Patio & Paving in Bracknell
Bracknell's newer housing estates sit on the edge of Berkshire's heathland and forest belt near Swinley Forest, giving gardens here a distinct character compared to the older market towns nearby. We handle garden design, landscaping and maintenance across RG12. When it comes to patio & paving in Bracknell, that local knowledge matters: Like much of the ground toward Ascot and Crowthorne, Bracknell sits on sandy, acidic Bagshot Beds soil, which suits heathers, azaleas and other acid-loving planting but needs different feeding and preparation to chalkier ground elsewhere in the region.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Bracknell
Choosing a team that already works across Bracknell and RG12 means we understand the gardens here, the sandy, acidic Bagshot Beds heathland ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of Berkshire. We're regularly in Bracknell and neighbouring Wokingham and Ascot, 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.
