From the old village to Heatherton, gardens done properly.
Littleover gives us a bit of everything: period houses with mature gardens near the old village, thirties semis along the main roads, and modern plots out at Heatherton Village. Each one asks for something different, which keeps the work interesting.
We have been working across this side of Derby for years, so wherever you are in Littleover, we are never far away.
A patio should look like it belongs to the house behind it. Around the old village that usually means natural sandstone, laid in a random pattern that suits a mature garden. On the newer estates, porcelain in a clean grey often sits better against crisp render and bifold doors.
Either way the build underneath is identical: full excavation, compacted stone base, proper falls, and slabs bedded on a full mortar bed rather than dabs.
Recent jobs on this side of Derby include a complete garden transformation finished this spring and a patio and path installation that tied a whole garden together instead of leaving the lawn to fend for itself.
Both are featured below. The spec you see there, groundwork first, finish second, is the same one every Littleover quote is priced on.
We also build sleeper raised beds and retaining walls, lay premium artificial grass, and take on brickwork and full garden redesigns with the same in-house team.
If you are planning a bigger change than paving alone, it is worth talking it through as one job so the levels, walls and planting all line up.
Indian sandstone, porcelain, block paving and decking.
Complete transformations from design to delivery.

Both work, and we lay plenty of each. Sandstone suits the mature gardens around the old village, ages naturally and costs less per slab. Porcelain suits modern houses, stays uniform and shrugs off stains, but costs more and takes more careful laying. We will show you both against your house and price the same job in each.
Yes, all of Littleover including Heatherton Village, Blagreaves and out towards Findern. New-build gardens often need the most groundwork because of the compacted subsoil builders leave behind, and that is work we price honestly from the start.
That is often the better way to do it. We handle full makeovers: levels, retaining, paving, lawns real or artificial, sleeper beds and brickwork, planned and built as one job by one team.
