Patio & Paving in Richmond
Richmond's riverside setting and handsome period housing make its gardens some of the most prized in South West London. We work sensitively across TW9 and TW10, where many properties sit in conservation areas. When it comes to patio & paving in Richmond, that local knowledge matters: With so many listed and conservation-area homes near the river and the park, we keep landscaping in keeping with the setting and flag any consents that may be needed.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Richmond
Choosing a team that already works across Richmond and TW9, TW10 means we understand the gardens here — the Thames-side loam ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Richmond and neighbouring Teddington and Kingston upon Thames, 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.
