BELOW THE SURFACE
A lasting patio needs more than a paving choice. We assess the existing ground, plan the finished levels and prepare a suitable base. Falls and drainage need to direct water away from the house and prevent avoidable pooling.
The patio can also be planned alongside paths, steps, lawn, planting or fencing so it works as part of the whole garden.
The most useful patio is sized around its furniture and the route through the garden. Mark out a table and chairs, allow space to move behind them and consider where the doors open. A laying pattern, border or step can make the area feel deliberate without adding unnecessary paving.
Compare porcelain, natural stone, sandstone, limestone, block paving and paving flags for appearance and care as well as price. Sandstone and limestone are types of natural stone, so these categories overlap. Look at suitable outdoor samples beside your house and planting, then discuss grip, jointing and cleaning before choosing.
Mark the proposed paving footprint with chairs in place. In this layout, check the route around the furniture, the connection to the door and where runoff can go before deciding on slab sizes.
Kent coverage does not mean every site has the same access, ground or levels. The town pages help you find the relevant services; the specification should follow a survey of the individual property.
A patio quote should explain removal of the old surface, excavation, the proposed base, laying and jointing, edges, steps where needed and the route for surface water. Material alone is not a complete installation specification.
Send the location, approximate measurements and photographs of the existing area. Explain which features must stay and any restricted access. A written scope should identify included work, optional items and assumptions that need checking before the price is agreed.
Yes, the existing outline can be a starting point. The old surface still needs checking for movement, poor drainage and unsuitable levels. Reusing the footprint does not mean the old base should automatically be retained.
Measure your table and chairs with room to sit and walk behind them. Include door openings, the route to the rest of the garden and access for cleaning. Marking the outline on the ground helps reveal an awkward layout before work starts.
This depends on the selected laying and jointing products and conditions during installation. Confirm the handover instructions before walking on it, placing heavy furniture or washing the surface.
Consider an outdoor porcelain product for a consistent finish. Compare texture, format and the cuts needed around your chosen layout.
Choose stone when variation is part of the look you want. Compare several pieces and the care guidance for the specific stone.
Consider smaller units where patterns, borders or connections to paths matter. Confirm a construction suitable for the intended use.
