Patios for homes in Rossington
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 Rossington
Rossington sits south-east of Doncaster and was built substantially as a colliery village, which shows clearly in the housing — planned rows of brick terraces and semis on regular plots, laid out with the generous front and rear gardens typical of purpose-built pit housing, alongside a considerable amount of newer development that has expanded the village. Those regular plots are straightforward to work with and often larger than they first appear: enough frontage for a full driveway with a turning area, and rear gardens long enough to split into a patio near the house and a separate lawn or artificial grass area beyond. The ground here is generally flatter than the Derbyshire towns to the west, so falls and drainage need setting out deliberately rather than relying on any natural gradient.
