Patio & Paving in Wimbledon

From the grand period houses of Wimbledon Village to the family gardens of the surrounding roads, Wimbledon's outdoor spaces span a wide range. We cover SW19 and SW20 with design, build and maintenance to suit each. When it comes to patio & paving in Wimbledon, that local knowledge matters: Gardens near Wimbledon Common often back onto greenery and mature trees, so we plan planting and lawns around shade and established roots.

Why local matters for patio & paving in Wimbledon

Choosing a team that already works across Wimbledon and SW19, SW20 means we understand the gardens here — the common-edge sand and gravel ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Wimbledon and neighbouring New Malden and Kingston upon Thames, 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.
