Patio & Paving in Brixton
Brixton's dense Victorian terraces mean most gardens here are compact rear plots, but the proximity to Brockwell Park means there's real appetite for green, well-planted outdoor space. We work on garden design and maintenance throughout SW2 and SW9. When it comes to patio & paving in Brixton, that local knowledge matters: Small terraced gardens in Brixton are often overshadowed by neighbouring buildings and boundary walls, so we favour planting that copes well with part shade and gives structure in a limited footprint.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Brixton
Choosing a team that already works across Brixton and SW2, SW9 means we understand the gardens here, the London clay ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Brixton and neighbouring Clapham and Stockwell, so a visit is easy to arrange.
The base is the patio
We excavate to the correct depth, lay and compact a structural sub-base, and bed every slab on a full mortar bed rather than five spot blobs. Full-bed laying is what stops slabs rocking, cracking and staining, and it is the corner most often cut.
Falls, drainage and the damp course
Every patio is laid with a slight fall so water runs away from your house, never toward it, and we keep paving the correct distance below the damp-proof course. Get this wrong and you invite damp into the building; we design it in from the start.
