Patios looking rough and dirty. Maybe it could be pressure washed and repointed. Also driveway or any other services. This can be a cheeper way rather than be replaced. If interested you can contact me for a quote.

Here we have a recently completed extension with stunning black bifolding doors. Leading down to the patio, are the new curved fronted stone slabs. There are smooth, red face bricks underneath the slabs. They blend in beautifully with the grey sandstone patio which is pointed in with a resin material. The front of the patio is all curved to follow the curves in the red bricks as shown. I have introduced a galvanised drainage channel to divert the service water to a soak away. Also, new steps have been built leading to the garage which are matching the main steps. I have also built a second curved patio at a lower level and built new steps again, matching the others which lead up to the french doors of the kitchen.

Here we have a just completed patio and path. It is in grey sandstone, laid on a w**d control membrane, on top of a compacted hardcore base, including new drainage channels. Also, there is a curved stone dwarf wall to form boarders for planting. Dates still available before Christmas to complete your garden look.

Went back to a job today which we had done almost 20 years ago. I couldn’t help myself and had to take these photos of the stonework. Stonework is my passion, and something I enjoy.

Here we have some before and after photos of a slate patio just completed . A lot of work has gone into this job and the photos don’t show the excavation side of the job, but the finish speaks for itself.
