What affects scope

  • The area in square metres
  • Porcelain, sandstone, sawn stone, block or setts
  • How much digging out and levelling is needed
  • Steps, edging and drainage channels

What to send first

  • Where rainwater runs now and any drains nearby
  • Whether it is a patio, path, steps or a driveway

Good fit when

  • You want a new patio, path or driveway laid properly
  • An old patio has sunk, cracked or holds water
  • An old deck needs replacing with paving

If the patio is part of a bigger change to the garden, Landscaping and Garden Design cover the rest of the layout.

Wilsonjones Landscapes lays patios, paths, steps and driveways in porcelain, natural sandstone, sawn stone, block paving and setts. A patio only lasts if the work underneath is right, so each one starts with digging out to the right depth, a compacted sub-base and a gentle fall away from the house so rainwater runs off and has somewhere to go. The slabs are then laid and pointed, with coping, edging and steps finished to match.

The detailing makes a big difference: a band of setts or cobbles between sawn stone planks, a border around the edge, or steps that line up with the back door. Steve also re-points tired paving and replaces old decks with a new patio. Driveways and parking areas can be block paved or gravelled, with edging to keep the stones in place.

Values

Design and build in one team

The layout, the groundworks, the hard landscaping and the planting are handled by the same people, so the finished garden matches the plan rather than a subcontractor's interpretation of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which paving is best?
Porcelain is hard-wearing and easy to clean, while natural sandstone has more character and weathers in over time. Steve will talk through how each would suit your house and garden.
Why does a patio need a fall?
So rainwater runs away from the house instead of pooling on the slabs or sitting against the walls. The slope is slight and you will not notice it underfoot.
Do you lay driveways?
Yes. Driveways are laid in block paving or gravel, on a base built to take the weight of a car and with proper edging.
