F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions – Patios & Seating in South & North Lanarkshire
Do I need planning permission for a patio or seating area in Scotland?
In most cases, no – laying a patio or adding ground-level seating in your rear garden falls under permitted development if it’s at or near ground level and uses permeable materials (or directs water to permeable areas). No permission is typically needed for standard patios under 30cm raised height. Exceptions apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, significant terracing/embanking over 30cm, or if near a road/highway. We check South/North Lanarkshire Council rules during your free site visit and advise accordingly.
What's the best patio material for Scottish weather?
Porcelain excels for low maintenance, slip resistance, and freeze-thaw durability; natural stone (sandstone or limestone) offers timeless appeal and good weather resistance when properly sealed; concrete provides strength and versatility. We recommend based on your garden’s exposure, style, and usage – all with excellent drainage to avoid puddles in rain.
How long does patio installation take?
Typically 3–10 days depending on size and complexity: groundwork/drainage 1–3 days, laying slabs 2–5 days, plus finishing/seating integration. We schedule around Lanarkshire weather for efficient, tidy progress.
How do you make seating areas practical and inviting?
-
We create functional zones with built-in benches for space-saving, fire pits to draw people together, overhead pergolas for shelter, integrated lighting for evenings, and layouts that encourage conversation (e.g., circular seating around features). Materials match the patio for cohesion, with options for weatherproof cushions or modular furniture.
What maintenance do patios and seating need?
Minimal with quality installation: occasional sweeping/hosing, sealing natural stone every few years, and checking joints. Porcelain and concrete require very little upkeep – we provide aftercare guidance to keep everything looking pristine.
