1. Design Consultation:

   • Site Assessment: We begin by assessing the site, considering factors such as the layout of the property, existing landscaping, and the client's preferences and requirements.

   • Design Planning: Based on the assessment, a design plan is created to outline the placement of the patio and walkway, the type of stones to be used, and any additional features or landscaping elements.

2. Material Selection:

   • Decorative Stones: There are various types of decorative stones used for patios and walkways, including flagstone, pavers, cobblestones, slate, and more. Clients can choose stones based on their aesthetic preferences, budget, and the overall design concept.

3. Excavation and Preparation:

   • Site Preparation: The installation process begins with excavation and site preparation. This involves clearing the area, leveling the ground, and addressing drainage considerations to ensure proper water runoff.

4. Base Installation:

   • Aggregate Base: A stable and well-compacted base layer is essential for the longevity and durability of the patio and walkway. This often involves the installation of a layer of aggregate material like crushed stone or gravel.

5. Stone Installation:

   • Laying Stones: The selected decorative stones are then carefully laid according to the design plan. This may involve arranging them in a specific pattern, such as a mosaic or herringbone, to achieve the desired aesthetic.

6. Jointing and Finishing:

   • Jointing Material: The gaps between the stones are filled with jointing material, such as sand or mortar, to stabilize the stones and prevent weed growth.

   • Finishing Touches: Edging, borders, or additional features like steps and retaining walls may be incorporated to enhance the overall appearance and functionality of the patio and walkway.

7. Sealing and Maintenance:

   • Sealing: Depending on the type of stones used, a sealing application may be recommended to protect the surface and enhance color.

   • Maintenance Guidance: Professionals often provide guidance on routine maintenance, including cleaning and resealing, to ensure the longevity of the installation.
