Patio Installations in Somerset
A well-built patio turns a garden into another room of the house. We install porcelain, Indian sandstone, traditional slab and resin bound patios — all on properly prepared bases with correct falls, so they stay flat, dry and beautiful. Built with proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints across Somerset.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Proper groundwork before the finish
A great driveway starts underneath the surface. For Somerset homes, we check levels, drainage, edges, existing cracks and whether the current base is sound enough for an overlay. If it needs a full dig-out, we'll explain why before you spend a penny.

Patios in Somerset - common questions
Porcelain or Indian sandstone — which is better?
Porcelain is more consistent, stain-resistant and almost maintenance-free, but costs more to buy and cut. Sandstone has natural warmth and character at a lower material cost, but benefits from sealing and seasonal cleaning. Neither is 'better' — it depends on your garden, house style and how much upkeep you want.
Why do patios laid by others rock or come loose?
Usually spot-bedding — dabs of mortar under each corner instead of a full bed. Water gets underneath, freezes, and the slab works loose. We lay on full mortar beds with primer on the slab back, which is the correct method.
Can you build steps and retaining edges too?
Yes — steps, edging, low walls and paths are all part of what we do, and designing them together is how a patio ends up looking like one finished space rather than a slab rectangle.
How much does a patio cost?
It depends on size, material, access and groundworks, so we don't quote blind figures. Send photos and rough sizes on WhatsApp for a quick steer, or book a free visit for an exact written quote.
Do you install patios across Somerset?
Yes. We cover Somerset from our Bridgwater base and quote honestly before any work starts. Send a few photos on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the best next step.
Can you tell from photos whether this needs an overlay or full dig-out?
Often we can give a useful steer from photos, especially if you include close-ups of cracks, levels, drains and edges. We still check the base, levels and drainage on site before giving a final written quote.
