Frequently Asked Questions
Why is porcelain better than standard slabs?
It’s denser, harder and far more resistant to moisture, stains and frost, making it easier to maintain and longer-lasting.
Is porcelain slippery when wet?
No. Outdoor-grade porcelain is designed with anti-slip texture for safe year-round use.
Can you create custom designs?
Yes. We can design unique layouts and finishes to match your home and style.
How do you clean porcelain paving?
Usually just a hose down or light jet wash is enough to keep it looking fresh.

Dan set a tiny landing ledge near the door for hot pans and placed a towel hook where your hand actually goes. He labelled a short care note and left spare grout.
It’s the little decisions that remove faff and make weeknight tea outside normal.

Dan studied how we move between door and table, then rotated the layout a couple of slabs so the last sun lands on plates. He split a tall step into two gentle rises, set a mat well flush and tucked a drain at the downpipe.
He proved the fall with a jug. Nothing flashy, just logic. We’ve stopped dodging showers and started staying out.

Dan arrived with a tape, patience and a neat stack of samples. He explained R ratings so we chose texture that grips in drizzle, then aligned joints to our kitchen tiles so inside flows out.
A mat well sits flush, the grill clears the beam and the drain passed a jug test. It’s oddly relaxing to step out and nothing argues back.

They rebuilt the sub base, corrected a soft corner and tested falls with water. Dan added a mat well that sits flush so trays don’t rock.

Dan split one tall riser into two easier steps and tucked a mat well neatly. My mum feels confident again.

Dan checked neighbour levels so we didn’t gift them our water, then showed me the fall with string. He added a tiny upstand to keep mulch off the edge and set a mat well that no longer trips trays.
Little fixes, big comfort. It feels thought through.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced cracked flags with anti slip porcelain that shrugs muddy paws. Joints are tight, colours sit quiet and the path lands straight on the shed.
Boards saved the grass, the lane was swept nightly and the kerb looks cleaner than before they came. It’s settled, not showy, which suits us.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping chose a warm grey that balances our red brick. Border setts meet like they mean it, the path hits the shed square and the lawn edge looks laser straight.
It feels bigger although the fence never moved.

We chose a pale stone look. Dan set a mat well flush, tucked a drain at the downpipe and kept the lane spotless.
Everything feels considered.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping tied the new porcelain into the old path with a tidy threshold stone. The seam is invisible and the mower edge looks drawn.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping formed a curved edge that makes the garden feel wider. The surface has a gentle texture so it stays friendly in drizzle and in frost.
We used it for breakfast in coats the next day.

Dan shifted the layout two slabs so the table catches evening sun, then tucked a mat well flush so trays stop wobbling. He added a tiny upstand that keeps mulch off the edge.
First storm since and the step stayed perfectly dry.

Dan arrived with samples and a simple way of explaining slip ratings so I knew what to pick. He nudged the layout two slabs to catch the last of the sun, split a steep riser into two gentler steps and set a mat well that sits flush.
The porcelain has grip without looking gritty, and he proved the fall with a jug before packing up. We walk out in socks now, which says everything.

Dan checked neighbour levels so our fix didn’t become their problem. The porcelain texture feels sure in drizzle.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping lifted tired slabs, rebuilt the base and set porcelain level to the doors. A slim channel keeps the step dry and the border frames the table neatly.
We’re outside more because it’s easy.
