It extends your living area beyond the back door, gives you somewhere to eat, entertain and unwind and adds genuine kerb appeal and value to your property. At Gloucester Fencing Services we design and install patios across Gloucester and the wider Gloucestershire area, using quality materials and solid, properly prepared groundwork to make sure every patio we lay looks great and stays that way.
We work with all shapes and sizes of outdoor space — from compact courtyard gardens to large open areas — and we always take the time to understand how you want to use the space before we start. The result is a patio that suits your home, fits your garden naturally and is built to handle the British weather year after year.

Our Patio Services
Patio Services We Offer Across Gloucester & Gloucestershire
Patio Installation Gloucester
A new patio starts long before the first slab goes down. Good preparation — breaking out and removing the existing surface, excavating to the right depth, compacting the sub-base and getting the levels spot on — is what determines whether a patio stays flat, stable and looking good for years or starts to rock, sink and crack after the first winter. We never rush the groundwork stage, because it’s the foundation everything else depends on.
Once the base is properly prepared, we lay your chosen material to a high standard, cutting accurately around edges and obstacles, maintaining consistent joint widths and making sure the finished surface has the correct fall for drainage. We work with all the main patio materials and will help you choose the right option for your garden, your home and your budget. Every patio we install is finished neatly, cleaned down and left ready to use.
Ideal for: Any property looking to create or upgrade an outdoor living or dining space.
Porcelain Patios Gloucester
Porcelain has become one of the most popular patio materials in the UK over the last decade, and it’s easy to understand why. It’s exceptionally hard-wearing, highly resistant to frost, staining and fading, and it comes in a huge range of colours, sizes and finishes — including options that convincingly replicate the look of natural stone, wood or concrete at a fraction of the cost.
One of the biggest practical advantages of porcelain is how little maintenance it needs. Unlike natural stone, it doesn’t need sealing, it won’t absorb moss or algae in the same way and it can be cleaned down easily with a pressure washer. For homeowners who want a premium-looking patio without the upkeep, porcelain is hard to beat.
We install porcelain patio slabs on a full mortar bed to the manufacturer’s specification, using appropriate adhesives and grouts for an outdoor installation that’s built to last. Whether you want a large-format contemporary look or something more traditional, we’ll help you find the right porcelain product for your space.
Ideal for: Homeowners wanting a low-maintenance, premium finish with a long lifespan.
Natural Stone Patios Gloucester
There’s a warmth and character to natural stone that no manufactured product can fully replicate. Whether it’s the subtle colour variation of sandstone, the cool elegance of limestone or the rich, earthy tones of Indian slate, natural stone gives a patio a genuinely premium feel that improves with age rather than deteriorating.
Natural stone works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary garden settings and tends to complement the stonework and brickwork of older Gloucestershire properties particularly well. It does require a little more care than porcelain — most natural stone benefits from periodic sealing to protect against staining and moisture — but for many homeowners the look and feel is worth it.
We source quality natural stone products and lay them properly on a full mortar bed, taking care with the jointing and making sure the finished surface is level, well-drained and genuinely impressive. If you’re considering natural stone but aren’t sure which type suits your garden, we’re happy to talk you through the options.
Ideal for: Traditional or period properties, homeowners who want a natural, characterful finish.
Block Paving Patios Gloucester
Block paving isn’t just for driveways — it’s a versatile and attractive option for patios and outdoor entertaining areas too. The individual block format gives you enormous flexibility in terms of layout and pattern, and the wide range of colours, textures and finishes available means it’s possible to create something that feels genuinely bespoke rather than off-the-shelf.
Block paving is particularly well suited to gardens where the patio needs to transition smoothly into a driveway or pathway using the same material, creating a cohesive, unified finish across the whole front or rear of the property. It’s also a practical choice because individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if underground access is ever needed, without having to break out and relay the whole surface.
We install block paving patios on a compacted sub-base with sharp sand bedding, ensuring the surface is stable, level and properly jointed. All edges are contained with suitable restraint edging to keep the blocks in place and maintain the integrity of the finished surface.
Ideal for: Homeowners wanting flexibility in design, properties where patio and driveway materials need to match.
Concrete Slabs Gloucester
Concrete slabs remain one of the most practical and cost-effective patio options available, and modern concrete products have come a long way from the plain grey slabs of previous decades. Today’s concrete paving comes in a wide range of colours, textures and finishes — including riven surfaces that mimic the look of natural stone — offering genuine visual appeal alongside the durability and affordability that concrete is known for.
