Patio Maintenance Guide
Keep your patio looking its best with these simple maintenance tips:
- Regular sweeping:
Sweep your patio regularly to get rid of leaves, dirt, and other things that can make it look messy. This will also help stop weeds from growing between the paving stones.
- Washing:
Every now and then, give your patio a good wash with a pressure washer to get rid of stubborn stains. Remember to brush more sand into the gaps between the paving stones afterwards.
- Sealing: If you have a natural stone patio, it's a good idea to seal it every few years. This will help protect it from the weather and keep it looking good for longer.
- Checking for problems:
Once a year, check your patio for any loose or uneven paving stones. If you find any, get them fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
- Winter care:
Avoid using de-icing salts on your patio in winter, as they can damage the paving stones.
We can also give you more specific advice on how to care for your patio, for the paving stones you've chosen.

Planning Your Patio
Things to consider when planning your new patio:
- Planning permission: You usually don't need permission to build a patio in your back garden. But, if you're planning a patio in your front garden or if your home is a listed building, you might need to check with the council first.
- Drainage:
It's important to make sure your patio drains properly, especially with all the rain we get in Yorkshire! We'll make sure your patio is built to meet the latest drainage rules.
- Looking after your patio:
Different types of patios need different kinds of care. For example, natural stone patios need to be sealed every few years, while concrete patios are very low maintenance. We'll give you advice on how to look after your patio.
- Matching your home's style:
We can design your patio to match the style of your home and other gardens in Yorkshire.
- Dealing with Yorkshire weather:
We'll choose materials that can handle the Yorkshire weather, including heavy rain and freezing temperatures.
- Stopping puddles: We'll make sure your patio is built with the right drainage so you don't get puddles when it rains.
- Keeping your patio looking great: We'll use materials that won't crack or break during cold Yorkshire winters.

When's the best time to get a new patio?

The best time to install a new patio is usually between late spring and early autumn. This is because the weather is warmer and drier, which makes it easier to work outside.
- Winter:
It's sometimes possible to install a patio in winter, but it depends on the weather. We need to be able to prepare the ground properly, and some materials can be harder to work with in cold temperatures.
If you're thinking about getting a new patio, it's best to contact us early.
