The Foundations of a Perfect Patio
Solid & Level Foundations
The secret to a patio that lasts is the work done underneath. We excavate to the correct depth and construct a solid, compacted sub-base to guarantee a perfectly level finish that won't sink or shift over the years.
Precision Laying & Pointing
Our team's experience shows in the finish. Each slab is laid with precision to ensure consistent, clean lines. We use advanced, weather-resistant pointing compounds to secure the slabs and prevent unsightly weed growth.
Water Management
To protect your home's brickwork and foundations, we engineer a subtle but effective fall into every patio we build. This directs rainwater away from the property and into suitable drainage points, ensuring no standing water.
Patio FAQs
Do I need planning permission to build a new patio in my Buckinghamshire garden?
In most cases, no. Garden patios are generally considered ‘permitted development’ and do not require planning permission. The main exceptions would be if your property is a listed building or located in a designated conservation area. As part of our service, we can advise you on any local regulations in areas like Aylesbury or Amersham to ensure your project goes smoothly.
How much will a new garden patio cost?
The final cost of a new patio is based on a few key elements: the total area in square metres (m2), your choice of paving material (such as Porcelain or Indian Sandstone), and the amount of groundwork required to create a stable, long-lasting base. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after our free on-site consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
What is the best material for a patio? Should I choose Indian Sandstone or Porcelain?
This is a popular question, as both are excellent choices.
Porcelain Paving: Offers a sleek, contemporary look. It’s extremely hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, and non-porous, meaning it resists stains and algae growth, making it very low-maintenance.
Indian Sandstone: Provides a more traditional, rustic charm with natural colour variations and textures. It’s a very durable and cost-effective option that creates a classic, timeless feel.
We can show you samples of both during our design visit to help you choose the perfect material for your Buckinghamshire garden.
How long does a typical patio installation take?
While every project is different, a standard-sized patio installation usually takes between 4 and 8 days. This includes excavating the area, installing a solid sub-base, carefully laying the paving slabs, and finishing the joints for a professional look. We always work efficiently to minimise disruption.
How can I keep my new patio looking its best?
Maintenance is straightforward. For Porcelain patios, a simple wash with a pressure washer or hose is usually all that’s needed to keep it looking new. For natural stone like Indian Sandstone, we recommend an annual clean and can advise on applying a sealant to protect it from stains and weathering.
