What we mean by patios
The bit beneath the surface.
A patio is the most-used room in most British gardens - and the one most likely to look tired by the third winter. The work that decides how it ages is mostly invisible: the sub-base, the falls, the bedding mortar, the pointing mix.
Full mortar beds, every time
Slabs bedded fully on a wet mortar mix - no dot-and-dab, no rocking, no failed joints two winters in. The slowest part of the job and the bit that decides everything.
Falls and drainage thought through
Levels set away from the house at 1:80, soakaways where the ground needs them, joints pointed in colour-matched mortar that doesn't crack out.
Materials chosen to suit the house
Indian sandstone, honed porcelain, clay paver - picked with the property in mind. Samples brought to you, not selected from a brochure.
Why this works in Farnborough
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
When we quote for patios in Farnborough, the first visit isn't about specs. It's about how you actually use the back of the house, where the sun is, and where the water goes in November.
We're on a Farnborough site most months - so a first visit is usually quick to arrange, and snag visits never an ordeal.

Common questions
What Farnborough clients usually ask about patios.
Do you handle the drainage and soakaways too?+
Yes. We design falls, install perforated land drains where needed and size soakaways properly. Drainage is part of the patio quote, not a separate trade we leave to someone else.
Can you remove the old patio and dispose of the spoil?+
Yes - lift, break out and skip removal are all included in the price. We work tidily, sweep daily and protect routes through the house.
Sandstone or porcelain - which is right for our garden?+
Sandstone is warmer underfoot, weathers softly and suits older or family-feeling gardens. Porcelain is harder, stays cleaner under shade and reads more contemporary. We bring samples to you and look at both against the house before deciding.
How long does a typical patio take to lay?+
A 30–50m² patio runs one to two weeks from dig to clean-up. Larger terraces with steps or retaining can stretch to three. We give you a clear day-by-day plan before we start.
