Expert patio installation across Hampshire. Porcelain, Indian sandstone, limestone and block paving. Proper sub-base, drainage and a 12-month workmanship guarantee as standard.
About This Service
A professionally installed patio transforms the way you use your garden. Moore & Son install patios across Hampshire using porcelain, Indian sandstone, limestone, granite and block paving — all laid on correctly prepared sub-bases with proper drainage as standard, not as an add-on.
We've seen the results of patios laid without adequate preparation: sinking slabs, standing water, joint failure within a year. Our approach prevents all of this. Every patio we install begins with proper excavation, a compacted Type 1 sub-base of the correct depth for the material and load, and mortar beds mixed to the right specification. The result is a surface that stays level, drains freely and lasts for decades.
Patio Materials We Install
Porcelain paving — contemporary, low-maintenance and frost-resistant. Available in a wide range of colours and formats including 600×600, 600×900 and 900×900.
Indian sandstone — natural warmth and character. We use calibrated sandstone for consistent laying and a clean finish.
Limestone — elegant and durable for more formal or period settings.
Granite setts and cobbles — ideal for edging, driveways and feature areas.
Block paving — flexible and practical for driveways and paths as well as patios.
Drainage and Ground Conditions in Hampshire
Hampshire's chalk and clay sub-soils create specific drainage challenges — particularly in Eastleigh, Fair Oak and the SO50 corridor where clay pockets retain moisture below the surface. We increase sub-base depth where necessary, install ACO drainage channels where surface water is likely to pool, and ensure all patios fall away from buildings at the correct gradient. Your patio will perform correctly in Hampshire's wet winters, not just in summer.

A standard residential patio of 20 to 40 square metres typically takes 2 to 4 days to complete. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. The timeline includes excavation, sub-base preparation, laying and jointing. We allow adequate curing time before the surface is used. We will give you a clear timeline in your written quotation.
Porcelain paving is currently the most popular choice for Hampshire gardens. It is frost-resistant, stain-resistant, low-maintenance and available in a wide range of formats and colours. Indian sandstone offers a warmer, more natural appearance and is an excellent mid-range option. Limestone suits more formal or period settings. Block paving is a practical and flexible choice for driveways and utility areas. The best material depends on your budget, aesthetic preference and how the patio will be used. We bring samples to site visits so you can make an informed choice in context.
In most cases, no. Patios at ground level in a rear or side garden do not require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, you may need consent. Front garden paving that covers more than 5 square metres and is not permeable may require planning permission under permitted development rules. We will advise you on any planning considerations at the quotation stage.
