Patios

A.F.S. Fencing and Groundworks Ltd can provide a wide range and choice of colors, sizes and materials of construction for slabs used in the construction of patios.  Pictured below are just a few of the choices available as well as examples of projects we have worked on recently.

As with the construction of driveways, we put a considerable effort into preparing the base for the slabs so that the finished product meets our customers expectations and is both of high quality and robust.  This requires the soil to be dug out to sufficient depth (up to 8inches) followed by application of weedkiller and an impermeable membrane to prevent the return of weeds in the future.  We will also lay crushed material such as granite or limestone to sufficient depth to provide a solid base before finally laying the slabs on a morter bed and tamping down to leave a "level" to the fall surface that allows rainwater to drain and avoids puddles forming.

The amount of work required to achieve these objectives will depend on the condition of the soil underneath and the weight the patio will be required to carry.  We will discuss this with the client to ensure the finished product is both what is required and looks great.
