Patio costs vary more than people expect, mostly because of material choice and ground preparation. Here's what genuinely affects the price of a new patio in Wedmore.
What Determines the Price
The size of the patio, the material you choose, and the condition of the ground underneath are the three biggest factors. A patio laid over a stable, level base costs less than one requiring excavation, levelling or drainage work.
Cost Factors to Consider
- Material choice — porcelain typically costs more than Indian sandstone or concrete paving
- Groundwork — excavation, levelling and a new sub-base add to the overall price
- Size and shape — intricate layouts or curves take longer to lay than simple rectangles
- Edging and borders — decorative detailing adds a finishing touch at extra cost
- Drainage — proper falls and drainage are essential and factored into every quote
Comparing Material Costs
As a general guide, concrete paving tends to be the most budget-friendly option, Indian sandstone offers a natural look at a mid-range price, and porcelain sits at the premium end thanks to its durability and low maintenance.
