Most people don’t hate their garden.
They just feel overwhelmed by it.

Too big.
Too small.
Too uneven.
Too expensive to fix.

So they avoid it.

But the right design doesn’t just change a garden.
It changes how you feel about your home.

Be honest — do you love walking into your garden right now?

How to Lay Porcelain Paving (UK Guide 🇬🇧)

Porcelain patios look incredible — but most failures happen below ground.

If you’re installing porcelain paving in the UK, here’s what matters:

✅ 150mm MOT Type 1 sub-base (compacted in layers)
✅ Full wet mortar bed (30–50mm) – NEVER dot & dab
✅ Slurry primer on every slab
✅ Minimum fall 1:60 (16mm per metre) away from the house
✅ Patio level 150mm below DPC
✅ 3–5mm joints for movement

Common failures we see:
❌ No primer = loose slabs
❌ Poor compaction = sinking
❌ No fall = standing water & algae
❌ Weak mortar = cracking

Done properly, a porcelain patio will last 25+ years in the UK climate with minimal maintenance.

Quality prep = long-term performance.

A patio or driveway is only as strong as what’s underneath it. At M B Landscaping, we always start with the right foundation — because cutting corners below ground leads to problems above it.

A proper base means:
✔️ Stability – prevents sinking, shifting, and uneven surfaces
✔️ Drainage – stops water from pooling and causing frost damage
✔️ Longevity – helps your patio or drive last for many years
✔️ Professional finish – keeps paving blocks and slabs perfectly aligned

Skipping or rushing the groundwork might save time at first, but it often leads to costly repairs later. We use the correct depth of compacted hardcore, sharp sand, and precise levelling to ensure every project is built to last.

If you’re thinking about a new patio or driveway, make sure it’s done properly from the ground up.
