Patio and Path Installers in Powick: Stone and Porcelain

We lay patios and pathways in porcelain, natural stone and block paving. A good design considers sunlight, the route from the back door and how the paving meets the lawn, as well as the material itself. A patio placed where it catches the afternoon sun gets used far more than one tucked into a shady corner.

Materials for older and newer village homes

Where a property has character, matching the paving to the age and style of the house helps new work look as if it was always there. Natural stone in softer tones sits well beside older brick, while porcelain suits a cleaner, more contemporary extension or conservatory.

Block paving is practical for paths, side access and wide seating areas, and it comes in colours that blend with most house frontages. Paths in particular reward a little thought, since a gentle curve through the garden looks relaxed while a straight line to a greenhouse or shed is quick and practical.

• Large-format porcelain with a sleek, low-upkeep finish
• Natural stone with a riven or smooth texture
• Block paved terraces and side paths
• Winding or straight garden paths to a shed, greenhouse or lawn
• Steps where the garden steps up or down from the house

Getting the build right

A bigger patio needs a well-compacted base and careful levels, since any movement is visible across a large surface. We excavate, lay and compact the sub-base in layers, then bed the paving and finish the joints to suit the material. Edges are restrained so the paving does not drift outwards over the years, and levels are set to keep rainwater moving away from the house.
