Gardens and grounds can be turned into social spaces by the talented team at A1 Landscapes Ltd. Patios are hard surfacing installations, laid in the customer’s preferred choice of material, and can be used to add a dedicated area for relaxation or entertaining. Come summer, you will be able to use your new patio to revel in a cool drink and a good book, or to enjoy the company of your family and friends.
Our landscaping company installs garden patios in the areas below:
Aldershot | Basingstoke | Bracknell | Farnborough | Fleet | Hook
We also cover all of Hampshire, but can offer services in Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex too. Please contact us to arrange a quotation.
The cost of having patios laid will vary based on size or the choice of materials but, should you ever decide to sell the property in the future, having an outdoor social space provides a return on initial investment because many buyers will much prefer a home with a patio.
Materials
A1 Landscapes Ltd can lay patios using traditional concrete slabs or in materials such as block paving or natural stone. The choice often depends on a customer’s budget. Concrete can be more affordable, but a high-end material will usually have a superior aesthetic, a longer expected lifespan, and a much wider range of design permutations.
We can advise you on materials for patios during a consultation and, if you would like to see examples of our previous work in the local area, this can be arranged on a date, and at a time, to suit you.
Groundworks and Drainage
Prior to laying patios, we prepare the land first. A1 Landscapes Ltd is able to clear the working area of scrub and vegetation, excavate in bulk, and install a drainage system or a soakaway if needed. The bulk excavation side of the job leaves a specific depth for the sub-base that will provide the perfect foundation for the material used.
We excel in all areas of groundworks, using the skills of landscape gardeners with a proud reputation in and around the Hampshire area.
The Sub-Base
Think of sub-bases as the foundations of patios. Aggregates and sand are laid into the excavated area alongside edges and restraints that match the chosen material. A layered sub-base installation will give a patio a stable surface and permeable aggregates help in dispersing surface water into the installed drainage channel or the soakaway.
All sub-bases are then compacted prior to installation.
Installation
Based on the materials chosen for patios, we lay the top surface as a series of pavers complete with mortar pointing or as a continuous installation if you have selected a poured material like concrete. This phase of the installation requires additional care because the top surface will be the element that guides the job’s aesthetics.
All pavers are pointed to keep surfaces watertight and we can apply a protective sealant to help keep installations in good condition.
A1 Landscapes Ltd lays patios in Aldershot, Basingstoke, Bracknell, Farnborough, Fleet, Hook and the surrounding areas to an exacting standard, improving form and function within a garden while adding to its curb appeal. You benefit from an inspiring social space that can be enjoyed during the late spring and the warmer summer months.
If you are looking for a full outdoor transformation, we can erect fencing and decking to complement garden patios. Furthermore, our landscaping company offers a full supporting range of installation services to include the design and construction of new driveways.
