Kingswinford homes tend to come with decent gardens, and a decent garden deserves more than a small square of slabs by the back door. We build patios, paths and paved areas across DY6, from a modest terrace to a large entertaining space with a path running down to the lawn and the shed.
We start by listening to how you use the garden, then walk the plot with you. After that we put forward a plan for position, size and material, so you know exactly what you are getting before work begins.
With more room to play with, the question in Kingswinford is often where to put things. A patio near the house is handy for the kitchen, but a second seating area further out might catch the late sun or take you away from the road noise. We can suggest both and link them with a firm, level path. It is your garden, so we plan it around the way you live.
Larger areas also demand more groundwork. The bigger the patio, the more water it sheds, so we plan the falls carefully and make sure runoff goes somewhere sensible. A solid, compacted sub-base across the whole area stops the surface settling unevenly, which is what spoils a big patio most quickly. We also tidy the edges against lawns and borders so the whole job looks finished.
Parts of Kingswinford sit near open countryside, and the ground there can be softer or slope a little. We check the levels before marking out, then dig, compact and build up in layers so the finished patio is firm and flat. Where the garden slopes, a small step or retaining edge can make the terrace far more usable. We always walk the slope with you first.
Choosing the finish is the enjoyable part. Porcelain gives a clean, modern look, sandstone-look paving feels softer and natural stone suits traditional houses. We bring samples to your garden so you can see them in real light, next to your own brickwork, before you commit to one. That makes the decision far easier, and it avoids surprises later on. Ask as many questions as you like.
Many Kingswinford gardens have tall hedges and mature trees that frame the space nicely but drop leaves and shade the ground. We design around them, finish the edges neatly where paving meets borders, and can cut back anything in the way beforehand. We also cover Wall Heath, Wordsley, Pensnett and Stourbridge, so just let us know where you are.
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.

As large as the space and your budget allow, though it is worth keeping some lawn or planting for balance. We will mark the outline on the grass so you can see the scale before deciding, and adjust it if it feels too much.
Yes. We either cut into the slope or build up, then support the change in level with an edge or a step. The patio itself is set level with a slight fall for drainage, so it is comfortable to use.
In a larger garden, usually yes. A firm path keeps shoes clean, links the patio to the shed or lawn, and helps wheelbarrows and mowers. We can lay it in the same material, and at the same visit.
