A place the whole family can use
A well-laid patio brings the garden back into daily use.

A sloping lawn, old uneven slabs, or a space that turns to mud in the winter stops you using the garden. You want a flat, clean area where you can put a table, pull up a chair, and let the children play safely, but the current layout makes it difficult.

A well-laid patio brings the garden back into daily use. It gives you a stable, reliable surface for dining, hosting, or simply sitting with a coffee. When the ground is prepared properly and the paving is laid flat, the outside becomes a practical extension of your living space.

The foundation of the garden

We lay natural stone and porcelain paving that suits your upkeep preferences, but the most important work happens underneath.

  • Levels and drainageWe manage the slopes, install the right drainage, and ensure rainwater flows exactly where it should.
  • Ground preparationA proper base so the paving stays flat and stable for years.
  • The layoutPatios, paths, and steps that connect the different parts of the garden logically.
  • The finishing touchesRetaining walls, planters, and planting that soften the edges and bring the space to life.

Built properly so it lasts

The visible patio relies entirely on the groundworks beneath it.

Green-Builds was founded by Marlo Barrett, who brings over 13 years' experience across construction, new-build homes, high-quality renovations and landscaping. We do not cut corners on the base, and we provide a quotation that covers the whole job, so you know exactly what the finished surface will cost. One point of contact, start to finish.

Planning your patio

The questions people ask first.

What affects the cost of a new patio?

The choice of paving material matters, but the amount of ground preparation, levelling, and waste removal required often drives the cost.

Can we add a pergola or a cooking area later?

Yes. We can design the patio to accommodate future additions, or build the cover and the BBQ area at the same time.
