Tegula Patio | Harlow, Essex
Project Date: 4th September 2024
Location: Harlow, Essex
Client: Private Homeowner
Project Type: Tegula Block Paving Patio Installation
This project involved the transformation of an old, worn-out patio area into a beautifully designed and functional outdoor space using Tegula block paving. The homeowner wanted to create an inviting patio space that would not only enhance the aesthetics of their garden but also provide a durable and practical area for outdoor use.
The objective was to replace the existing uneven slabs with Tegula blocks, known for their robust quality and traditional appearance, perfect for adding character to any home’s outdoor area.
The Process:
Removal of Existing Pathway:
The existing garden path was made up of stepping stones set into gravel, which had become uneven over time. We began by removing the old stepping stones and clearing the ground to prepare for the installation of the new resin bound footpath.
Initial Groundworks:
The project started by removing the existing patio slabs, which were damaged and no longer suitable for long-term use. Once the area was cleared, we prepared the ground for the new patio by ensuring a solid sub-base was in place. This step ensures the longevity and stability of the new Tegula block paving.
Levelling & Drainage Installation:
Proper levelling of the ground was essential to ensure that the new patio was even and had adequate water drainage. A drainage system was installed alongside the patio to prevent any water build-up near the house, ensuring the space remains functional in all weather conditions.
Tegula Block Laying:
The Tegula block paving was laid in a pattern that complements the garden’s design, with careful attention to the layout to ensure a seamless and professional finish. The blocks were installed with precision, ensuring a smooth, level surface ideal for outdoor seating, entertaining, or simply relaxing.
Edging and Step Installation:
A small step was built from the patio to the back doors using matching blocks to create a uniform look. The edges of the patio were also framed neatly to give the area a finished, clean appearance, while maintaining a natural look that blends well with the garden’s aesthetic.
Finishing Touches:
After completing the block laying, kiln-dried sand was swept into the joints to lock the blocks in place and ensure long-term stability. The area was thoroughly cleaned, and any final adjustments were made to ensure the patio was perfect and ready for use.
Conclusion:
This Tegula Patio Project in Harlow has given the homeowner a beautiful, practical outdoor space that can be enjoyed for years to come. The high-quality Tegula blocks combined with the expert craftsmanship have resulted in a patio that is both durable and stylish, offering the perfect space for outdoor activities.
