Patios for homes in Carlton in Lindrick
A patio is where the garden actually gets used, so it is worth getting the size and position right before a single slab goes down. We look at where the sun sits through the day, how the space runs off the back door, and whether you want one large area or a couple of smaller ones linked by paths and steps. Then we build it properly — excavated, a compacted base, laid on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, with the falls set so surface water runs away from the house rather than sitting in the middle of the slabs. Sandstone, porcelain, and matching steps, paths and edging so the whole thing reads as one piece of work.
Working in Carlton in Lindrick
Carlton in Lindrick sits just north of Worksop and is really two settlements grown together — the older village core around the church and mill, and the substantial post-war and later housing that expanded it northward toward Costhorpe and Langold. The older part has stone properties, mature boundaries and established gardens where natural stone paving and matched walling are the natural fit. The newer housing gives you regular plots with reasonable frontages and rectangular rear gardens, which are straightforward to plan properly: a patio sized to the back of the house, artificial grass or lawn beyond it, and clean edging between the two so the boundary between surfaces stays sharp. The village sits on the limestone belt, so excavation depths are assessed rather than assumed.
