Patios & Terraces Crawley, Brighton & Horsham
Porcelain, natural stone and Indian sandstone patios, designed around how you actually use your garden — not just laid in a square by the back door.
Porcelain, Natural Stone & Indian Sandstone
Porcelain patios have become the most requested option for new gardens — low maintenance, frost-resistant and available in large-format slabs for a clean, modern look. Natural stone and Indian sandstone remain popular for period properties, particularly around Horsham and the surrounding villages.
Whatever the material, the process underneath is the same: proper excavation, a compacted sub-base, and falls built in so water runs away from the house rather than pooling against the threshold.
Porcelain
Frost-proof, stain-resistant, low maintenance — the most popular choice for new patios and terraces.
Natural Stone
Sandstone, limestone and granite options for a period-appropriate finish on older properties.
Indian Sandstone
A cost-effective, textured natural stone option available in a wide range of colours and finishes. Watch a recent installation above.
A Few Completed Gardens
Steps, Raised Beds & Multi-Level Patios
Where a garden slopes or steps down from the house, we build in proper retaining edges, sleeper-lined steps and drainage — not just a flat slab that ignores the gradient.
This is a common request on older properties where the original patio was laid flat against a sloped garden. We can rework the levels properly, add planting borders alongside steps, and tie the whole area back into the driveway or lawn.
Common Questions
What's the most low-maintenance patio material?
Porcelain is the easiest to keep clean — it's non-porous, so it doesn't stain or grow algae as readily as natural stone, and doesn't need periodic sealing.
Can you lay a patio on top of an old concrete slab?
Sometimes, if the existing base is sound and level, though we'll usually recommend checking drainage falls first since old concrete patios were often laid flat rather than sloped away from the house.
Do you offer raised or multi-level patios?
Yes — we can build retaining edges and steps to create level changes where a garden slopes, rather than everything sitting on a single flat pour.
How long does a patio take to lay?
Most residential patios take 2–4 days depending on size, material and whether steps or retaining walls are involved.
