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 Sandhurst
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our patios work in Sandhurst 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.
Our workshop is a few minutes away - so a Sandhurst job is usually one of the first we can fit in, and a snag visit is never an ordeal.

Common questions
What Sandhurst clients usually ask about patios.
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.
Will it work on a sloping garden?+
Yes - using low retaining, sleepers or sympathetic steps we create a level usable area without forcing the rest of the garden to follow. Most sloping plots end up more interesting for it.
