Patios for homes in North Wingfield
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 North Wingfield
North Wingfield is a village south-east of Chesterfield with a medieval church at its core and substantial colliery-era and later housing around it, sitting on the rolling ground typical of this part of north-east Derbyshire. That undulating landscape is the recurring feature in the work here — rear gardens that rise or fall away from the house are common rather than unusual, so retaining walls, steps and terracing are routinely what makes a garden properly usable rather than an optional extra on top of the paving. The older housing sits on regular plots with reasonable frontages, and replacing worn concrete or gravel with block paving or resin, with the levels and falls reset correctly as part of the job, is the most frequent request.
