New Patios on a Proper Base
A new patio in Cranfield should sit on a firm base, run level across its length and fall gently away from the house so rain drains off. We lay natural stone, porcelain, concrete flags and block paving, and help you choose the paving and jointing that suit your garden.
We dig out, lay and compact the base, then set each slab on a full bed so it is supported across its whole underside. The patio falls gently away from your walls, set against the damp-proof course, so rainwater drains into the garden rather than towards your brickwork.
New patios are laid across Bedford, Flitwick, Sandy, Bletchley and the Milton Keynes area. The free quote is written down and covers the groundwork, bedding and paving you choose, based on the levels and access we find.
Signs You Need a New Patio
These are the situations that most often lead people to get in touch about this work, and what each one usually means.
Nowhere to Sit Outside
You have lawn or bare ground behind the house and want a solid, level space for outdoor dining, a barbecue or simply a couple of chairs in the sun.
An Old Patio Past Saving
Your existing slabs are cracked, loose or badly sunk, and the base underneath has given up, so lifting it and starting again is the sensible choice.
A New Extension or Doors
Bi-fold or French doors have gone in, and you want paving outside that lines up with the new threshold and gives you a step-free route out.
A Change of Style
The paving is sound but dated, and you would like a cleaner modern porcelain or a natural stone finish that better suits your home.

How a New Patio Is Laid
Planning the Layout
We measure the space, agree the size and shape with you, check the levels at the house and help you choose the paving and jointing.
Digging Out
Turf, soil or old paving is removed to the required depth, and the ground is checked for soft spots, roots or services before the base goes in.
Base & Laying
A sub-base is laid and compacted, then each slab or block is bedded and tapped down to line and level, with a steady fall away from the walls.
Pointing & Review
Joints are pointed or filled, the area is swept and cleared, and we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
