Patio & Paving in Banstead
Banstead's village character and position on the North Downs give it a settled, green feel, with gardens that reward thoughtful planting. We work throughout SM7 on landscaping, hedging and regular maintenance. When it comes to patio & paving in Banstead, that local knowledge matters: Banstead sits on chalk, so the soil is alkaline and free-draining, excellent for many shrubs and perennials but unsuited to acid-lovers, which we factor into every planting plan.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Banstead
Choosing a team that already works across Banstead and SM7 means we understand the gardens here — the alkaline chalk ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of Surrey. We're regularly in Banstead and neighbouring Epsom and Cheam, 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.
