Design, Construction & Finishing Works
Site Excavation & Ground Preparation
Existing ground levels were excavated and prepared to establish a stable base for the new patio installation. Proper excavation depth is essential to prevent movement and ensure long-term structural stability. The area was carefully levelled and compacted prior to base installation.
Sub-Base & Drainage Installation
A compacted sub-base was installed to provide structural support and prevent settlement. Drainage solutions were incorporated to manage surface water and prevent pooling, ensuring the patio performs effectively in varying weather conditions.

Concrete Base & Structural Stability
Where required, a reinforced concrete base was poured to provide additional strength and durability. This ensures the paving remains stable over time and resists cracking or shifting.
Precision Paving Installation
High-quality paving slabs were laid with careful alignment and consistent joint spacing. Attention to detail ensures clean lines and an even surface finish, enhancing both aesthetics and usability.

Edging & Border Detailing
Defined edging and border finishes were installed to frame the patio and create visual structure. Proper edge restraint prevents movement and maintains the integrity of the paving layout.
