Groundwork and drainage
Digging out, laying a proper sub-base and setting falls so water runs away, not into the house.
Patios and Paving in Oxfordshire
If your patio has sunk, cracked or never really worked, we can rebuild it so it drains properly, feels safe underfoot and gives you somewhere comfortable to sit outside.
We lay patios, paths and terraces of all styles and sizes
Is your patio uneven, tired or holding water after every shower? Most of the trouble comes from what is underneath: slabs laid on a thin bed of sand, no proper sub-base and no fall to carry water away.
We dig out to the depth the ground needs, lay and compact a proper sub-base and set the falls so water runs away from the house. Every slab is bedded on full mortar, joints are pointed neatly and edges are haunched so they hold their line.
We work in sawn sandstone, Yorkstone, porcelain and reclaimed brick, and we will help you choose what suits your house and your budget.
What goes into your new patio
From the groundwork and drainage underneath to the stone, joints and edges on top, these are the parts that decide whether a patio still drains properly and feels safe underfoot in ten years.
Stone and materials
Sawn sandstone, Yorkstone, porcelain or reclaimed brick, chosen to suit your house and budget.
Laying and pointing
Full mortar beds, even joints and clean, straight edges that hold their line over the years.
Steps and edges
Steps, kerbs and level thresholds that make the terrace feel part of the garden, not bolted on.
