Our Patio and Hardscaping Construction Process
The best outdoor spaces are planned around how you'll use them, then built from the ground up in the right order. Here's how we run a patio or hardscaping project.
Design conversation — we talk through how you want to use the space, where the sun and shelter are, and how it connects to the house.
Levels and drainage planning — we set the finished level and falls so water runs away from the house and off the patio surface.
Excavation — the area is dug out to depth, with soft or unsuitable material removed rather than built over.
Base preparation — hardfill is placed and compacted in layers to give the surface something that will not settle unevenly.
Surface installation — concrete, pavers or a mix of materials go down to the layout and pattern agreed at design stage.
Edges, steps and finishing — edging, steps, transitions and any garden or wall features are completed and the site tidied up.
