FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our paving, patio, and hard landscaping services in Carlisle

What is the best material for a new patio in Carlisle?

+

The choice usually comes down to look and maintenance. Porcelain is very popular right now because it is almost waterproof, which means it doesn't get as slippery with algae during our wet Cumbrian winters. Sandstone offers a beautiful, natural look with unique patterns in every slab. We can chat through the pros and cons of both when we visit for your quote.

Do I need to worry about drainage for my new driveway or patio?

+

Yes, absolutely. In the UK, there are strict rules about where rainwater goes. You can't just let it run onto the public road. We design our patios and driveways with the correct falls and, if needed, install soakaways or ACO drains to keep everything legal and your garden dry.

Can you fix a patio that has started to sink or hold water?

+

We often see patios where the groundwork wasn't done right the first time. Depending on the damage, we can sometimes lift the existing slabs, fix the sub-base and drainage issues, and relay them. If the slabs are broken, we might suggest a full replacement to make sure the problem doesn't come back.

How long does it take to install a new block paving driveway?

+

Every job is different, but a standard driveway usually takes about one to two weeks. This includes digging out the old surface, putting in a solid stone base, and then laying the blocks. We always aim to keep the disruption to your daily routine as low as possible.

Are your landscaping services available for commercial properties in Cumbria?

+

Yes, we work with both homeowners and commercial clients. We handle everything from office car parks and public pathways to large-scale groundwork for new developments. Being Safe Contractor Approved means we meet the high safety standards required for commercial and municipal sites.
