Patios and Paving for homes in Thorpe St Andrew

Landscaping Norfolk provides patios and paving in Thorpe St Andrew and across the wider Broadland 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 Thorpe St Andrew is well within our normal working area.

Thorpe St Andrew lies along the River Yare on the east side of Norwich, with riverside houses, Victorian villas and a lot of post-war housing up the hill. Sloping gardens and drainage towards the river come up regularly.

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 Thorpe St Andrew

Ground around Thorpe St Andrew varies from loam to clay within a few streets, so we check the actual conditions before setting depths. Every patio and driveway gets a full excavation, a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base and falls set for drainage, with the depth adjusted to suit what we find.

Homes in Thorpe St Andrew are mostly family houses and bungalows with good-sized gardens, and the most common requests are new patios, wider driveways, fence replacements and turf. We work efficiently in built-up areas and keep access clear for neighbours.

01
Site visit and quote

We visit, measure up, talk through materials and layout, then send a clear written quote.

Good to know

Patios & Paving in Thorpe St Andrew: common questions

Do you cover Thorpe St Andrew for patios and paving?

Yes. Thorpe St Andrew (NR7) 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 Thorpe St Andrew?

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.
