Make room
for outside.
A patio that never quite earns its place?
Too cramped for the table, awkward to reach or simply somewhere you never sit? MLG plans patios around the space and the way you want to use it, with the preparation and finishing details considered together.
Your postcode. A few photos. A place to begin.
Sound familiar?
More than paving.
A place to be.
Choosing the finish is easier when you know the space will work. Start with what your current patio stops you doing.
How MLG can help
Make room for the way you actually use it.
Start with the table, seating and routes through the garden. MLG can discuss a layout that allows for the everyday movement around them, as well as the paving itself.
- Consider furniture and room to move
- Look at the connection to the house
- Shape the area around dining, relaxing or both
How MLG can help
Look at the cause before choosing the finish.
The existing surface is only part of the picture. Discuss the base, levels, access and drainage so the proposed work addresses the site, rather than simply covering it.
- Assess the existing surface and ground
- Discuss levels, drainage and preparation
- Include the necessary work in the agreed scope
How MLG can help
Choose the material in context.
Think about the house, boundaries, planting and how much upkeep you want. MLG can work through the appearance and practical considerations of the options with you.
- Bring a few examples of the look you like
- Compare the finish with the surrounding garden
- Discuss the care needs before choosing

More than a paving choice.
The position, size and levels of a patio shape how it feels. Start with the furniture, sunlight and routes through your garden; then work through the materials and preparation.
The right material
Explore the appearance and upkeep of porcelain and natural stone alongside the practical demands of the site.
What lies beneath
Access, excavation, levels and drainage all belong in the conversation before the scope is agreed.

Driveways & groundworks
Planning a driveway or preparatory work? Tell us about the existing surface, access and how the space needs to function. The finish and any drainage requirements should be considered as part of the site assessment.
A straightforward starting point
A new patio can be the whole project.
Wondering whether a new patio means taking on the whole garden? It does not. Individual patio enquiries are welcome. Talk through the area you want to improve, then decide what work makes sense for you.

Before you begin
Your
questions.
Can I enquire about a patio on its own?
Yes. Individual patio projects are welcome, as well as paving within a complete garden transformation.
Do I need to choose the paving first?
No. Bring examples of the look you like and explain how you plan to use the space. Materials can be discussed alongside the layout and practical details.
Can a photograph provide an exact price?
Photos help start the conversation. They may not show levels, access or ground conditions, so a reliable quotation needs a clear scope and enough information about the site.
Do you also handle driveways?
Driveways and groundworks are part of the service range. Include the intended use, existing surface and postcode in your enquiry so the project can be discussed.
