Poor falls are the thing most people don't think about until it's too late. When a patio is laid without adequate drainage, water sits on the surface, works into the joints through winter, and by spring you've got frost-heaved slabs and a surface that's moving underfoot. We set every installation with the correct falls from the start, so water goes where it's meant to go.
We work across Chipping Norton and the surrounding area, laying patios, paths, and garden surfaces that are built to last. Materials we regularly work with include:
A lot of our work goes beyond the patio itself. Gardens up on exposed ground, around the Cotswold escarpment for instance, need more thought about how wind, rain, and frost affect fencing and walling over time. We build new garden walls and timber fencing that are properly footed and fixed, not just sat on the surface.
Artificial grass and turfed lawns are something we fit regularly as well. Preparation matters more than the product.
Worth saying plainly. Every natural Indian limestone installation we lay will shift in colour across the slabs.
That's not a fault. That's the material. If you're expecting uniform colour across every tile, porcelain is the better call and we'll tell you that honestly before anything is ordered.
