We also consider surface water management and permeable options where appropriate. Parking and delivery timing are organised to reduce disruption near busy roads and market streets.

Most patios in the Brixton area fall between £70 and £150 per square metre, depending on the material and build complexity. As a guide, typical projects come in around £2,800 to £7,500 for a well-prepared base, laying, jointing and tidy edges. Porcelain and premium natural stone can sit at the higher end, while straightforward sandstone layouts are often mid-range. Site access and drainage needs also affect cost.
A standard patio installation usually takes 3–5 days, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Time is spent on excavation, sub-base installation, compaction, setting levels and falls, then laying and jointing the paving. Larger patio extensions, complex steps, or additional drainage can add time. If we’re working through a narrow side passage typical of Victorian terraces, we may schedule extra labour to keep the programme on track.
In many cases, a patio at ground level is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working near boundaries and party walls. Lambeth also expects surface water to be managed responsibly, especially where runoff could reach the highway or neighbouring land. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, poor levels, or defective jointing due to installation. It’s designed to give you confidence that the patio has been built correctly from the ground up. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from misuse, extreme impact, or movement caused by third-party works. We’ll also explain material care and maintenance to protect your finish.
We install Natural Stone Patios and Porcelain Patios, including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone in a range of tones and formats. Design options include clean contemporary grids, mixed-size patterns, contrasting borders, and practical steps or raised edges for seating. We can also create patio extensions to link existing paving with new areas. During the survey, we’ll recommend finishes based on light levels, slip resistance, and how you use the space day to day.
