Patio & Paving in Surbiton

Surbiton's elegant Victorian and Edwardian villas come with characterful gardens that suit considered, period-sympathetic landscaping. We cover KT5 and KT6 on everything from planting to full redesigns. When it comes to patio & paving in Surbiton, that local knowledge matters: The area's older homes often have long, narrow rear gardens, where zoning the space and clever paving and planting transform how the whole plot is used.

Why local matters for patio & paving in Surbiton

Choosing a team that already works across Surbiton and KT5, KT6 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 Surbiton and neighbouring Kingston upon Thames 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.
