New Patios in Drogheda

Your Drogheda patio is designed around real life in the garden. Where will the table stand? Which part of the garden holds the evening sun? How do you step out from the back door? The answers shape the layout, and the size, shape and levels are agreed with you before any digging.

At the FREE design visit, samples of porcelain, granite and limestone are put down in your garden so you can compare them in natural light. Porcelain gives a crisp, uniform look that is easy to clean, granite offers a tough speckled surface, and limestone brings a soft blue-grey colour.

When the patio sits below the back door, steps and edge pieces in the same stone tie everything together, from the threshold to the last slab.

The ground is excavated and compacted to give a solid base, every slab is fully bedded to avoid hollow spots, and the surface is laid to a gentle fall that sheds water away from your house. Each installation comes with a 5-year warranty.

How It Works

How a New Patio Is Built

  1. Plan the Layout

    The garden is measured and you agree the size, shape and levels together, with the stone samples there to see.

  2. Dig Out

    Whatever covers the area now, lawn or old paving, is removed and the ground excavated for the base.

  3. Base & Falls

    The base is compacted firm and levelled to a gentle fall away from the house.

  4. Lay & Point

    Slabs are bedded to the layout, cut to fit at the edges and pointed at the joints.

  5. Final Check Together

    The finished work is gone over with you and checked against everything that was agreed.

FAQs

Patios FAQs for Drogheda

Do You Lay Patios in Drogheda?

Yes. Drogheda in Co. Louth is around 30 km from our Swords base, and patios are laid there as well as in Laytown, Bettystown, Mornington and Donore. Ring 1800 938 832 with your Eircode to book a FREE site visit. The business is fully insured.

How Do I Get a Price for Patios in Drogheda?

Ring 1800 938 832 or send in the form with your Eircode. A FREE site visit in Drogheda lets the job be seen in person, and you then get a clear price with nothing hidden in small print. You are under no pressure to go ahead, and no deposit is asked for.

Which Patio Stone Is Best for an Irish Garden?

Any of the three will stand up to Irish weather when it is laid on a well-built base. Porcelain is the lowest-effort to clean, granite is the most hard-wearing and limestone has the familiar blue-grey look. Seeing the samples in your own garden is the best way to choose, so they come with us to the visit.

Will a Porcelain Patio Be Slippery in the Rain?

Outdoor porcelain has a slightly textured surface made for grip in the wet. Manufacturers rate slip resistance on an R scale, and R11 is widely seen as the minimum for garden paving; outdoor slabs are normally 20mm thick. Samples at the visit let you compare textures, alongside flamed granite and textured limestone.

How Big Should My Patio Be?

Allow for the furniture you will actually use and enough space around it to move freely and pull out chairs. The shape is marked on the ground with you during the visit, so the real size is clear before any digging.

What Affects the Cost of a New Patio?

Cost comes down to the patio's size, the stone chosen, how much excavation and base work the site needs, and any steps or edge pieces. Porcelain takes more time to cut. A clear price follows the FREE site visit, with no deposit and payment due when the work is finished.

Can the Patio Be Level With My Back Door?

The patio is finished just below the door threshold and given a gentle fall away from the house, rather than being laid completely level. This means rain drains out to the garden and away from the door. The levels are agreed with you on site before work starts.

How Much Fall Should a Patio Have?

Guides for laying patios usually call for 1 in 60, around 17mm of fall per metre, directed away from the house. A few porcelain suppliers recommend 1:80 because the slabs are so flat. Your patio's fall, and where the water goes, is agreed with you at the visit.

Can You Lay a Patio Over My Old Slabs?

No. Laying new stone on top of old slabs builds the new patio on old problems. Instead the old slabs and their bed are taken up, and the new patio is laid on a base that has been dug out and compacted for it.

Does a New Patio Need Sealing?

Porcelain never needs sealing because it is non-porous. Granite is low-maintenance too, needing only a sweep and an occasional wash. Sealing limestone is optional: it can make stains easier to clean off but is not essential, and you get a clear explanation when you choose the stone.

Is There a Warranty on a New Patio?

Yes. Every patio installation is backed by a 5-year warranty, and the slabs have their own manufacturer's warranty on top. You also pay nothing up front: there is no deposit, and payment is made once the job is complete (larger projects may be paid in stages).

How Can I Tell a Patio Has Been Laid Well?

Look for solid slabs that don't rock underfoot and a surface that drains without puddles after rain. Neighbouring slabs should sit almost level with each other (roughly 2mm is the accepted limit), joints should be complete and even, and the paving should be at least 150mm lower than the damp proof course, except at doorways, without blocking air bricks.
