Patio & Paving in Maidenhead

Maidenhead's riverside position along the Thames, from the town centre out toward Cookham and Bray, means many gardens here have to work with proximity to water as well as generous plot sizes typical of the commuter belt. We cover garden design, landscaping and maintenance across SL6. When it comes to patio & paving in Maidenhead, that local knowledge matters: Gardens closer to the Thames around Boulters Lock and the riverside can be prone to periodic flooding, so we plan drainage and choose planting that can tolerate occasional wet ground without giving up on a polished look.

Why local matters for patio & paving in Maidenhead

Choosing a team that already works across Maidenhead and SL6 means we understand the gardens here, the Thames Valley gravel and alluvial ground ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of Berkshire. We're regularly in Maidenhead and neighbouring Windsor and Marlow, 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.
