A patio is often the most-used part of a garden: somewhere to eat, sit and enjoy the evening. It's also where poor workmanship shows fastest: sinking slabs, rocking stones and puddles that never drain.
Every patio we lay includes full ground preparation: excavation, a compacted sub-base, drainage and the final surface. That groundwork is what you're really paying for, because it decides whether the patio still looks right in five years.
We work in natural stone, porcelain, block paving and slabs, and we also re-grout and refresh existing patios that have seen better days.
Without a compacted sub-base, slabs settle unevenly, creating trip hazards and gaps.
A patio laid dead flat or towards the house holds water, turns green and can cause damp.
Failing or missing grout lets weeds take hold and lets water wash out the bedding.
Fixing a badly laid patio usually means lifting the whole thing and starting again.
We come out, walk the garden with you and look at access, levels, ground conditions and drainage.
We explain what the job involves and how long it will take, then put a detailed quote in writing.
Clearing, digging out, levelling and drainage. Getting this right is what makes the finished work last.

“Harry and Matt did another excellent job for us, re-grouting our big patio and creating a new gravel bed at the front of the house… They are a pleasure to deal with, professional and incredibly helpful.”
Natural stone gives a characterful, traditional look that suits Cornish properties. Porcelain is dense, consistent and easy to keep clean. Block paving is hard-wearing and works well where patios meet paths or driveways. Concrete slabs offer a practical, budget-conscious finish. We'll talk through how each suits your garden's use and exposure.
We excavate to the right depth, lay and compact a sub-base, plan drainage and set falls so water runs off, then bed and lay the surface and finish the joints. Skipping any of these steps is the most common reason patios fail.
On a slope, a patio usually needs to be cut in or built up, with a retaining wall holding the level. We can combine patios with walls and steps to create usable terraces on hillside gardens.
Not every patio needs replacing. Where the base is sound, re-grouting can restore the look and stop weeds and water getting in. We've re-grouted large patios for repeat customers.
We're based in Truro and carry out patio installation across Cornwall: Patios Truro, Patios Falmouth, Patios Penryn, Patios Redruth, Patios Camborne, Patios St Austell, Patios Newquay, Patios St Agnes, Patios Perranporth.
Before choosing materials, think about who will use the garden and when. A space for summer dining needs different sizing, shelter and access from a low-maintenance front garden or a holiday let that needs to look smart between guests. Tell us how you live and we'll shape the patio installation around it.
Slope, soil, existing walls, hedges and drainage all affect what's possible and what it costs. In Cornwall, many gardens are steep, rocky or exposed to the coast. We assess all of this on our first visit so your quote reflects the real job: not a best-case guess that changes once work starts.
Patios rarely sits in isolation. It meets lawns, beds, boundaries, paths and steps. Planning these together avoids the cost of reworking levels or access later, and gives you a garden that feels designed rather than added to piece by piece.
Across 13 five-star Google reviews, the same themes come up again and again: punctuality, quick responses, professionalism, quality workmanship, detailed quotes and creative design ideas, and an ability to handle difficult sites such as steep slopes and coastal gardens.
Harry Lyall runs every job, working alongside his colleague Matt. You deal with the people doing the work, from the first visit to the finished garden, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the build.
Every patio installation job is covered by a full written contract and a warranty, typically 2 years, confirmed in writing for your specific job, and by our employer's and public liability insurance. You know what's included, what it costs and what happens if anything isn't right.
