Patio Installation In Essex

Here are some things to consider when choosing a patio:

Budget

The materials you want and the finishing details will influence the price as well of course will the size of the patio. Generally speaking we work on an installation price in m2 of coverage. Then details such as edging, steps, pergola's and retaining walls will have an additional impact.

Location

The location of your patio will be determined by access, where the sun shines, privacy and the list goes on. Naturally a pathway can be built if required, otherwise your lawn will bear the brunt of endless trip to and fro. It's a good idea to stake out the location and observe how elements such as sunshine and leaves will affect it.

Installation Disruption

Building a patio means getting adequate access and the inevitable disruption that installing a patio will cause. Naturally every effort will be made to ensure your garden is as undisturbed as possible, but if there are any issues we shall advise you at all times.

Lighting

If your patio will be adjacent to your property, wall mounted lighting can be can obvious choice. However, additional permanent outdoor lighting may be required. If this is mains powered, we will need to consider cabling which should be professionally connected and commissioned.

Underground Utilities

Prior to installing your patio, be aware of any underground utilities that include gas, electricity and drainage. Any access to these once under your patio will cause disruption.
