Patios and Paving Built to Last in Worcester Gardens

Sinking and cracking almost always come down to a poorly prepared base underneath. Worcestershire's clay ground shifts with wet and dry weather, so without a properly compacted sub base and drainage falls, paving moves and eventually cracks or pools with water.

It depends on the look you want and your budget. Natural stone and porcelain give a premium finish and are low maintenance, while block paving is durable and cost effective, particularly for paths and driveways. We can talk through the options during your free quote.

A standard garden patio typically takes a few days from groundwork to finished pointing, depending on size and ground conditions. We will give you a realistic timescale as part of the quote.

Yes, where the base is still sound we can often re lay or re point sunken or cracked sections rather than replacing the whole patio, which keeps costs down.

Yes, we lay block paving for patios, paths and driveways, always with a properly compacted sub base to cope with vehicle weight where that is needed.

Without the right falls built into the base, water pools on the surface instead of running off, which leads to slippery patches, algae growth and eventually damage to the paving and pointing over time.

Most garden patios do not need planning permission, though there are exceptions for very large areas or properties in conservation areas. We can advise on your specific situation during the quote visit.

Porcelain is manufactured, very low maintenance and resistant to staining, while natural stone has more variation in colour and texture but can need more regular sealing and cleaning. Both are durable options for a Worcestershire garden.

Yes, removal and disposal of old paving is included where a full replacement is needed, so you are not left dealing with the waste yourself.

Cost depends on the size of the patio, the material chosen and the condition of the ground beneath it. We provide a free, no obligation quote after seeing the site in person.
