Patios and Paving for homes in Aldborough
Landscaping Norfolk provides patios and paving in Aldborough and across the wider North Norfolk area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so Aldborough is well within our normal working area.
Aldborough is a pretty village around a large green, halfway between Aylsham and Cromer. Traditional flint and brick cottages surround the green, with newer homes on the lanes, and we match materials carefully on walls and paving here.
A patio is the part of your garden you will use the most, so it needs to look right and stay right. We lay Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, slate and block paving across Norfolk, always on a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base with a full mortar bed under every slab. No spot bedding, no rocking slabs, no sunken corners two winters later.
Local knowledge
Patios & Paving and the ground around Aldborough
The light, sandy ground around Aldborough drains well, which is good news for paving, but it is loose and easily disturbed. We excavate to a firm layer, lay a geotextile membrane and compact MOT Type 1 in layers so the base cannot settle and the slabs or blocks stay level.
In villages like Aldborough it is important that new work sits comfortably with older buildings. We match materials to the local character, whether that means flint, red brick, gravel or natural stone, and keep the site tidy and neighbours informed.

Patios & Paving in Aldborough: common questions
Do you cover Aldborough for patios and paving?
Yes. Aldborough (NR11) is within our regular working area and we carry out patios and paving there and in the surrounding villages. We visit to measure up and quote, and travel is included in the price.
How do I get a quote for patios and paving in Aldborough?
Call or WhatsApp 07920 843493, email info@landscapingnorfolk.uk, or use the contact form. We will arrange a visit at a time that suits you, talk through what you want and send a written quote with no obligation.
How long does a patio take to lay?
A typical 20 to 40 square metre patio takes three to five days depending on access, the amount of excavation and whether steps or walls are involved. Larger or more complex jobs take longer and we will give you a realistic timescale in the quote.
What is the best paving for a Norfolk garden?
Indian sandstone remains the most popular for its natural look and value. Porcelain is very low maintenance and does not fade or stain. Block paving suits driveways and paths. We will show you samples and talk through the pros and cons of each.
Do you lay patios on a full mortar bed?
Yes, always. Every slab is laid on a full bed of mortar over a compacted sub-base. Spot bedding leaves voids that let slabs rock and crack, so we never do it.
