Creating Outdoor Living Spaces That Work for Your Lifestyle
A well-designed patio becomes the centre of your garden. It creates a space where family and friends can gather while also improving the overall layout of your outdoor environment.
Our patio designs focus on:
- Comfort and usability
- Durable materials suited to the British climate
- Visual harmony with your home and garden
- Low-maintenance surfaces
- Long-term structural stability
We often integrate patio areas with wider garden features such as external kitchens and entertaining areas. These additions allow homeowners to enjoy their outdoor space throughout the year.
Patio Materials and Paving Options
Choosing the right paving material is essential for both appearance and durability. Our team helps clients select materials that match the architecture of their home while providing long-lasting performance.
Natural Stone Patios
Natural stone patios provide a timeless appearance and blend beautifully with garden planting.
Popular options include:
- Sandstone paving
- Limestone slabs
- Granite paving
- Yorkstone paving
These materials are durable and weather well over time, making them a popular choice for traditional gardens.
Block Paving Patios
Block paving can be used to create intricate patterns and flexible layouts. It is a versatile option often used alongside driveway installations.
Porcelain Patios
Porcelain paving has become increasingly popular due to its modern appearance and low maintenance qualities. However, it is also now available in a wide range of styles designed to replicate more traditional materials, including natural stone and wood, offering greater flexibility in garden design.
Benefits include:
- Slip-resistant surfaces
- Minimal staining
- Consistent colour
- Long-lasting durability
Porcelain patios work particularly well in contemporary garden designs.
Complete Garden Installation Services
Patios rarely exist in isolation. They are typically part of a wider landscaping plan designed to improve the entire outdoor space.
At Manor Landscapes, we provide a complete garden installation service that includes:
- Groundworks and drainage
- Structural brickwork
- Steps and retaining walls
- Decking areas
- Garden fencing
- Turf and lawn installation
- Garden lighting
This integrated approach ensures your patio fits naturally into the overall garden layout.
Patio Design That Enhances Property Value
Investing in a professionally designed patio can significantly enhance the usability and value of your property.
Outdoor living spaces are increasingly important to homeowners and buyers. According to guidance on property improvements published by the GOV.UK well-planned home improvements can positively influence property appeal and functionality.
High-quality landscaping can also improve well-being by encouraging people to spend more time outdoors. The Royal Horticultural Society highlights how gardens and outdoor spaces contribute to mental health and relaxation.
A professionally installed patio can therefore provide both lifestyle and financial benefits.

Testimonials
Customer Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 25 reviews Posted on Iain BalkwillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We commissioned Manor Landscapes to design and build out a new garden for us and were extremely pleased with the results. We met with Dave and explained what our basic requirements were and he came back with a design that was really exciting and inspiring. The construction work began soon after and the team worked hard to deliver within the estimated timeframe and also in line with the budget that we had received. The planting ideas were excellent too and a couple of years on, we are seeing the garden in a more mature state and have only needed to undertake relatively limited maintenance during this period (which was one of our goals at the outset). Thanks so much!Posted on James RuthvenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manor Landscapes designed and undertook a make-over of our rear garden. The work started in April 2024 and involved taking up our existing patios and path ways and then relaying with porcelain tiles, enlarging and levelling our existing grassed area and building dwarfing brick walls around our existing flower beds. The team that worked on the project were both friendly and professional and we were very impressed with the quality of their work and delighted with the final outcome. We would highly recommend Manor Landscapes.Posted on Andrew SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had various quotes, the Manor Landscapes quote was competitive and the most detailed. The others could do the work quicker but it was worth the wait for not only the quality of the workmanship but also how tidy and organised they were.Posted on Ed HornerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have used Manor Landscapes for domestic landscaping work, a number of times over an almost 30 year period now. Always great quality, they keep a super tidy site, able to deal with anything that crops up and have delivered great results on both traditional and contemporary projects. Latest work in late 2024 / spring 25 included new Ipe hardwood decking, ceramic tiling and planter rendering. Significant electrical work including outside 12v, 24v and 240v wiring to support garden lighting. External Cat5 networking install and router to support wireless lighting control. Pleached tree planting. Great job with no snags.Posted on Matt WebbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave and the guys were first class, from start to finish including the after service. From helping from designing my patios, to picking out trees and educating me on plants etc. The garden and fire pit still get wow compliments to this day! ThanksPosted on Steve JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manor Landscapes have completed 4 large garden projects for us over the last 15 years. The last one being completed early this year. Dave and his team are friendly, professional and have always finished the work to a high standard. Their pricing is competitive and fair. We would recommend them highly.Posted on Oliver MiddletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manor Landscapes are brilliant. Reasonable cost, great team. Tony the foreman was excellent. Minor problem with our grass/seeding dealt with promptly. Highly recommendPosted on Rhonda MurtharTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not recommend Manor Landscapes more highly. I had an idea of the landscaping I wanted done and I was given advice and suggestions to improve on these initial ideas. Once the team arrived (a friendly and polite bunch), they worked diligently and I am delighted with the final result. They took the time to ensure everything was done to the highest standard and took pride in doing an excellent job. I changed my mind on something part-way through and they made a change without any fuss. It was important to the company that I was totally happy with the job… and I was. After completion, I found the managers very approachable and responsive to any queries that I had. I have no hesitation in recommending them. RMPosted on Scuba GirlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with garden and driveway. Would not hesitate to use again.Posted on Sally DevineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged Manor Landscapes to design and build a new patio layout in my newly purchased home. It was beautifully thought out and complimented the house and garden to provide a dining area and separate seating area. The surrounding borders were replanted with lovely flowers and shrubs. The guys doing the work were polite, friendly and professional. The work stayed on schedule and there were no significant delays. Would definitely recommend
