Patios & Paving in Kingston upon Thames

A patio is the most-used part of most Kingston gardens. It is where you set up the table for summer lunches, where the chairs sit on a Saturday morning, where the children spill out from the back door. It needs to be beautiful — and it needs to be engineered.

We approach every patio installation in Kingston as a structural exercise. Correctly compacted sub-base, set falls, drainage runs taken to a proper soakaway, full mortar bed, hand-pointed joints. Done this way, a patio will look as good in twenty years as it does the day it is laid.

For Kingston's period homes we most often specify sawn Yorkstone, Portland limestone or aged riven sandstone — natural materials that quietly improve with age. For contemporary architecture, large-format porcelain in soft greys, warm taupes or off-whites holds its line beautifully.

We work with established UK stone yards and porcelain importers and will bring samples to your home so you can see the materials in your own light before any decision is made.

A patio is not a standalone product. The most successful Kingston patios sit within a designed garden — with planting that softens the edges, level changes that resolve cleanly, and lighting that lets the terrace work into the evening.

We design and install the terrace alongside the rest of the garden so it reads as one considered scheme.
