Hard Landscaping

Patios, paving and walls built to last

Hard landscaping across Blackfield, Southampton and the surrounding area. Properly dug out, properly based and properly finished, because the parts you do not see are what stop a patio sinking in two winters.

How the job runs

How we approach hard landscaping

Four stages, in this order, because running them out of order is what causes finished work to be partly undone later.

  1. The base done properly

    Dug out to the right depth and built up on a compacted sub-base, because a slab laid on soft ground is the one that lifts and rocks within a year.

  2. Levels and falls set right

    Surfaces laid to fall away from the house and drain where they should, so you are not left with standing water after every shower.

  3. Clean, square finishes

    Cuts, edges and jointing done neatly, so paving, steps and walls line up and the detail holds up close to.

  4. Cleared up at the end

    Spoil and offcuts taken away, the area swept, and the site handed back usable rather than buried in rubble.

FAQ

Hard Landscaping: common questions

The questions people ask most before booking hard landscaping.

Yes. We set the levels so surfaces fall away from the building and water runs off where it should, and add drainage where the ground needs it, so you are not left with puddles across the wetter months.
