Paving choices
-
Porcelain, sandstone, limestone, granite and concrete each behave differently in frost and underfoot, so you see samples laid out wet before deciding.
-
We check slip rating and colour in the spot the patio will occupy, because shade and damp alter both considerably.
-
Setting out happens on site before a slab is cut, so the full ones face the house and the cuts fall out of the way.
-
Brush-in or slurry mortar jointing chosen to match the slab, which is what holds the joints and keeps weeds down.
Ground and base
-
The sandy ground common around Ascot drains freely but moves, so we dig a trial hole and build the sub-base to what is actually there.
-
A full mortar bed under each slab instead of five dabs, since dabs are the reason patios end up rocking.
-
Water falls away from the house, and a channel drain or soakaway goes in wherever it is needed.
-
The finished paving sits 150mm under the damp-proof course so damp cannot bridge across.
Levels and steps
-
Raised patios, steps and retaining walls built to carry what is behind them, with risers matched so nobody stumbles.
-
Haunched, restrained edges, because the edge is always where a patio begins to creep away and drop.
-
Cable and lighting ducts buried before paving starts, instead of being chased in and made good later on.
-
Muckaway takes the spoil off site and the patio is washed down, so you are handed a garden rather than a mess.
