Transform your garden into a high-performance living space. Our UV-stable, porous resin patios combine bespoke aesthetics with a furniture-grade finish, engineered to withstand the Devon climate while remaining maintenance-free for decades.
A patio is the social heart of your garden. Unlike traditional paving slabs that can shift, crack, or become slick with algae, our resin-bound patios are engineered to provide a monolithic, high-strength surface that remains vibrant and porous. We combine the aesthetics of natural stone with the precision of modern polymer science.
We treat every patio as a "precision pour," ensuring the finish is refined enough for luxury garden furniture while maintaining the heavy-duty integrity of an engineered foundation.
Explore our specialised resin bound surfacing options. From SUDS-compliant garden patios to precision-contoured swimming pool surrounds, each installation is engineered for Devon's unique landscape.
A premium patio requires an architectural approach that balances aesthetic elegance with heavy-duty structural engineering. We adhere to a multi-stage process designed to create a vibrant, level, and SUDS-compliant social space that withstands the elements.
The process begins with the precision excavation of the existing footprint to a depth that allows for a fully porous foundation. We install a high-tensile geotextile separation fabric to provide a stable, root-resistant barrier. This ensures that the clean sub-base remains isolated from native soils, maintaining the long-term structural integrity of your patio.
A patio foundation is engineered for stability and drainage. We provide two primary specifications based on your garden's topography:
Standard Specification: A minimum 150mm depth of compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate, providing a rock-solid, non-shifting foundation for furniture and high-traffic social areas.
Point-Load Specification (Hot Tubs/Architecture): For projects involving heavy features like hot tubs or outdoor kitchens, we utilise a reinforced Open-Graded Porous Asphalt (OGPA) or high-strength concrete base to prevent localised subsidence.
To ensure the resin matrix remains immovable, we install specialised edging available in Architectural Aluminium, Galvanised Steel, or Pre-formed Concrete. Every edge is laser-leveled to create a flush transition with your lawn or garden walls, securely haunched to prevent lateral shifting over time.
The final phase is the hand-trowelled application of our UV-stable aliphatic resin matrix.
UV-Stable Aliphatic Resin: We exclusively use high-grade Aliphatic binders for patios to ensure zero yellowing or fading in south-facing Devon gardens.
The Finish: Our team utilises a refined aggregate blend, hand-finishing the surface to a strict thickness and compaction level. This results in a furniture-grade, porous surface that is chemically bonded to the foundation, ensuring a seamless, weed-free finish for decades of outdoor living.
A patio is an extension of your home's interior. We treat every installation with the same respect we would show an indoor renovation. Our "Duty of Care" protocol is designed to protect your property and ensure the transition from construction to relaxation is seamless and secure.
Before a single bag of aggregate is opened, our team conducts a Property Protection Assessment:
Bifold & Masonry Masking: We meticulously mask all bifold door frames, low-level brickwork, and damp-proof courses to protect against resin splash and dust.
Sensitive Area Protection: Identifying and shielding nearby garden features, expensive pots, or delicate border plants that border the patio area.
Structural Loading Check: Ensuring the planned sub-base can handle the "point-load" of hot tubs or permanent outdoor kitchens.
Our dedicated in-house team maintains a "Clean Site" policy throughout the pour:
Aliphatic Consistency: Live-monitoring our UV-stable aliphatic resin mixes to ensure 100% colour consistency across large patio spans.
Minimal Footprint: Utilising specialised equipment that minimises impact on your lawn and surrounding garden paths during the material transition.
We don't leave until the site is as pristine as the new surface:
Residue Removal: A full site sweep and removal of all protective masking, leaving only a sharp, clean edge where the resin meets your home.
Furniture Safety Check: Verifying the surface cure and smoothness to ensure your garden furniture can be placed without snagging or unevenness.
Client Walk-Through: A final joint inspection to ensure every detail from the drainage fall to the edge-finishing meets our "Official" standards.
Not with our installations. We exclusively use UV-stable Aliphatic resin for all patio projects. Unlike cheaper aromatic resins used by budget contractors, our Aliphatic binders are chemically engineered to resist UV degradation. This ensures your chosen aggregate colour remains vibrant and true, even in south-facing gardens with high sun exposure.
Yes, provided the sub-base is engineered for it. During our initial site audit, we identify any "point-load" requirements. If you plan on installing a hot tub, we reinforce the foundation—typically with a porous concrete or OGPA base—to ensure the weight is distributed evenly, preventing any sinking or cracking of the resin surface.
Resin-bound surfacing is remarkably easy to clean. Because the surface is non-porous to dirt but porous to water, most spills can be washed away with mild soapy water and a soft brush. For stubborn grease marks from a BBQ, a light degreaser and a low-pressure power wash will restore the finish without damaging the resin bond.
Traditional slabs often suffer from shifting, weed growth in the joints, and "puddling" due to uneven levels. A resin patio is a monolithic, seamless surface with no joints for weeds to exploit. Furthermore, its full permeability (SUDS compliance) means surface water drains away instantly, eliminating the slippery algae growth common on stone or concrete.
Our resin systems have a relatively fast cure time. Typically, you can walk on the surface in 8–12 hours. We recommend waiting 24–48 hours before placing heavy garden furniture or large planters back onto the patio to ensure the resin matrix has reached its full structural Shore hardness.
