GHS Landscapes & Driveways Ltd installs patios across Boston, Sleaford, Lincoln, Grantham, Newark, Spalding, Nottingham and Stamford. With over 15 years of experience in paving and landscaping, we create outdoor areas designed for dining, entertaining, relaxing and everyday family use.

Patios Designed Around Your Garden: Every outdoor space is different. We consider the size and shape of your garden, access, existing levels, doors, pathways and how you want to use the finished patio before recommending a suitable layout. The aim is to create an area that feels like a natural extension of your home rather than an isolated paved section.

Choice of Paving Materials: Different paving materials create very different results. We install Indian sandstone, porcelain paving and riven slabs, giving you options ranging from natural and traditional finishes to clean, contemporary designs. Our team can help you compare colours, textures, formats and laying styles to find the right fit for your property.

Groundwork & Drainage: A long-lasting patio depends on correct preparation below the paving. We prepare the area carefully, establish appropriate levels and install a suitable base and laying system for the chosen material. Falls and drainage are considered so that rainwater is directed appropriately rather than being allowed to collect across the finished patio.

Patios, Paths & Landscaping: Your patio can be integrated with pathways, steps, borders and wider landscaping to create a more complete outdoor space. Using complementary materials and carefully planned transitions helps connect the patio with your garden, driveway and property.

Indian sandstone patios remain a popular choice for homeowners looking for the character and variation of natural stone. Each slab has its own colour, tone and surface markings, giving the finished patio a more individual appearance than a completely uniform manufactured paving product.

Indian sandstone is available in a range of natural colour combinations, including warmer browns and buffs as well as greys and mixed tones. Because it is a natural material, variation between individual slabs is part of its appearance and can be used to create patios with plenty of depth and character.

Distinctive Features:

1. Natural Appearance: Each piece of sandstone has its own variation in colour, texture and markings, helping create a patio with a traditional and individual finish.
2. Hard-Wearing Paving: When suitable stone is installed correctly on a properly prepared base, sandstone can provide a durable surface for regularly used patio and garden areas.
3. Versatile Design: Indian sandstone works well for patios, pathways, steps and landscaped areas and can complement both traditional and contemporary properties.
4. Ongoing Care: Like all external paving, sandstone benefits from routine cleaning and maintenance. Suitable cleaning products should be used to avoid damaging or discolouring the natural stone.

Our Indian Sandstone Patio Installation:

1. Paving Selection: We can help you choose a sandstone colour and style that complements your property and the surrounding garden.
2. Patio Design: The size, shape, paving layout and relationship with paths, steps and borders are planned around your available outdoor space.
3. Professional Installation: The ground is prepared and the paving installed carefully with attention to levels, joints, drainage and the overall finished appearance.
4. Finishing Details: Edging, borders and adjoining landscaping can be incorporated to give the completed patio a more coordinated finish.

Porcelain patios are an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a clean, modern and consistent finish. Outdoor porcelain paving is dense and has very low water absorption, making it particularly well suited to external paving when the correct product and installation method are used.

Porcelain is available in a wide range of colours, sizes and surface designs, including finishes inspired by natural stone. This makes it possible to create anything from a minimal contemporary patio to a more traditional-looking outdoor area while maintaining the precise appearance associated with porcelain paving.

Installation is particularly important with porcelain. The paving needs a suitable base, appropriate falls and a strong bond to the laying bed. We prepare the area carefully and install the paving using methods suited to external porcelain, paying close attention to alignment, joints, levels and drainage.

Porcelain is straightforward to maintain, but no outdoor paving is completely maintenance-free. Regular sweeping and appropriate cleaning will help keep the surface looking its best, particularly in shaded areas where organic growth and general dirt can accumulate.

If you are considering a porcelain patio, GHS Landscapes & Driveways Ltd can help you choose a style and layout that complements your home and provides a practical outdoor space for everyday use.

Riven paving slabs are a strong option for patios and pathways where a more textured, traditional appearance is preferred. The uneven surface character gives the paving greater visual variation than a smooth contemporary slab and works particularly well in established gardens and traditional outdoor spaces.

Riven paving is available in different colours, sizes and materials, allowing the finished patio to be coordinated with brickwork, garden walls, planting and other existing features around your property.

As with any patio installation, the quality of the preparation beneath the paving is essential. We establish the appropriate levels, prepare the base and lay the slabs carefully to create a stable surface with consistent joints and suitable drainage.

The layout can also incorporate steps, pathways, borders and adjoining landscaped areas. This makes riven paving a versatile option where you want the patio to feel integrated with the wider garden rather than simply creating one paved rectangle.
