Homes in Bromsgrove range from period houses near the town centre to modern estates and larger properties on the edge of the countryside, with the Lickey Hills in the background. We build patios, paths and paved areas for all of them, choosing materials and shapes that suit the age and character of each house.
We start by looking at the garden with you, talking about how you want to use it and marking out the shape on the ground. Then comes careful digging, a compacted base, paving laid with a fall for drainage and tidy finishing. We take the waste away when we leave.
A period house deserves a patio that does not look out of place. In Bromsgrove we often suggest natural stone or a good sandstone-look paving in softer tones, laid in mixed sizes so the surface has a settled, traditional feel. Straight edges and neat joints keep it crisp, while a border of planting softens the line where the paving meets the lawn.
Newer estate homes suit a cleaner look. Large porcelain slabs in a single colour give a modern finish and are easy to wipe down, which helps in a garden with trees nearby. We bring samples so you can compare them against your brickwork and windows, and we talk honestly about how each surface weathers. Either style can be edged with a soft border.
Mature gardens and tall hedges are common around Bromsgrove, and they shape where a patio works well. A spot in full shade stays damp and can grow moss, while one beside a hedge may sit over its roots. We look at the light and the trees first, then choose a position and a surface that will stay pleasant to use. We tell you plainly what we find.
Underneath, we dig out to a sound depth, compact a sub-base and lay the paving with a gentle fall so water drains away from the house. Joints are pointed and edges at walls, steps and borders are finished carefully. Where old paving or concrete is in the way, we break it out and clear it with the soil. Everything is carried away afterwards.
Many Bromsgrove gardens are reached through side gates or past parked cars, so we plan how materials come in and keep the route as clear as possible. We also cover Catshill, Barnt Green and Alvechurch, so ask if you live just outside town. Once the job is complete, we sweep up and leave the garden ready to enjoy.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Natural stone or a sandstone-look paving in muted tones usually sits well beside period brickwork, particularly when laid in mixed sizes. We bring samples so you can judge colour and texture against the house before choosing. We bring samples to your garden.
Yes, but we take care. Hedge roots and shade influence the position and depth of the work, so we check as we dig and adjust the layout where needed. We also tell you if the hedge itself should be trimmed first.
Yes, if it is cracked, uneven or poorly based, we break it out, load it and take it away. Laying new paving over a weak surface only shifts the problem, so we prepare the ground properly first. A sound base is what keeps the patio flat.
