A patio gets used more than any other part of the garden, so it has to be built properly. We dig out, lay a compacted base and set the slabs to a slight fall so rain runs away from the house. Done right, it stays flat and doesn’t rock or pond.
In Chester gardens, natural sandstone is a favourite for its warm colours, and porcelain is popular for a clean, modern look that’s easy to keep clean. We also lay block paved, resin and imprinted concrete patios, and can add steps, walls and lawn edging in the same job.

Good to know
Small gardens and level changes
Plenty of Chester gardens are compact or step up from the house. We can build a patio with a step or a low retaining wall to make the most of the space, and use the same paving for paths so it all ties together. Back gardens don’t normally need planning permission for a patio unless you’re raising the ground level significantly or the house is listed.

FAQs
Questions people ask
How long does a patio take to lay?
Most patios are done within a few days. Larger patios, or jobs with steps and walls, take a little longer.
Porcelain or sandstone?
Porcelain is very hard-wearing and easy to clean, with a modern look. Sandstone is natural and warmer, but needs a bit more care. We can bring samples of both.
Do I need planning permission for a patio?
Not usually for a back garden patio at ground level. Raised patios, listed buildings and conservation areas can need permission.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Our patios come with a 5-year guarantee.
