Your slab choice, access and groundwork determine the written quote for your garden. Request a free site visit ## A starting budget, not a fixed quotation If you are planning a new patio in Wellington or elsewhere in Somerset, the first useful question is how much space you want to pave. Harbour Grove’s published guide is £130–£180 per square metre. That gives you an initial way to think about the budget before choosing slabs or arranging a visit. It is our own guide price, not a claim about what every landscaper in Somerset charges. Two gardens with the same patio area can need different amounts of work. One may have straightforward access and a simple layout; another may need more excavation, awkward cuts, steps or changes to the surrounding levels. The figures below do not decide which applies to your home. We confirm the price after a free site visit and provide an itemised written quote. ## Illustrative patio budgets by size These examples are simply area multiplied by our guide rate. They are not actual project costs, offers or quotations, and they do not establish a fixed package of included work. Use them to compare possible patio sizes, then ask us to price the details of your site.

At the published guide rate, the calculation is £2,600–£3,600. Those dimensions are an example only, not a recommended size for every garden. A seating area, path and steps may need to be measured separately so the written scope reflects what you actually want built. ## What affects your patio quote? ### Slab choice and the layout The quality of the slab you choose affects the price. Our patio service covers porcelain, natural sandstone and limestone, as well as block paving and setts. This guide does not assign separate prices to those materials because we do not have confirmed material-by-material rates to publish. If you are deciding between finishes, ask for the specific options to be priced within the same layout, rather than compare unrelated headline figures. ### Access, excavation and groundwork Access to the garden and the complexity of the groundwork are part of the assessment. The amount of digging out and spoil removal can differ between sites, and machinery access is one of the factors considered in our patio quotes. Explain any narrow side passage or restricted access when you enquire. It helps us understand the site, but it does not replace seeing and measuring it. ### Steps, edges and surrounding features A patio can be more than a rectangle of paving. Steps, walls, edging and connections to other garden surfaces can form part of the job. Agree which features are in the scope before comparing prices. A quote for paving alone should not be treated as equivalent to a quote that also addresses changes in level or surrounding structures. We price work element by element so you can see those distinctions. ## What should you look for in the written quote? Our patio information describes an itemised quote covering the relevant elements of the work: excavation, muck away, sub-base, bedding, slabs, jointing, edging and steps. Not every project needs the same list. Read the scope for your own garden instead of assuming the square-metre guide includes every possible extra. Ask us to clarify anything you cannot match to the plan discussed at the site visit. If you want to adjust the budget, discuss changes to the area, material or scope before anything is ordered. An element-by-element quote lets you see what is changing, rather than relying on a single total with no explanation. We have not stated a VAT treatment, a fixed waste-removal allowance or a universal list of extras in this guide; those details should be confirmed in your written quote, not guessed from the examples. For the construction details and more photographs, visit our patios and paving service page. This guide is about planning the cost; that page explains the work itself. ## Our patio work These are photographs from our supplied work gallery. No project price is attached to them: the budget examples above are calculations, not the cost of either pictured job. You can see more finished surfaces and garden details on our Our Work page. ## Getting a confirmed price and agreeing payment We are based in Wellington, Somerset, and offer free site visits and quotes. We usually turn a quote around within a week. More involved projects can take longer while we wait for supplier pricing, so the guide is not a promise of a quotation by a fixed date. Tell us the rough area, the finish you are considering and any other work you want included when you get in touch. Every job comes with a written contract signed by both parties. Payment is by bank transfer. Standard jobs use a 50% deposit with the balance due on completion; larger projects over £25,000 are structured differently and agreed in advance. Your own contract and quote are the documents to use when deciding whether to proceed, not an illustrative budget from this page. ## Patio cost questions How much does a patio cost per square metre?Harbour Grove’s guide price is £130–£180 per m². The slab quality, access and complexity of the groundwork affect your quote. This is our guide, not a Somerset-wide average or a fixed price for every garden. What is an illustrative budget for a 20 m² patio?Multiplying 20 m² by our £130–£180 per m² guide gives £2,600–£3,600. This is a calculation for planning, not the price of a completed project or a quotation. A free site visit is needed to confirm the scope and cost. Are porcelain and sandstone priced separately in this guide?No. We have not published separate confirmed rates for each material. Ask us to quote the slabs you are considering rather than assume either material has a fixed price per square metre. Is the site visit free?Yes. Site visits and quotes are free. We usually turn a quote around within a week; more involved projects can take longer while we wait for supplier pricing. How does payment work?Payment is by bank transfer. Standard jobs use a 50% deposit with the balance due on completion. Larger projects over £25,000 are structured differently and agreed in advance. Every job has a written contract signed by both parties.
