From family gardens near Clapham Common to compact courtyards around Clapham Old Town, a well-built patio changes how you use your outdoor space. Fine Landscaping installs premium patios that suit entertaining, dining, and low-maintenance living. We design levels, steps and edging so the finish feels intentional rather than “added on”. If you’re in SW4 or SW11, we can survey quickly and advise on the best layout.
Clapham’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often come with narrow side access, mixed ground and older garden walls that need careful protection. Modern apartments and new-build blocks around Clapham Junction station can require tidy logistics, timed deliveries and considerate working hours. We tailor the build-up to the site—sub-base depth, falls and drainage—so the patio stays stable and avoids puddling. The result is a clean, premium finish that complements period brickwork or contemporary glazing.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written scope, then prepare a robust sub-base and consistent bedding layer before laying your chosen paving. Every patio is set to correct falls, with drainage solutions where needed, and joints finished for durability and appearance. We keep the site organised, protect paths and planting, and remove waste as we go. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent pricing, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

In patios in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, we also consider surface water management and practical drainage routes to protect neighbouring boundaries.

For patios in Clapham, most projects fall between £70 and £150 per square metre, depending on the paving type and build complexity. A typical total budget is around £2,800 to £7,500 for an average garden patio. Costs vary with excavation depth, access (skip and deliveries), drainage requirements, steps or retaining edges, and whether you’re extending an existing patio.
Most patio installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Larger areas, patio extensions that need careful tying-in, or designs with multiple levels and steps can take longer. Time is also affected by how much excavation is required, whether we’re improving drainage, and the curing time for bedding and jointing products. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work significantly affects drainage or boundary structures. In the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, it’s also important to manage surface water responsibly. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our patio installations. This covers issues related to the build, such as sub-base failure, significant settlement caused by installation, and problems with laying integrity when used normally. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by external factors such as major tree root disruption or third-party works. We also pass on relevant manufacturer warranties for materials where applicable.
Popular choices include porcelain patios for low maintenance, Indian sandstone for natural variation, and slate or limestone for a refined, contemporary look. We also build natural stone patios and seamless patio extensions to match existing paving. Design options include contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, steps, and recessed drainage channels for cleaner lines. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and colour tones, and recommend what suits your property and lifestyle.
