Patio Installers in Cottingham

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a sunken corner on proper Type 1, stitched the new porcelain to the old path with a slender threshold stone and framed the border with setts that meet perfectly at the corners. Boards kept the lawn decent and the road was swept before the lorry moved on.

The patio feels like it grew here. Breakfast outside has become normal, not an event, because plates don’t wobble and ankles don’t splash. It’s strangely restful to step out and nothing needs fixing.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a sunken corner on proper Type 1, then set a narrow gravel strip by the fence to stop splashback. The colour palette sits quietly with the house and the edging blocks meet like they mean it.

After the first shower the slabs dried evenly. That alone sold me.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping laid sandstone with a gentle texture that still wipes clean. The border edge is sharp and the lawn stayed spotless through the job.

Dan rotated the seating ten degrees to grab evening sun and shifted a step that always caught toes. He checked neighbour levels, kept the lane clear and left a little care note.

The surface feels steady and there is no puddle by the doors anymore. We ate outside in jumpers and stayed.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping extended the original patio for a proper six seater. The join is invisible and the surface sits flat right to the edge.

A small gravel strip by the fence stops splashback so the panels stay clean.

Dan noticed the pram caught the threshold, so he set a lower step and a straighter path to the shed. He tested the drain with a bucket and checked the fall with string.

The patio behaves now and my dad feels surefooted. Simple changes that count every day.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping extended the patio just enough for a six seater while keeping a good run of grass for football. A narrow gravel strip against the fence stops dirty splash, the mower edge looks laser straight and the pointing is neat rather than chunky.

They protected the borders, stacked materials sensibly and kept the lane passable for prams. It all reads intentional from the kitchen window. We’ve already had the neighbours over for tea because the layout makes more sense than our living room.

Dan advised slot drains along the house and checked them with a jug test. After last week’s storm the threshold stayed dry.

That alone sold me.

Dan warned that our windy corner would bully any chairs left there, so he swung the terrace a few degrees and caught the calmer light. He replaced a wobbly sleeper with tidy setts, added a hose point out of sight and positioned a handrail that doesn’t shout.

He left a small care note with sealing tips in plain English. The next downpour arrived, water moved on and the doors stayed dry. Tiny choices stacked into something we now use without thinking.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping set sandstone with a gentle texture that wipes with one pass of a brush and rinse. The step by the doors feels safe in slippers and the path to the side gate no longer kinks round the compost bin.

They tucked a tiny drain where the downpipe meets so there’s no little lake after rain. Edges sit crisp, colours stay calm and the whole space seems bigger although the fence never moved. We spend dawn with a mug out there now.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping lifted the old slabs and set porcelain that meets the doors cleanly. Water runs off a slim channel and the joints look crisp.

We ate outside that night.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping added a narrow gravel seam by the fence. Panels stay clean and sweeping takes minutes.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied the new porcelain into our old path with a tidy threshold piece. The join is invisible unless you know where to look.

We wanted a family space with fewer trip points. Dan shifted the seating and added a gentle step that my mum trusts.

The flow makes sense now.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping reworked a lumpy corner that always pooled after rain. Proper base, neat falls and limestone that sits quietly with the house.

A narrow gravel strip by the fence stops splashback and the mower edge looks like a ruler line. We ate outside the same night under blankets. Worth it.
