Wednesbury's terraces and 20th century estates mostly have small to medium gardens, often with an old concrete yard or a few cracked slabs near the house. A new patio can change how the whole space feels. We design and build paved areas to fit the plot, with a solid base, a tidy finish and drainage that works.
First we look at the garden and agree what you want. Then we excavate, build a compacted sub-base, lay the paving to a fall and point the joints. Edges meet walls and borders cleanly, and we take away old material.
A concrete yard or a patch of bare ground is a common starting point in Wednesbury. Often the simplest answer is to treat the paved area as an outdoor room, set it a little off the back wall and add a border or a pot corner at its edge. That makes a small plot feel planned rather than leftover, even with only a few metres to work with.
If there is already hard surfacing, we check what is under it before deciding whether to lift it. Thin concrete over soft fill moves, so we usually remove it and build a proper sub-base. Where the existing slab is sound and level, we can talk through whether overlaying is sensible, and we only suggest it if it will last. Expect us to say so if lifting it is the better route.
Wednesbury has canals and green corridors running through it, and some gardens sit lower than their neighbours or beside embankments. In those cases we look carefully at where water collects. The paving is set with a slight fall away from the house, and we can angle it to carry rain towards a border, lawn or soakaway-friendly area rather than towards a wall.
Material choice follows from the plot. Porcelain has a clean, modern appearance that suits newer estates, while sandstone-look slabs suit older brick terraces. Both resist staining reasonably well when kept swept, and neither needs painting or treating. We explain what upkeep to expect, so you are not left guessing, and we cut neat edges around drains and steps, finishing the joints so they stay full through the winter.
Tell us your address in Wednesbury, how big the garden is and how you want to use the patio. We will look at levels, access along the side of the house and where the waste will go, then suggest a layout. We also cover West Bromwich, Tipton, Darlaston, Walsall and Moxley. Once finished we clear the site, leaving the patio ready to use.
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.

Usually yes, because thin or cracked concrete moves and carries that movement into new paving. If the slab is thick, level and sound, we can discuss overlaying it. We check the condition first and give you honest advice.
We set the new paving with a slight fall away from the wall, towards a border or lawn. Rebuilding the base removes the dips where water sits. We also look at drains and downpipes so the water has somewhere sensible to go.
Yes. A compact, well-shaped patio often works better than a big one. We mark out options on the ground so you can see what fits, and keep a small border or planting strip to stop the garden feeling like a courtyard.
