More Information
Before we lay a single slab, we think about how the patio needs to work. The size, shape, and position all matter. A patio that is too small for your outdoor furniture is frustrating. One that is positioned to catch the shadow of the house for most of the day is not much use. Our team walks the garden with you, discusses how you want to use the space, and helps you arrive at a patio design that genuinely works for your lifestyle and your Burgess Hill garden layout.
Natural stone, including Indian sandstone and limestone, gives a warm, characterful look that suits a wide range of garden styles. Porcelain is increasingly popular for its durability, low maintenance, and crisp modern appearance. Block paving offers a more traditional look and integrates well with existing block paved areas. M&S Landscaping advises on all the options and helps you balance aesthetics, durability, and budget.
Patio slabs need a solid, level base to avoid cracking, rocking, and subsidence. We excavate to the right depth, lay a compacted sub-base, and bed slabs on the correct mortar mix for the material being used. Joints are pointed neatly and consistently. The result is a patio that is level, strong, and does not develop the hollow spots and rocking slabs that come from poor preparation.

We designed and laid a new patio for a property in Ditchling using large format Indian sandstone. The customer had a small courtyard garden with a south-facing aspect and wanted to make the most of every square metre. We designed the patio to wrap around two sides of the garden, maximising the usable flat space and integrating a raised planting bed at the far end. It completely transformed the space.
STILL NOT SURE?
Patio costs vary depending on size, materials, and site preparation requirements. M&S Landscaping offers free, no-obligation quotes for patio laying and design across Burgess Hill and Mid Sussex. There is no call-out charge, so getting a price is completely free.
A standard patio installation in Burgess Hill usually takes two to four days depending on size and material. Natural stone and porcelain may require additional pointing time. We will give you a clear timeline during your free quote.
Porcelain is extremely durable and resistant to frost, staining, and fading. Natural stone also lasts well with appropriate sealing. Block paving is very hardwearing for higher traffic areas. M&S Landscaping will advise on the best material for your specific situation.
