Make the space work for you
Before setting out a patio in Wokingham, decide whether it needs to work mainly for dining, relaxed seating, or both. Mark the likely table, chairs, loungers or sofa with string, pots or cardboard, then check that chairs can pull back and people can pass without squeezing. Keep the route from the back door to the lawn clear, especially when the space is in use, and work around existing planting, steps, shed access or other garden features you want to keep.
- Dining: allow room to sit down, push chairs back and carry food through safely.
- Relaxing: test sightlines, shade and enough side space for drinks or footstools.
- Movement: walk your marked route several times with doors and chairs open.
Choosing the finish
Choosing patio paving is largely a visual decision. Look at paving colour against your house and garden, then compare examples you like in different lights. Slab size can make the area feel calmer or busier, especially when matched to the shape of the patio. Surface texture changes how the paving catches light, while the laying pattern and edging help define the finished outline.
- Which paving colour sits best with your house and planting?
- Do larger or smaller slabs suit the patio shape?
- Would a simple edge make the patio feel more defined?
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
Tell us what you want the finished space to do. 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.
Understanding the scope and cost
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.
Compare the work included as well as the price 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 the proposed outline on the ground, set out your table and chairs, then pull the chairs back and walk round them to test the usable space.
What should I bring to the discussion if I have not chosen a paving style? Bring photos of patios you like, even if no paving is chosen. They help show colours, slab sizes and the overall look you prefer.
Can the design take an existing tree bed or garden feature into account? Yes. The layout can work around it, leave it open or make it a focal point. We can discuss its position relative to the layout, access and seating.
