Why Choose Us?
Patio Installation for Ramsey's Unique Ground Conditions
Building a patio in the Fens requires an acute understanding of the local soil profile. Ramsey and its surrounding areas often feature peat and silt, which can be prone to movement and settlement. To ensure your paving remains stable, we prioritise the foundation layer above all else. Our process involves excavating to the required depth and installing a substantial, compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base layered over a high-quality geotextile membrane. This method prevents slabs from sinking or rocking, providing a level, permanent surface even on challenging terrain.

Who We Are
Vitrified Porcelain for Low-Maintenance Living
Porcelain paving is an excellent choice for modern gardens, offering a sleek finish with superior durability. Because these tiles are non-porous, they are highly resistant to the algae and moss growth commonly seen in damp Cambridgeshire weather. We install porcelain with precision, using an SBR slurry primer on the underside of each slab to ensure a total bond with the mortar bed. This ensures the paving remains secure and slip-resistant with an R11 rating, creating a seamless, low-maintenance transition from your home to your outdoor space.
For those who prefer a more traditional aesthetic, natural Indian sandstone provides unmatched character. We offer both riven and sawn options, such as Kandla Grey or Raj Green, which complement the historic brickwork found in Huntingdonshire towns. We use calibrated stone to ensure consistent thickness across the patio, facilitating a professional, level finish. Our pointing process uses either traditional mortar or advanced resin-based compounds, which are designed to withstand frost cycles without cracking or becoming loose.
Based in Ramsey Heights, Huntingdon, Oakland trees and landscaping provides expert tree surgery, hard landscaping, and grounds maintenance. We proudly serve domestic and commercial clients within a 50-mile radius, covering all of Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Bedfordshire, and Northamptonshire.
Effective garden drainage is essential in our region to prevent standing water near your property foundations. When we design your new patio, we calculate the necessary falls to direct surface water away from brickwork and towards appropriate drainage points. Our team ensures that all installations respect regional standards, including SuDS compliance, to manage run-off efficiently. Whether your project involves a small courtyard or a full garden transformation, we tailor the design to integrate with your landscape, keeping drainage and site stability at the forefront of our work.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Porcelain And Sandstone Paving in Ramsey Questions
Answers to common questions about our Porcelain And Sandstone Paving in Ramsey
Is porcelain paving slippery for a family garden?
Actually, porcelain tiles designed for outdoor use have a textured surface specifically made to provide grip. They often have a higher slip resistance than many types of natural stone. Because they do not grow algae as easily as other materials, they stay safer to walk on during the wet Huntingdonshire winters.
What is the best way to clean natural sandstone slabs?
To keep sandstone looking its best, a regular sweep and an occasional wash with soapy water usually does the trick. You can use a pressure washer, but you have to be careful not to damage the mortar joints between the stones. If you want to protect the colour and stop spills from staining, we can apply a breathable sealer once the stones are dry.
How long does it take to install a new patio in Ramsey?
A standard-sized domestic patio usually takes between five and ten working days. This includes digging out the old lawn, laying the sub-base, setting the slabs, and letting the pointing cure. The weather and the ease of access to your rear garden can change this timeline, but we always keep you updated on our progress.
Why does my current patio have standing water on it?
This usually happens because the patio was not laid with a slight slope, known as a fall. In Ramsey, where the ground can be very flat and the soil does not drain well, this is a common issue. When we install garden paving slabs, we use laser levels to make sure water runs off into a lawn, a flower bed, or a dedicated drainage channel.
Can I lay porcelain tiles over my old concrete patio?
It is sometimes possible if the concrete is in perfect condition, but we rarely recommend it. In Huntingdonshire, the ground moves too much. If the old concrete cracks or sinks, your new porcelain tiles will do the same. We prefer to remove the old material and build a fresh, reinforced base to protect the longevity of your investment.
