Why Choose Our Professional Patios and Driveways?
Driveways built for Stroud’s steep hills
We all know Stroud isn’t exactly flat, is it? Dealing with gradients requires more than just a bit of gravel. We specialise in driveways that actually stay put. Whether you’re after the classic look of block paving, the sleek finish of resin-bound gravel, or a simple, hard-wearing tarmac surface, we focus on the foundations. You’ve probably seen driveways that start to sink or crack after a couple of winters—that’s usually because the sub-base wasn’t up to scratch. We use high-quality MOT Type 1 stone and proper concrete haunching to ensure your car stays on the drive, not in a dip.
Create your perfect outdoor sanctuary
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that a good garden is a lifesaver. We don't just 'lay slabs'; we create outdoor rooms. Imagine opening your bi-fold doors onto a seamless porcelain patio that’s perfectly level with your kitchen floor. Or maybe you prefer the natural, warm tones of Indian Sandstone to match a traditional Cotswold stone wall? From small sun traps to large multi-level terraces, we handle the design and the build, ensuring every bit of drainage is hidden but effective. If you want something low-maintenance, there are plenty of options, like vitrified porcelain that stays looking fresh with a quick jet wash.
Master the hidden details
Most of the work we do is actually underground. It’s not the glamorous part, but it’s what makes a patio last twenty years instead of two. In Gloucestershire, we have to be careful with water runoff. We plan for SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems), using permeable paving and Aco drains to keep your property compliant with local regulations. No one wants a puddle sitting against their house wall every time we get a typical Stroud downpour, so we make sure the 'fall' and gradient are spot on from day one. We take care of all the site clearance and muck-away, so you aren't left with a mountain of soil on your lawn.
Choose builders for your landscaping
Why hire a building company for a garden project? Well, we bring a different level of structural precision. As builders and carpenters, we work to millimetre-accurate measurements and look after structural integrity. We treat your new driveway or garden path with the same care we’d treat a home extension or a loft conversion. We won’t leave you with a mess, and we certainly won’t disappear halfway through the job. You'll get a clear, itemised quote with no hidden 'surprises' at the end.
Serving Stroud and the Five Valleys
We’re lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, and we love working on homes across the Stroud district. From the characterful stone cottages in Nailsworth and Painswick to the modern family homes in Stonehouse and the Victorian terraces in Ebley, we'll choose materials to suit your home. We’re based in Cheltenham and cover Stroud and nearby villages, including Bisley, Bussage and Randwick. If you’re ready to stop dreaming about that new patio and start building it, why not give us a shout? We’d be happy to pop over, have a look at your space, and provide a site survey.
