Why Choose Our Patio Installation Services in Canterbury?

Which paving slab is right for your garden?

We supply and lay a wide variety of paving options tailored to your taste and budget.Indian Sandstone: A highly popular, natural stone that offers rich, varied colours and a classic finish perfectly suited to traditional properties.Porcelain Slabs: For a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, porcelain is incredibly durable, slip-resistant, and requires very little maintenance to stay looking pristine.Classic Block Paving: Highly versatile and hard-wearing, ideal for matching existing driveways or creating intricate courtyard patterns.During our initial visit, we can bring samples and help you select the ideal finish for your outdoor space.

Quality patio installation starting from the ground up

A beautiful patio is only as good as the foundations beneath it. We often see older patios suffering from sinking slabs, poor drainage, and crumbling mortar. Our installation process is designed to prevent these issues entirely.We start with thorough excavation and ground preparation, laying a solid, compacted sub-base tailored to your soil type. We also carefully plan the falls and gradients to ensure rainwater drains away safely, preventing puddles and standing water. Finally, every slab is laid on a full bed of mortar and professionally pointed for a secure, weed-free finish.

Complete garden landscaping and custom brickwork features

A new patio is often just one part of a wider garden transformation. Our experienced team provides a full range of hard landscaping services to complete your outdoor space.If your garden sits on a slope, we can construct sturdy, attractive retaining walls or tiered garden steps. We also build custom raised planters using brickwork or timber sleepers, install fresh turf, and put up secure fencing. By handling all these elements in-house, we ensure your entire garden flows perfectly without the need to hire multiple contractors.

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.
