A patio is more than a paved area. It needs correct levels, drainage, and structural preparation to remain safe and usable year after year. Poor groundwork leads to uneven surfaces, water pooling, and movement.

- Patio design and layout planning
- Ground excavation and preparation
- Sub-base installation and compaction
- Drainage planning and surface falls
- Block paving patio installation
- Edging, steps, and finishing details

We manage the entire process in-house, ensuring quality control from the first site visit to final completion.
Block Paving Patios in Cambridge
Block paving is one of the most practical and versatile patio options. It provides a structured appearance, strong load capacity, and flexibility in layout and design.
Benefits of block paving patios
- Durable surface suitable for regular use
- Flexible design options, including patterns and borders
- Defined edges for clean visual lines
- Easy integration with paths and garden features
- Individual blocks can be replaced if needed
Block paving patios suit a wide range of properties
From traditional homes to modern developments. The final result depends on accurate installation and proper groundwork, not just the paving itself.
We install block paving patios with attention to:
- Correct excavation depth
- Stable and compacted sub-base
- Accurate levels and falls
- Secure edge restraints
- Neat jointing and finish
Patio Design and Layout Planning
A well-designed patio improves how you use your garden. During the site survey, we help you plan a layout that works with the space rather than against it.
Size and positioning
- How the patio will be used (seating, dining, access)
- Sun exposure throughout the day
- Proximity to doors and garden features
- Flow between patio, lawn, and paths
Levels and steps
Changes in level are common in Cambridge gardens. We plan:
- Step placement for safe access
- Retaining edges where needed
- Smooth transitions between areas
Drainage considerations
Standing water shortens the life of a patio and creates safety issues. We design patios with:
- Correct surface falls
- Water run-off planning
- Drainage solutions where required
Our Patio Installation Process
We follow a clear, step-by-step installation process similar to established patio contractors in Cambridge.
Integrating Patios with Garden Spaces
Many Cambridge homeowners choose to combine patio installation with other garden improvements. We design patios that connect naturally with surrounding areas.
Common integrations include:
- Paved paths linking garden areas
- Lawn and turf boundaries
- Seating zones and walkways
- Transitions between driveway and patio surfaces
This approach creates a balanced outdoor layout rather than isolated features.
Ground Conditions and Patio Performance in Cambridge
Soil conditions play a major role in patio durability. Clay-based ground, common in parts of Cambridge, requires careful preparation to avoid movement and drainage problems.
We account for ground conditions when:
- Setting excavation depth
- Selecting sub-base materials
- Planning drainage and surface falls
This reduces the risk of future settlement and uneven surfaces.
Patio Repairs and Upgrades
If you already have a patio, we can assess whether repairs or upgrades are suitable.
We commonly address:
- Uneven or sunken areas
- Loose or damaged paving blocks
- Poor drainage and pooling water
- Worn joints or edging failure
Where repairs are not practical, we will explain replacement options clearly.
Patio Maintenance and Aftercare
A professionally installed patio requires minimal maintenance, but basic care helps preserve appearance.
Block paving patio care
- Address weeds early
- Sweep regularly to prevent debris build-up
- Occasional cleaning if needed
We provide aftercare guidance tailored to your patio and usage.
