Make the space work for you
Before fixing the patio size in Windsor, Berkshire, picture the space in everyday use. Decide whether it is mainly for dining, relaxing, or both, then mark the area on the ground so you can see the footprint. Allow room to pull chairs back, walk round a table, and move from the back door to the lawn without squeezing past furniture. Keep existing garden features in mind, such as beds, trees or sheds, so the patio feels connected rather than blocking the garden.
- Set out your largest table, chairs or sofa with string, pots or chalk.
- Walk from the back door to the lawn while someone is seated.
- Adjust the marked area today until sitting, serving and passing feel natural.
Explore the available options
When choosing patio paving, start with paving colour against your house and garden. A close-toned colour can feel calm, while a stronger contrast can make the patio stand out. Slab size also changes the look: larger slabs can make a simple layout feel cleaner, while smaller slabs can bring more detail to tighter shapes. Think about surface texture too, as a smoother finish gives a neater look and a more textured finish adds visual depth. Laying pattern can keep the space simple or add movement, depending on how busy you want it to feel. Compare examples you like, then use edging to give the patio a clear, finished outline.
What needs checking at your property
During the site visit, we look at the existing surface, garden access and how the proposed patio meets the house, lawn and paths. Levels and rainwater flow are considered together with the design, so the preparation and any drainage work can be included in the proposed scope.
From enquiry to quotation
Start with a conversation about what you want to change. A few photographs and your postcode help us understand the project.
We can arrange a site visit to discuss the layout, finish and practical requirements. You receive a free, no-obligation written quotation for the proposed work. If you decide to proceed, we agree the next steps and carry out the work to the agreed scope.
What affects the quotation?
The quotation reflects the work needed at your property: area, layout, paving choice, existing ground, preparation, access, edges, steps and drainage work. The site visit helps us understand these details.
Review what is included in the written quotation and ask about anything that is unclear before deciding.
Before you plan the work
How can I check whether a proposed patio is large enough for my table and chairs? Mark out the proposed size with string or chalk, place the furniture within it, then pull chairs back and walk around them to see whether the space feels comfortable.
What should I bring to the discussion if I have not chosen a paving style? Bring photos or saved images you like, even for colour, joint style or overall feel, so we can discuss practical options around your preferences.
Can the design take an existing tree bed or garden feature into account? Yes, tell us what you want to keep and how you use the area. We can discuss its position relative to the layout, access and seating.
