A patio needs the same care beneath it as a driveway, just for lighter loads. We lay slabs on a full bed of mortar rather than on dabs, which leave hollows where water collects and slabs crack, and we set the patio to a gentle fall away from the house so rain does not pool against your walls.
Natural stone such as sandstone and slate has a varied, softer look. Porcelain is harder wearing, resists stains and needs no sealing, but it has to be primed with a bonding slurry so that it grips the mortar bed.

Other services
-
Resin bound driveways
A smooth, seamless finish of natural stone mixed with resin and trowelled by hand. Water drains straight through it, so puddles do not form.
-
Block paving
Concrete or clay blocks laid in the pattern of your choice on a compacted base, with edging that holds them firmly in place under daily use.
-
Drainage and groundworks
Excavation, sub-bases and drainage done properly before anything is laid, so the surface stays level and the water goes where it should.
-
Commercial and estate surfacing
Car parks, access roads and private estate drives in resin or block paving, on a sub-base designed for heavier vehicles and more of them.
