Patio & Paving in Cheam
Cheam's leafy roads and period homes, many near Nonsuch Park, give it a settled, green character. We cover SM2 and SM3 with planting, hedging, landscaping and ongoing maintenance. When it comes to patio & paving in Cheam, that local knowledge matters: With mature trees common in Cheam gardens, we plan planting and lawns around shade and established roots so the whole garden stays healthy.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Cheam
Choosing a team that already works across Cheam and SM2, SM3 means we understand the gardens here — the loam over clay ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Cheam and neighbouring Worcester Park and Banstead, 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.
