Questions about patios, paving and decking

What customers usually ask.

Can you help choose between paving and decking?

Yes. The choice should consider levels, drainage, maintenance, appearance, access and how the area will be used.

Can existing paving be removed?

Removal and disposal can be included where agreed, along with excavation and preparation for the new build-up.

How close can a patio be to the house?

Finished levels, damp-proof courses, thresholds and drainage must be considered. The site should be assessed before final levels are agreed.

Can steps and retaining details be included?

Yes, where required by level changes and within the agreed project scope.
