Patios in Godalming
Our team of experts specialises in creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces. Whether you want a patio for entertaining guests or a tranquil area for relaxation, we’ve got you covered.
We can help you choose the perfect style, patterns, colours and materials to complement your property’s existing aesthetics and meet your unique needs — riven sandstone for a traditional garden, crisp clay pavers to match a brick house, or block paving to tie a patio in with the driveway.
Good patios are built from the ground up: the area is dug out to the right depth, a firm base is compacted, and the paving is bedded with a fall that carries rain away from the house. Where a garden slopes we can raise the patio behind a brick retaining wall, with steps down to the lawn.

Our process
From First Call to Finished Drive
Five clear stages, so you always know what’s happening next and when.
Talk it through
Ring us or request a callback. We’ll ask a few questions about the space and what you have in mind.
Measure & quote
A free visit to measure up, check levels and access, and show you material options, then a written quote.
Dig out & base
The old surface comes up, spoil is taken away, and a compacted sub-base is built to suit the ground.
Lay & edge
Blocks, slabs or tarmac go down with edging, drainage and any borders or features you’ve chosen.
Tidy & handover
Joints finished, the site cleared and swept, and a walk-round with you before we leave.
Patio questions
Planning a Patio in Godalming?
Which patio materials do you lay?
Sandstone paving slabs, clay pavers, block paving and crazy paving are all popular with our Godalming customers, and we can mix them, for example a slab patio with a clay or block border. We bring samples so you can see colours and textures against your house and garden.
Can you build a patio in a sloping garden?
Yes. Plenty of gardens around Godalming fall away from the house or rise up behind it. We level the area with a raised or cut-in patio, retaining walls where needed and steps to link the different heights.
How do you stop water sitting on a new patio?
Every patio is laid with a gentle fall away from the building so rain runs off to a lawn, border or drain, and it is kept a safe distance below the damp-proof course. Joints are properly filled so water does not wash out the bedding underneath.
Does a back-garden patio need planning permission?
Normally not. Extra controls apply if any part is raised more than 30cm above the ground, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area — in those cases it is worth checking with Waverley Borough Council first.

See every reviewOur big patio was lifted, the slabs cleaned and repaired, then relaid with resin-bonded joints. Miles explained each stage clearly beforehand, and the three-man team worked hard every day. Far better than I had hoped.
They did exactly what we asked — the new drive plus a repair to our fence — always turned up on time, stayed courteous throughout, and still finished early despite some truly miserable weather.
From the first site meeting about our shared drive to the final clean-up, Miles and the crew were brilliant. Work began when promised and the whole job was done in five days.
