FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our patio installation and paving services in Canterbury

Which is better for a patio Indian Sandstone or Porcelain?

+

It really depends on the look you want. Indian Sandstone is a natural stone, so every slab is unique with beautiful earthy tones. It feels very traditional and fits well with older Kentish homes. Porcelain is man-made and very modern. It is almost completely non-porous, which means it doesn't stain easily and moss won't grow on it as much. Porcelain is very low maintenance, while Sandstone might need a bit more cleaning to keep it looking its best.

How long does it take to install a new patio?

+

A typical garden patio usually takes between five to ten working days, depending on the size and how much ground preparation is needed. If we need to remove a lot of old concrete or soil, it might take a little longer. We always give you a clear timeline before we start so you know when you can start using your new outdoor space.

Do I need planning permission for a new patio in Canterbury?

+

In most cases, no. Patios are usually considered "permitted development." However, if you live in a listed building or a specific conservation area in the city centre, there might be some restrictions on the materials you use. We can help you check this before any work begins to make sure everything is above board.

Can you build a patio on a sloping garden?

+

Yes, we certainly can. Many gardens in Kent aren't perfectly flat. We can create tiered patios with steps or build retaining walls to level out the ground. This often makes a sloping garden much more usable and creates different "zones" for dining and relaxing.

How do I stop weeds from growing through my new paving?

+

The secret is all in the preparation. We use a high-quality weed membrane under the sub-base and use professional-grade jointing compounds. Unlike old-fashioned sand and cement, these modern grouts set hard and stay flexible, making it very difficult for weeds to take root between your slabs.
