What to Expect During a Patio Installation
Here at Laleham Landscapes, we recognise that the installation of patios takes place at our customers’ homes, so we strive to minimise disruption wherever possible. We achieve this by ensuring the planning and design stage produces a clear image of what the finished patio will look like. What’s more, site inspections allow us to identify the least disruptive and safest access routes.
Whether our clients in Ashford, Staines or beyond choose concrete, brick, flagstone, pavers, tile, cut stone or Indian sandstone patios, we follow the same basic steps during the installation process.
- Site Preparation – After marking out the area intended for the patio, we dig to an approximate depth of 150mm. Having assessed the soil for weak spots, our personnel then lay and compact a sub-base to a maximum depth of 100mm. For patios placed immediately beside a house, we ensure that the final surface will rest 150mm below the damp proof course.
- Laying Bedding Mortar – Not only does bedding mortar play a vital role as a land stabiliser, it also inhibits the growth of weeds. A mix of one-part cement and five-parts sharp sand, we lay this this bed of mortar at sites in Ashford, Staines and across the South East to a maximum depth of 50mm.
- Laying Patio Materials – From flagstone to Indian sandstone patios, our team lays all patio materials in perfect alignment, leaving a 10mm gap between slabs for joint lines. If laid directly beside a house, we ensure the patio slopes gently away from the wall for superior drainage.
- Wait for 24 Hours – At this point, the patio needs to set. It is vitally important that homeowners in Ashford, Staines and the neighbouring areas do not step on the paving stones during this period.
- Filling Joint Lines – When the patio has set, our team goes about filling in the joint lines. Customers can choose from a range of products including dry sand or patio grout. Whichever option we use, our team ensures a smooth, neat finish across the entire surface, leaving homeowners with a stunning new patio.
