New Patios in Balbriggan

Think about how you would spend a summer evening in your Balbriggan garden: where the chairs go, where the sun still reaches late in the day and how you carry plates out from the kitchen. That is the starting point for every patio, and the size, shape and levels are agreed with you before the ground is touched.

Choosing the stone is easier when you can see it on site. Samples of porcelain, granite and limestone are brought to the FREE design visit, so you can compare porcelain's uniform finish, granite's hard-wearing speckle and limestone's blue-grey colour in the light that falls on your own garden.

A step from the back door down to the patio can be built in matching stone, with edge pieces to suit, so nothing looks added on afterwards.

The ground is dug out and compacted, slabs are fully bedded so none of them sound hollow, and the finished surface falls gently to carry rain away from your house. The installation is covered by a 5-year warranty.

How It Works

How a New Patio Is Built

  1. Plan the Layout

    The garden is measured up and you agree the shape, size and levels, with samples of each stone on hand.

  2. Dig Out

    Existing grass or paving is lifted and the area is dug out to make way for a firm base.

  3. Base & Falls

    The base is compacted until solid and given a gentle slope away from your house.

  4. Lay & Point

    Slabs are laid out to plan, cut where the shape demands and finished with pointed joints.

  5. Final Check Together

    The completed patio is reviewed with you, and you both confirm the work matches what was agreed.

FAQs

Patios FAQs for Balbriggan

Do You Lay Patios in Balbriggan?

Yes. Balbriggan in Co. Dublin is around 15 km from our Swords base, and patios are laid there and in Gormanston, Stamullen, Skerries and Rush. Call 1800 938 832 with your Eircode and a FREE site visit will be arranged.

How Do I Get a Price for Patios in Balbriggan?

Get in touch on 1800 938 832 or use the form, adding your Eircode. A FREE site visit is arranged in Balbriggan to see what the job involves, and you are given a clear price without small print. There is no pushy selling and no deposit to pay.

Which Patio Stone Is Best for an Irish Garden?

All three suit Irish conditions once they are laid on a proper base. The difference is mostly in looks and upkeep: porcelain is the easiest to keep clean, granite is the most hard-wearing and limestone has that classic blue-grey colour. Samples are brought to your garden so you can make the call in your own light.

Will a Porcelain Patio Be Slippery in the Rain?

Outdoor porcelain is given a textured finish so it grips in the wet. Its slip resistance is tested and rated, and R11 is the figure most suppliers treat as the floor for gardens; slabs made for outside are generally 20mm thick. At the visit you can compare the texture of each sample, including flamed granite and textured limestone.

How Big Should My Patio Be?

Big enough for the table and chairs you have in mind, plus clear space to walk around them once everyone is seated. The area is marked out on the ground with you at the visit, so you can see the true size before anything is excavated.

What Affects the Cost of a New Patio?

The patio's area matters most, then the stone, the amount of digging and base work, and details like steps, curves or edge pieces. Porcelain is harder to cut, which adds labour. You get a clear quote after the FREE site visit, no deposit is asked for, and you pay when the work is done.

Can the Patio Be Level With My Back Door?

The finished surface sits just under the door threshold rather than exactly level, and it slopes gently away from the house. That way rain drains off towards the garden and does not run back to the door. The heights are worked out with you at the design visit.

How Much Fall Should a Patio Have?

A common guideline is one in sixty, or around 17mm of drop per metre, falling away from the house to the garden or a drain. Some suppliers allow a shallower 1 in 80 for smooth porcelain. The fall on your patio is agreed with you at the visit along with the other levels.

Can You Lay a Patio Over My Old Slabs?

No. The old slabs come up, along with the bed they were laid on. A new patio set on top of old paving inherits whatever was wrong underneath, from loose slabs to poor drainage, so it goes onto a freshly dug and compacted base instead.

Does a New Patio Need Sealing?

Porcelain does not need sealing at all, since it is non-porous. Granite is very low-maintenance and only needs sweeping and the occasional wash. Limestone can be sealed if you want spills to clean off more easily, though it is not essential, and that option is discussed when you pick the stone.

Is There a Warranty on a New Patio?

Yes. A 5-year warranty applies to the installation of every new patio, and the slabs carry a separate warranty from their manufacturer. Quotes have no small print, no deposit is taken, and you pay when the patio is finished (stage payments may apply on a larger project).

How Can I Tell a Patio Has Been Laid Well?

A well-laid patio feels solid: no slab rocks, and rain runs off without leaving puddles. Adjoining slabs should be close to level (around 2mm is the usual tolerance), joints should be evenly filled, and the paving should stay 150mm or more beneath the damp-proof course, apart from at doorways, with air bricks uncovered.
