Patios
Why Choose SE Groundworks?
A patio is extra living space, so we start with how you want to use it: somewhere to eat, a sunny corner to sit in, or a link between the house and the rest of the garden. We advise on size, shape and material so it suits the house and gets the light when you will use it.
We are a family run firm with over 20 years in groundworks, so the digging, levels and drainage are handled by the same people who lay the stone. Our reviews mention the tidy finish, and you have one point of contact from quote to completion.

Patios & Paths
Quality You Can Depend On
Patios are laid with a fall away from the house so rain runs off rather than towards your walls, and finished below the damp-proof course. Slabs go down on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base, which stops rocking and the hollow spots that let water in.
Choose from sandstone, granite, limestone, slate, porcelain, concrete flags or block paving, in clean modern lines or traditional patterned layouts. Paths and steps are built the same way, with edging that keeps them crisp and steps set at even, comfortable heights.
