Garden Patio & Garden Paving Care, Maintenance and Cleaning

After a few years you may have to re-grout the garden patio / paving slabs using a specialist, weed suppressing sand. Most garden patios take less than few hours to treat with this sand. Depending on the weather and aspect of your patio we recommend pressure washing your garden patio once a year.

Sourcing your garden patio & garden paving materials

Over the years we have built good relationships with suppliers of paving slabs – both from British quarries and abroad to ensure we can source premium paving slabs. We have sourced Caithness Flagstone paving slabs that come from Wick.

Its is very important to use reputable garden patio and garden paving materials brands – it is a false economy to use cheap unbranded slabs.

When ordering paving slabs that are sourced from out with the UK we endeavour to ensure these paving slabs meet strict ethical standards. With Marshall's paving slabs for example they state:

"Marshall's make a commitment that all the workers in our supply chain are paid a fair living wage, no discrimination is practised and hard and inhumane treatment is not allowed".

Choosing your garden patios & paving materials

There is a vast range of paving slabs available, for all budgets and all tastes. There are different colours, textures, shapes and sizes. Indian Flagstone paving slabs are very popular these days not just for their excellent value but also for the choice of colours and textures available.

Please remember that your choice of paving slabs is something you should consider carefully – you will be looking at them for years to come.

Cheap garden patio & garden paving materials

It is a false economy to source cheap garden patio slabs. For sure, you could save a few pounds on unbranded slabs. But will they stand up to our weather? It is possible that cheap patio / paving slabs may not be frost proof and over time they will de-laminate. Are they ethically sourced? Some paving and patio materials come from India / Bangladesh. We only use materials that our suppliers have policies in place to ensure fare treatment of local staff.

garden patios Edinburgh FAQs

Please see below for frequently asked questions regarding our garden patios Edinburgh services.

A new garden patio will have a large visual impact on your garden makeover. There are statistics that suggest an increase in property value for a recent landscaped garden. Our thoughts are a professionally landscaped garden will help you stand out from other properties for sale.

Please be careful in choosing cheap garden patio slabs. They will be cheap for a reason and may not stand up to our Scottish winters. We only use branded patio slabs from reputable suppliers.

It really comes down to personal preference between these options. It is fair to say a garden patio will outlast decking and is easier to maintain.

Our landscape gardener services include renovating garden patios. Generally we treat and pressure wash the patio and then re-point it. Most types of staining on the garden patio will be cleaned.

We have lots of experience in building garden patios, and other landscape gardener services. We can build your garden patio to your design.
