The cost of a new patio depends on the size of the area, the groundworks needed, drainage, access to the garden, and the materials you choose. Natural stone, Indian sandstone, limestone, slate, porcelain, porcelain tiling, concrete and block paving all come with different costs for supply and patio installation.

As patio builders Purley homeowners trust, we give every client a free no obligation quotation across the Purley area, South Croydon and Surrey, so you know the full value before we start.

At Absolute Gardens, we offer a wide choice of quality materials for patio installation, including natural stone, indian sandstone, limestone, slate, concrete, block paving and porcelain. We also carry out porcelain tiling and can source products from leading manufacturers in a range of colours, textures and finishes.

Our patio specialists will help you choose materials that suit your garden, your property and the way you use the space day to day. If you are also planning a new driveway, local driveway upgrade, paths or a full driveway or patio project, our block paving services will help you keep the whole area looking right.

Most patio installation jobs take around 3 to 7 working days, but larger projects can take 1 to 2 weeks if they include extra drainage, deep groundworks, steps, paths, or detailed paving work. The time also depends on site access, the size of the patio, and the finish you want.

Our expert team plans every job properly before installing starts, so the work runs smoothly and your garden space is kept tidy and safe. As experienced paving contractors and patio installers, we keep you updated through each stage of the project and focus on quality workmanship from the first dig to the final clean.

In most cases, you do not need planning permission for a patio, but it depends on the levels, drainage and how the new surface affects your property. If the work links to a local driveway, a new driveway, or changes how rainwater drains near the house or where you park a car, extra checks may be needed.

At Absolute Gardens, we talk you through this at the start so there are no surprises later. Serving Purley, South Croydon and nearby parts of Surrey, our company looks at drainage, levels and access as part of our patio and paving services, and we can also advise if your job includes block paving services for a driveway.

Yes, we can remove an old patio and replace it with a new patio that looks better, works better and lasts longer. Our Purley paving team can lift worn slabs, sort failed groundworks, improve drainage, and install fresh paving in natural stone, porcelain, block paving or concrete to transform your outdoor space.

Many of our clients ask us to update a tired garden so it feels more welcoming for family and friends, with room to sit, relax and enjoy the space again. As patio contractors with decades of expertise, we carry out each job with care, reliable service and strong workmanship so the finished patio gives a great first impression.

The right patio design starts with how you want to use the space and what suits your home, garden and property. Some homeowners want a clean area for outdoor dining, some want paths that link the house and lawn, and others want room for seating, planting or a new driveway at the same time.

We help you choose a design that fits your space, budget and day-to-day use, so you know what to expect before work begins.
