Patio Installations

Beautiful, hard-wearing patios for every garden

At ADC Landscape and Garden Maintenance Contractors, we design and install patios that make your garden more usable all year round. From a simple seating area outside the back door to a full entertaining space with paths, steps and lighting, we create patios that look great and are built to last.

Whether you want a sleek porcelain patio, a warm and natural sandstone terrace or classic block paving, we’ll help you choose the right option for your home and budget.

Designed around how you use your garden

Every patio is tailored to you and your space. We can create:

  • Family dining areas and BBQ spaces
  • Sun terraces and lounge areas
  • Paths linking doors, sheds and garden buildings
  • Patios around hot tubs and garden rooms
  • Low-maintenance areas to replace tired lawns or old paving

We’ll advise on the best size, shape and layout so your patio feels like a natural extension of your home.

Our patio installation process

A properly built patio starts below ground. Our typical installation includes:

Site visit & design
measuring up, discussing levels, access and how you want to use the space
Groundworks & excavation
removing turf/old paving, digging down to the correct depth.
Sub-base installation
compacted Type 1 or similar to give a solid, long-lasting foundation.
Setting falls & drainage
ensuring water runs away from the house and doesn’t pool on the surface.
Laying the paving
laid on a full mortar bed or suitable system for the chosen material.
Pointing / jointing
using traditional mortar or modern jointing compounds for a tidy, durable finish.
Clean down & handover
leaving everything neat, safe and ready to use.

Porcelain patios

Modern, low-maintenance and clean

Porcelain paving is one of the most popular choices for contemporary gardens:

  • Crisp, modern look – consistent colour and sharp edges for a high-end finish.
  • Low maintenance – very dense and non-porous, so it resists staining and algae build-up.
  • Hard-wearing – scratch-resistant and designed to cope with UK weather.
  • Wide range of styles – from concrete and stone effects to wood-look planks.

Porcelain works brilliantly around garden buildings, outdoor kitchens and hot tubs, giving a smart, modern feel that’s easy to keep clean.

Sandstone patios

Natural character and warmth

Sandstone, often called Indian sandstone, is ideal if you want a more traditional, natural look:

  • Unique variations – every slab has its own tones and patterning.
  • Warm, natural colours – from soft creams and beiges through to richer browns and greys.
  • Ideal for older properties – blends beautifully with brickwork, lawns and planting.

We carefully mix and lay the slabs to balance colours across the patio and can seal the surface if you’d like extra protection and easier cleaning.

Block paving patios

Flexible, practical and classic

Block paving isn’t just for driveways – it can make a fantastic patio and path option too:

  • Strong and versatile – suitable for patios, paths, seating areas and light vehicle use.
  • Patterns and borders – herringbone, stretcher bond, circles and contrasting borders.
  • Easy to repair – individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if needed.

Block paving is a great choice where you want your patio and driveway to tie together, or where curves and shaped edges are part of the design.
