Patios & Pathways by TDL Driveways & Landscaping
We do the groundwork as well as the laying: excavation, a proper sub-base, falls for drainage, jointing and edging. That preparation is what keeps a patio level, safe and looking good for years.
- Correct falls so water drains away from the house
- Compacted sub-base and a solid bedding layer
- Accurate cutting and tidy, consistent joints
- Edging and steps that are safe and well finished
- Waste removal and a clean finish

Porcelain or natural stone for a patio?
Porcelain is uniform, hard-wearing and easy to clean, which suits a modern garden. Natural stone has more variation and a traditional feel. Both can look excellent, so it comes down to taste, budget and how much upkeep you want to do.
Will my patio need drainage?
Every patio needs a plan for rainwater. We lay paving with a slight fall away from the building and below the damp-proof course, and add channels or soakaways where the ground or layout needs it.
Can you repair or relay my existing patio?
Yes. Sunken, loose or stained patios can often be lifted, re-bedded and re-pointed, then cleaned and sealed. We will tell you honestly whether relaying or replacing makes more sense.
Can you build garden paths and steps as well?
Yes. We build paths in natural stone, block paving, stepping stones and gravel, and install steps where the ground changes level.
