Patio & Paving in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston blends a busy riverside town centre with quieter residential roads of Victorian and Edwardian homes. We work across KT1 and KT2, from compact town gardens to larger family plots. When it comes to patio & paving in Kingston upon Thames, that local knowledge matters: Many Kingston gardens are classic town plots where smart use of paving, screening and planting makes a modest space feel generous, exactly the kind of design we enjoy.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Kingston upon Thames
Choosing a team that already works across Kingston upon Thames and KT1, KT2 means we understand the gardens here — the Thames valley clay-loam ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Kingston upon Thames and neighbouring Surbiton and New Malden, 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.
