New Patio Installation
A new patio gives you a level, firm place to eat, sit and dry the washing, right outside the back door. Herts Paving & Landscaping designs and lays new patios across Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford and the surrounding towns, sized to your garden and the way you actually use it.
Stone choice shapes how the patio looks and how much care it needs. Porcelain resists stains and stays even in colour, sandstone brings natural variation, and granite copes well with heavy use. Free design ideas on the survey help you weigh each one against the house walls and window frames before deciding.
The part you never see matters most. Each slab sits on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base, with a gentle fall so rainwater runs off instead of sitting against the house. That preparation is what keeps a new patio flat and sound through a wet Hertfordshire winter.




What a New Patio Includes
From marking out to the last pointed joint, a new patio involves every layer between bare soil and finished stone. A typical installation includes the following stages and materials.
- Marking out the shape and checking it against the house
- Removing turf, topsoil or an old patio to the right depth
- A Type 1 sub-base laid in layers and compacted
- Slabs bedded on mortar with a fall away from the walls
- Keeping the finished level below the damp-proof course
- Clean cuts around corners, manhole covers and curves
- Joints pointed with a weather-resistant mortar or grout
- Waste removed and the new patio washed down
Why Us for Your New Patio
A patio should look right from the kitchen window and feel solid underfoot every time you step out. The layout, the stone and the base are agreed with you before any slab goes down.
