Quality Materials and Local Craftsmanship
A successful patio requires more than just laying stone. It requires a deep understanding of structural engineering and material science. In Backwell, we prioritize materials that withstand the British climate.
Porcelain paving is a popular choice because it is non-porous and slip-resistant. For more traditional properties, we often recommend natural stone which offers a timeless aesthetic. Regardless of the material, our focus remains on precision, ensuring every joint is pointed correctly and every level is perfectly graded for drainage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle sloped gardens? We use terracing. By building retaining walls, we “step” the garden into flat sections. This stops soil erosion and makes previously unusable slopes perfect for patios.
Will my new patio have proper drainage? Yes. We install a permeable sub-base and, where necessary, integrated drainage channels. This ensures rainwater moves away from your property foundations and prevents standing water.
What is the best material for a low-maintenance patio? Vitrified porcelain is the best option for low maintenance. It does not absorb moisture, meaning it is resistant to moss, algae, and frost damage.
Do I need to hire a separate contractor for brickwork? No. Lees Builders are expert bricklayers. We handle the entire project, from the structural retaining walls and steps to the final paving.
How long does a garden extension project take? Most projects in the North Somerset area take between 7 to 14 days, depending on the size of the area and the amount of excavation required.
