Getting the Base Right

A patio is only as good as what lies beneath it. We dig out and lay a compacted sub-base before any slabs go down, which stops sinking and cracking later. Skipping this stage is why some patios fail. We take the time to build a firm foundation on every patio we lay across Wimborne.

Choosing Your Paving

There is a wide choice of paving, from natural stone to porcelain and concrete slabs, each with its own look and price. We help you pick paving that suits your garden and budget in Wimborne, and explain how each type wears over time. The right choice gives you a patio you are happy with for years.

Drainage and Falls

A patio needs a slight fall so rain runs off rather than pooling. We set the correct falls away from your house and lay slabs level with tight, even joints. Good drainage keeps the surface safe and stops water sitting against the walls. This care in the detail is what makes a patio work well in Wimborne.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best paving for a patio in Wimborne?

It depends on your garden and budget. Porcelain is hard-wearing and low-maintenance, natural stone looks characterful, and concrete slabs are a cost-effective choice. We talk through the options with you in Wimborne and explain how each wears over time, so you pick paving you will be happy with for years.

Why do patios sink or crack in Wimborne?

Patios usually sink or crack because the base was not built properly. Without a compacted sub-base, slabs shift and settle over time. When we lay a patio in Wimborne we always build a firm foundation first, which is what stops these problems and keeps the surface flat and safe for years.