For homeowners working to a tighter budget who still want a solid, attractive outdoor space, concrete slabs are an excellent choice. They’re tough, straightforward to maintain and available in sizes and styles that suit everything from a small seating area to a large garden terrace.
We lay concrete slabs on a properly prepared sub-base and mortar bed, ensuring every slab is level, accurately jointed and finished to a high standard. Even at the more affordable end of the material spectrum, the quality of the installation makes all the difference to how the finished patio looks and how long it lasts.
Ideal for: Budget-conscious homeowners wanting a durable, attractive and low-maintenance patio.
Outdoor Seating Areas Gloucester
A patio should be more than just a flat surface outside the back door — it should be a space you genuinely want to spend time in. We design and build outdoor seating and entertaining areas that make the most of your garden, incorporating features like raised sections, built-in planters, steps between levels and integrated lighting provisions to create something that feels considered and finished rather than just functional.
Whether you’re after a simple, clean area for a table and chairs or a more elaborate outdoor living space for entertaining, we’ll work with you to understand how you want to use the space and design something that delivers exactly that. The right layout, the right materials and a few well-chosen details can turn a basic patio into one of the best features of your entire property.
Ideal for: Homeowners who want to create a proper outdoor living and entertaining space.
Garden Pathways Gloucester
A well-designed pathway ties a garden together — connecting the house to the garden, the lawn to the patio, the gate to the front door — and gives the whole space a sense of structure and flow that’s hard to achieve without one. We install garden pathways in a range of materials to complement your patio and the wider garden, from matching natural stone or porcelain slabs to gravel paths with timber or steel edging and stepping stone runs through planted areas.
Every pathway we install is properly prepared with an appropriate sub-base and edging restraints to keep the surface stable and the edges clean. We’ll advise on the right width, material and finish for your garden, making sure the pathway works practically — handling foot traffic and wet weather — as well as looking exactly right.
Ideal for: Connecting different areas of the garden, improving access, adding structure and definition to the overall layout.
Patio Repairs Gloucester
Not every patio job is a brand-new installation. If your existing patio has started to sink, rock, crack or look tired, it’s often possible to repair or re-lay it without the cost and disruption of starting from scratch. Common issues like sunken slabs, failed pointing, cracked sections and poor drainage can all be addressed with targeted repair work that brings the patio back to a good standard.
In some cases the problem is with the sub-base beneath rather than the slabs themselves — particularly on older patios where the groundwork wasn’t done to a sufficient standard in the first place. Where that’s the case, we’ll lift the affected area, address the underlying issue properly and re-lay to a much better standard so the problem doesn’t recur.
If you’re not sure whether your patio needs a repair or a full replacement, we’re happy to come and take a look and give you an honest assessment with no obligation.
Ideal for: Sunken, cracked or uneven patios, failed pointing, patios with drainage problems.
Why Us
Why Choose Gloucester Fencing Services for Your Patio?
A patio is something you’ll use and look at every day, so it’s worth getting right. At Gloucester Fencing Services we take the groundwork as seriously as the finish — because a patio that’s built properly from the very start is one that stays level, stable and looking great for years to come rather than causing problems after the first hard winter.
A patio is only as good as what's underneath it. We excavate to the correct depth, compact the sub-base thoroughly and get the levels right before a single slab goes down. It's not glamorous work, but it's what separates a patio that lasts from one that starts to move and crack within a couple of years.
From porcelain and natural stone to block paving and concrete, we work with a full range of patio materials and will help you find the right option for your garden, your home and your budget. We'll show you samples, talk you through the pros and cons of each and make sure you're confident in the choice before we start.
Slab cutting, joint consistency, accurate falls for drainage, clean edging — the details matter and we pay attention to all of them. The difference between a carefully installed patio and a rushed one is visible every time you look at it.
Whether you're working with a small courtyard, a long thin garden or a large open space, we have the experience to make the most of the area you have. Awkward shapes, level changes and access constraints are all part of the job.
You'll receive a clear, itemised quote before any work begins that covers materials, labour, waste removal and everything else involved in the job. What we quote is what you pay — no additions at the end and no vague estimates.
We work cleanly and carefully, protecting your lawn, borders and existing garden features while the job is underway. Once the patio is complete, all waste, packaging and leftover materials are removed from site and your garden is left looking exactly as it should.
