What's Included

Why groundwork matters more than the paving itself

In Ireland's wet climate, a patio is only as good as what's underneath it. Poor ground preparation is the single biggest cause of cracked, sunken or shifting patios — so we treat excavation and sub-base work as the most important part of the job, not a step to rush through.

Site Excavation

The area is properly dug out to the right depth before anything is laid, not built up over existing ground.

Levelled, Compacted Sub-Base & Drainage

A properly compacted stone sub-base gives the finished patio a stable foundation, laid with a slight fall away from the house so water runs off rather than pooling.

FAQ

Patio questions

Yes. Every patio starts with proper site excavation followed by a levelled, compacted stone sub-base laid with a slight fall away from the house so water drains off rather than pooling — the step that most affects how long a patio lasts in Ireland's wet climate. We don't lay paving straight onto unprepared ground.

It depends on the size of the area, ground conditions, and the materials chosen, so we don't quote a fixed figure online. Request a free, no-obligation written quote and we'll confirm an exact price after assessing your garden.

Timeframe depends on the size of the job and access to your garden. We'll confirm a schedule at the quote stage once we've seen the space.

Patios can generally go in any time from spring through autumn, avoiding hard frost, which can affect how the sub-base and any jointing materials settle. We'll advise on timing as part of your quote.
