Local patio and garden specialists, right on your doorstep.
Mickleover is one of the areas we work in most. It sits on the western edge of Derby, and being so close to home it is somewhere we know street by street, from the older properties around the village centre to the newer estates spreading out towards Radbourne and Hackwood.
We have laid a lot of paving in Mickleover, and the pattern is familiar: solid family gardens where people want a proper patio to sit out on, and a surface that still looks the part in ten years. That is exactly the kind of work we are built for.
Much of Mickleover sits on clay, and the newer estates in particular were built on ground that drains slowly. That makes the base under a patio the thing that matters most. Lay straight onto soft or wet ground and the patio will settle, crack at the joints and go green.
Every patio we build here gets full excavation, a compacted sub-base and a proper fall away from the house, so water runs off instead of sitting on the surface or tracking back to the wall. Get the groundwork right and a Mickleover patio stays flat and clean for decades.
We have completed several patios in Mickleover, including a large Indian sandstone installation and a more recent sandstone patio designed as a proper dining and seating space rather than just a slab by the back door.
Both are the sort of job Mickleover gardens suit well: generous space to work with, and owners who wanted it done once and done properly. You can see them below.
Patios are where most Mickleover enquiries begin, but we handle the full range in-house. Full garden makeovers from design to planting, premium artificial grass, railway sleeper raised beds and retaining walls, and brickwork from garden walls to pillars.
Because one team covers all of it, the paving, the levels and the planting all join up properly, with one point of contact from the first visit to the final tidy-up.

Yes. Mickleover is right on our doorstep and one of the areas we work in most, so there is no travel charge and we can usually get out to look at your garden quickly. We have completed a number of patio and landscaping projects across the area.
Usually, yes. A lot of Mickleover gardens, especially on the newer estates, sit on slow-draining clay. We build patios with the right fall and a proper compacted sub-base, and add channel drains or a soakaway where needed, so water runs away instead of pooling on the surface or against the house.
A straightforward small to medium patio is usually three to five days on site, from lifting the old surface through to laying and pointing. Bigger jobs, tricky access or significant level changes take longer. We give you a realistic timescale with the quote rather than an optimistic one.
