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 Virginia Water
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Virginia Water patios sit within mature, often architectural settings. The job is rarely to make a statement - it's to add a terrace that quietly raises the standard and integrates with what's already a well-considered garden.
Many Virginia Water properties - particularly across the Wentworth Estate - sit within mature, sometimes protected planting. We're used to working sensitively around root zones and detailing builds so they integrate quietly.
- Protected trees & estate sensitivities - Tree reports where required, hand-dug foundations within root protection zones, careful access scheduling on estate plots.
- Co-ordinating with other trades - We work happily alongside pool specialists, designers and architects when the project calls for it.
- Discreet site presence - Quiet plant, careful access, deliveries timed away from hosting; the site is somewhere you'd be comfortable walking guests past.

Common questions
What Virginia Water clients usually ask about patios.
Do you work on the Wentworth Estate?+
Yes - including the additional care that comes with estate access, planning sensitivities and protected planting. We brief the team carefully on each site.
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.
