Our Hard Landscaping services
Patios and Paving
All successful gardens have one thing in common: a patio installed to professional standards. Whether you want to create a peaceful sanctuary, the perfect spot for family dinners, or a place to socialise with friends, your patio will become the focal point of your plans.
Our skilled builders lay all popular patio and paving materials, including:
- Natural Stone
- Indian Sandstone
- Concrete
- Block Paving
As you would expect from a locally trusted landscaping company, we adapt our service to your needs, but without any compromise in our own quality standards.
If you want us to install your patio adjacent to your home, the finished surface must sit at least 150mm below the damp proof course. Because the typical patio allows 150mm for the sub-base and paving, we dig out the area to a depth of at least 300mm below the damp proofing.
While finished patios look flat, they have a slight fall. Our builders integrate this into the foundations. For every 60cm of width, we add a fall of 1cm. For example, a patio with a width of 3m will have a fall of 5cm (50mm).
This fall is essential for adequate rainwater drainage. By directing water away from the surface, your patio won’t suffer from unsightly, damaging puddles.
Our landscaping company also lays pathways to connect your new patio to other features around your garden, such as a shed, deck, swimming pool or garden building.
Driveways
Given its prominent place at the front of your home, your driveway has a huge impact on how visitors and passers-by view your property. However, a successful driveway not only needs to look good, it must also have the strength and resilience to withstand vehicle loads day in, day out.
From the outset, our builders work with you to ensure we create a fit-for-purpose driveway. We consider all aspects, including the soil type, your chosen material, drainage requirements and the number of vehicles you plan to park on it.
When it comes to driveways, our landscaping company uses:
- Gravel
- Block Paving
- Concrete
- Tarmac
We cannot overstate the importance of drainage when choosing your driveway material. Every new driveway our builders lay, be it in Surrey, London, or across the South East, must comply with SuDS guidelines.
SuDS legislation for driveways focuses on a responsible, sustainable approach to water management that reduces the risk of flooding. In turn, this enhances the quality of the local water supply.
In short, if your new driveway consists of a permeable material that lets water drain through to the ground beneath, you don’t need to worry about planning permission. However, if you choose an impermeable material, you will need to include provisions for rainwater run-off or face the prospect of applying for planning approval. Solutions include drainage channels which direct water to a soakaway or lawned area.
