Patio & Paving in Chessington
Chessington's mix of post-war and newer homes gives it plenty of practical, family-friendly gardens. We cover KT9 with maintenance, turfing, decking, fencing and landscaping. When it comes to patio & paving in Chessington, that local knowledge matters: Gardens here are often used hard by families, so we focus on durable surfaces, resilient lawns and planting that copes with real-life use.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Chessington
Choosing a team that already works across Chessington and KT9 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 Chessington and neighbouring Surbiton and Epsom, 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.
