Patio Installers in Norton: Porcelain, Stone and Block

We lay patios and pathways using porcelain, natural stone and block paving for homes in Norton, Worcester, Powick and Kempsey. Groundwork and drainage are part of the job, not an afterthought.

Planning a patio for a family garden

Start with how you will use the space. A table for six needs more room than most people expect, and a barbecue area wants clear space around it. Marking the outline on the ground first makes it easy to judge the size. Porcelain tiles are cut and laid with care, and natural stone varies slightly from slab to slab, which is part of its charm.

The patio should sit slightly below any damp-proof course on the house and fall gently away from the walls, so rain does not collect against the building.

• Porcelain for a crisp, modern look and easy cleaning
• Natural stone for texture and a traditional feel
• Block paving for plain, durable areas
• Enough space for furniture and for people to move around
• Falls away from the house so rain drains off

Paths, steps and matching older properties

Village plots are often larger than town gardens, with space for a proper patio, lawn and boundary. A path from the patio to a side gate or a shed keeps feet out of the mud. Paths should be wide enough for a person with a bag or a pushchair to pass comfortably.

Where a village property has character, we aim to match materials and patterns so new work looks as if it belongs. Older brick and stone usually sit better with warmer, softer tones.
