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 Winkfield
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Winkfield 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.
A lot of Winkfield plots are wider than they are deep - we design with the proportions of the house in mind so the new work reads as a continuation, not a separate object.

Common questions
What Winkfield clients usually ask about patios.
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.
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.
