Patios & Paving
Transform your garden with beautiful paving
About Patios & Paving
A well-designed patio transforms a garden into an outdoor living space. We specialise in laying natural stone and porcelain paving for patios, paths, and entertainment areas throughout Bristol and the surrounding area.
Our most popular choices include Indian sandstone — a warm, natural material available in buff, grey, and autumn shades — natural sandstone for a smooth, even surface, and large-format porcelain tiles for a contemporary, low-maintenance finish. All patios are laid on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base to ensure a stable, lasting result with no movement or settling.

- Wide choice — porcelain, Indian sandstone, natural sandstone
- Full mortar bed for a solid, lasting installation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most durable patio material?
Porcelain is the most durable and low-maintenance option — stain, frost, and slip resistant. Indian sandstone gives a more natural look but benefits from sealing.
Does a patio need planning permission?
Patios do not usually require planning permission. If the patio is raised or in a conservation area, we would advise checking with the council first.
Can you build steps and retaining walls to match?
Yes — we can incorporate steps, retaining walls, and edging in matching or complementary materials.
