Which options suit homes in Atherstone?

Limestone and slate

Limestone gives a soft, even colour, usually in grey, blue-black or buff, while slate is dark, fine-grained and often used for contemporary gardens. Both are natural stones with their own character and cost a little more than sandstone. Slate can be slippery when wet in shaded spots, so we'll talk about texture and position before you choose.

Steps, edging and low walls

Most gardens aren't flat, so patios often need a step down to the lawn, a low retaining wall or a raised planter. Steps should have even risers and a firm edge, and retaining walls need proper foundations. These details are priced separately in your quote so you can see what the paving alone costs.

Patios in Atherstone: common questions

How much does a new patio cost?

In the West Midlands, patios usually cost around £90–£130 per m² in concrete flags, £120–£175 per m² in Indian sandstone and £140–£230 per m² in porcelain, laid on a full sub-base with waste removal. A 20 m² sandstone patio therefore typically costs about £2,400–£3,500. Steps, walls and drainage are priced as extra lines.

What guarantee do I get on a new patio?

Paving materials come with their manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for your patio are set out in your quote. Natural stone varies by nature, so colour and texture differences between slabs are normal rather than faults. Ask us anything about the specification before you sign.

Who approves patios in Atherstone?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where North Warwickshire Borough Council would need to give listed building consent first.
