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 Odiham
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our patios work in Odiham comes from the same kind of conversation - a family that's been in the house long enough to know what they want it to do, and a garden that hasn't quite kept up.
Many Odiham properties sit within or near the conservation area. We design accordingly - materials, eaves heights and finishes that read as part of the setting.

Common questions
What Odiham clients usually ask about patios.
What goes wrong with patios that don't last?+
Usually one of three things: a thin or absent sub-base, slabs bedded on dots instead of full mortar, or pointing in the wrong mix. Every one of those is invisible the day the job finishes - and obvious two winters later.
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.
