Your garden, considered
The base is what you are paying for
A patio's appearance comes from the stone, but its life comes from the base. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact a sub-base, and set the slabs on a full mortar bed with a fall away from the house.
We help you choose between porcelain, which is hard-wearing and easy to clean, and natural stone such as Indian sandstone or limestone, which has warmth and variation.
On larger or sloping Coulsdon plots, patios are often built as terraces with steps and retaining walls.

Materials & possibilities
Choosing your paving
Each material has strengths. We will show you samples.
Falls and drainage
A patio must shed water away from the house, typically with a gentle fall to a lawn, border or drainage channel. Getting this right is why our patios do not puddle or stain.

Most patios take three to seven days, depending on size and groundwork.
