Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for a patio? The “best” material depends on your budget, style preference, and required durability. Natural Stone (like Sandstone) offers unique beauty but requires sealing. Porcelain Paving is extremely durable and requires minimal maintenance. Concrete Slabs are a cost-effective and versatile choice. We can guide you through the options during the consultation.
How do you prevent weeds from growing in the gaps? We minimise weed growth by using modern jointing compounds, such as resin-based or polymeric sand. These products harden to form a tough, water-resistant joint, making it difficult for seeds to germinate compared to traditional kiln-dried sand.
How long will a paved area last? When installed correctly by professionals like Saxon Landscape, quality paving can last for 20 years or more. Proper groundwork and maintenance (like occasional cleaning) are key to achieving maximum lifespan.
Does a paved patio require maintenance? Yes, minimal maintenance is required. We recommend regular sweeping to remove debris and occasional cleaning with a stiff brush and mild detergent. Pressure washing is fine, but should be done carefully to avoid displacing the jointing material.
Can you match the paving to my existing driveway? Absolutely. We specialise in a variety of block paving and slab styles, and can often source materials that seamlessly match or complement your existing hard landscaping features.
