Garden Patios in Ashford
Homes in Ashford
Ashford is a Spelthorne town near Heathrow, and most of its housing is inter-war and later semis and terraces. Where a patio meets the back wall of a house like these, the slabs need a slight fall away from the building so rainwater drains off rather than sitting by the house. The photo on this page shows a completed courtyard garden of ours, paved and finished at an angle to the rear. In the review beside it, the customer praised the advice given throughout and how a garden that had been a building site was transformed.
“Fantastic job of our fence, patio, and lawn, garden was a building site prior to this and the transformation is stunning. Great advice given throughout, would highly recommend and we are looking forward to having you back for Phase 2 - side path and driveway 👌🏼”
What matters for garden patios in Ashford
To price Garden Patios in Ashford, tell us where the patio should go, roughly how big it is, what covers the area now and whether natural stone or porcelain appeals. Let us know how materials can get into the back garden, too. Patios last longest on a sub-base that has been properly dug and compacted, so the groundwork matters as much as the slabs on top.
- Agreeing the position and size, from a dining area close to the house to a separate seating spot.
- Ground preparation: a properly dug and compacted sub-base, which is what helps a patio last.
- Levels: the surface falls slightly away from the house so rain runs off.
- Finishing the edges so the patio joins your lawn, paths and doors neatly.
Questions about garden patios in Ashford
Which patio materials can I choose from?
We install natural stone and porcelain. Our gallery has completed patios in both, so you can point to a colour, slab style or layout you like.
Can the patio be part of a bigger garden job?
Yes. If you also want pathways, artificial turf, fencing or other landscaping, mention it when you get in touch so we can look at the garden as a whole.
Why does a patio need a slope?
A slight fall away from the house lets rainwater drain off the surface instead of collecting next to your home.
