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 Frogmore
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Frogmore patios projects share a pattern. The houses are well-loved, the kitchens have usually been extended, and the garden is the part that's been waiting its turn.
Frogmore is one of the closest postcodes to our workshop - quick to visit, quick to come back for a snag.

Common questions
What Frogmore 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.
