Gardens in Cantley
Much of Cantley was built as one large estate from the 1960s and 70s, with semi-detached and detached houses, open-plan front gardens and back gardens of a sensible family size. Many of those gardens still have their original concrete slab patios and timber fences, and after half a century they are tired, uneven and often rotten at the base.
Replacing a 50-year-old patio is rarely a like-for-like job. The old one is usually too small, laid straight onto soil, and sitting too close to the damp-proof course. We lift it, dig out, build a proper base and lay a new patio at the right level, often larger and with a step down to the lawn.
Open-plan front gardens are another Cantley feature. Plenty of owners now want to turn them into parking. We can build a block paved or resin driveway, but if the drive will be crossed from the road you will need a dropped kerb through the council, and the surface has to drain properly to avoid needing planning permission.

Questions from Cantley customers
Can you replace our old Cantley patio with a bigger one?
Yes. We lift the old slabs, rebuild the base and lay the new patio at a safe level below the damp-proof course, sized to how you want to use it.
Can you turn an open-plan front garden into a drive?
Yes, with a permeable surface or drainage to a lawn or border. You will also need council approval for a dropped kerb if you will cross the pavement.
