Our Services

Patio Installation

A patio gives you a solid space for a table, chairs and a barbecue. Patio installation starts with digging out, then laying a compacted sub-base. The slabs go down on a full mortar bed with a slight fall so rain runs off. See our patio installation page for how it is done.

Patio Repair

Rocking slabs, crumbling joints and weeds do not always mean you need a new patio. Patio repair can lift and re-bed loose slabs, replace cracked ones and re-point the gaps. A deep clean often brings the stone back to life. Read our patio repair page for the common problems we fix.

Porcelain Patios

Porcelain patios are hard wearing, easy to clean and resist stains from food and drink. The slabs are thin and dense, so they need a primer on the back to grip the mortar bed. They come in stone and wood effects. Our porcelain patios page explains the benefits.

Garden Path Installation

A good garden path gives you a clean, safe route across the lawn or to the shed, bins or back gate. Garden path installation can use slabs, block paving, gravel or setts. Edging keeps everything in place. Visit our garden path installation page to see which material suits you.

Block Paving Driveways

Block paving driveways are strong, neat and come in many colours and patterns. The blocks sit on a sand bed over a deep, compacted sub-base, with edging to hold them tight. Sand is brushed into the joints to lock them. Our block paving driveways page covers the full process.

Gravel Driveways

Gravel driveways are quick to lay and let rainwater soak through. A firm sub-base and weed membrane go down first. Gravel grids can be added to stop the stones spreading and stop ruts forming. Read our gravel driveways page to see if gravel is right for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Alton?

You do not need planning permission for a new front driveway in Alton if it uses a permeable surface, such as gravel or permeable block paving, or if rainwater drains onto a lawn or border. Non-permeable surfaces over 5 square metres that drain onto the road do need permission.

How long does it take to lay a patio in Alton?

Most patios in Alton take between three days and two weeks to lay. A small patio on flat ground is quick. Larger areas, steps, walls or poor ground take longer. The mortar also needs time to set before you walk on it. We give you a time frame when we come out to look.

Which is better for a driveway in Alton, block paving or gravel?

Block paving is neater, easier to sweep and good for steep drives, while gravel is quicker to lay, often costs less and drains well. Both suit most homes in Alton. The right choice depends on your budget, the slope of the drive and how you like it to look. We can talk through both when we visit.
