Patio & Paving in Oxshott
Oxshott's large, wooded plots and heathland setting call for landscaping that suits the established, semi-rural character of the area. We work on substantial gardens across KT22, from structural hard landscaping to sensitive planting. When it comes to patio & paving in Oxshott, that local knowledge matters: The free-draining, sandy and slightly acidic heath soil around Oxshott suits a particular palette of planting, and we choose stock that thrives in it rather than fights it.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Oxshott
Choosing a team that already works across Oxshott and KT22 means we understand the gardens here — the sandy, free-draining heath ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of Surrey. We're regularly in Oxshott and neighbouring Cobham and Esher, 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.
