Patios
Planning the Space
Think about what will go on the patio before choosing the stone. A dining table and chairs need more room than most people expect, and the spot that catches the evening sun may not be next to the back door. We mark out the area with you on site so you can see the size before anything is dug.
On a sloping garden a patio may need a retaining wall or steps to create a level area, and we build those as part of the same job.
Our WorkAbout Us
Our Experience with New Patios
We are a family run groundworks business based in Staplehurst, and we bring over 20 years of experience to every new patios job across Kent, East and West Sussex and south-east London.
The same small, friendly team surveys the job, prepares the ground and finishes the surface, so you deal with the people doing the work from the first visit to the final sweep.
We have worked on behalf of Kent County Council and utility companies, our team is registered with the Street Works Qualifications Register, and we are approved under the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence scheme.

New Patios
Choosing the Material
Sandstone, granite, limestone, slate, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving all make good patios. Natural stone gives variation and character, porcelain is dense and easy to wipe clean, and block paving can tie in with your driveway. We will explain how much upkeep each one needs before you choose.
Our WorkNew Patios
Built to Stay Level
Every new patio sits on a compacted sub-base with a fall away from the house so rain runs off. Slabs are bedded on mortar and pointed, and a channel drain can go in along the house wall where the levels are tight.
Bigger garden rebuilds that combine a patio with paths, walls and steps can be run as one project, with one team and one quote.
