A Strong, Stylish Patio Built for Outdoor Living

A concrete patio is one of the most practical and long-lasting ways to upgrade your garden. It’s tough, low-maintenance, and perfect for seating areas, BBQ spaces, walkouts, and outdoor entertaining.

With the right preparation and finishing, concrete delivers a smooth, tidy look that holds up brilliantly in South Wales weather. It also provides excellent value compared to surfaces that shift, sink, or require constant upkeep.

Whether you want a modern clean finish or something with more texture and grip, we’ll help you choose the right option and install a patio that looks great and performs for years.

What’s Included in Our Patio Installation

⛏️

Excavation & Base Preparation

We remove old surfaces and excavate to the correct depth, then install and compact a strong sub-base. This prevents movement, pooling, and cracking, and ensures the patio stays level long-term.

🧱

Formwork & Edging

We set out clean lines with timber formwork and create strong, neat edges. Whether your patio is square, curved, or stepped, we shape it to suit your garden and access points.

🚿

Pouring, Levelling & Drainage Falls

We pour and level the slab carefully and form the correct falls so surface water runs away from your home. This helps protect your property and keeps the patio safer and drier.

🎨

Finish Options

Choose from brushed (great grip), smooth trowel (clean modern look), or exposed aggregate (decorative texture). We’ll recommend the best finish based on how you’ll use the space.

Optional Extras

Add steps, edging details, drainage solutions, expansion joints, or protective sealants. These upgrades improve longevity, reduce staining, and elevate the final look.

🕒

Efficient, Tidy Completion

Most patio installs are completed quickly depending on size and access. We work cleanly, keep disruption low, and provide clear aftercare guidance for curing and use.

Why Homeowners Across Cardiff & South Wales Choose Us

We don’t just pour concrete, we build outdoor spaces you’ll enjoy for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patios take 1 to 3 days depending on size, access, and groundwork needs. After pouring, curing matters, typically 24 to 48 hours before light foot traffic and around 7 days before heavier use or placing heavy items.

Concrete can develop minor cracking, but correct base preparation, reinforcement where required, and proper joints greatly reduce the risk. We build patios to minimise movement and improve long-term performance.

Brushed finishes are popular for slip resistance. Smooth trowel looks modern and clean, while exposed aggregate adds texture and decorative appeal. We’ll help you choose based on style, safety, and how you’ll use the space.

Routine sweeping and occasional washing keeps it looking fresh. Resealing every few years helps protect against stains, algae, and weathering. Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle, pH-neutral cleaners where possible.

Yes, we can remove old concrete, slabs, decking, or other surfaces, then excavate and prepare a proper sub-base for the new patio. Disposal and site tidy-up are included as part of the service.

Caring for Your Concrete Patio

A concrete patio is built to last, and a little simple maintenance will keep it looking its best across the seasons in Cardiff and South Wales:

🧽 Regular Cleaning

Brush away leaves and dirt to prevent staining and algae. Use a low-pressure wash and mild soap when needed. Avoid acidic products and rinse thoroughly.

🔄 Resealing

Reseal every 2–3 years depending on exposure and foot traffic. Sealers help reduce staining, slow algae growth, and protect the surface from moisture and UV.

❄️ Winter Protection

Avoid de-icing salts and harsh chemicals which can damage concrete. Use sand for grip and clear snow gently with a plastic shovel.

🪑 Protecting the Surface

Use rubber feet or pads under heavy planters and furniture to prevent marking. Clean spills quickly and avoid dragging metal legs across the surface.

Highley recommend LNS Creative Concrete. They recently completed a power floated garage floor for us. lyndon and alex were a pleasure to have on site. Their workmanship was second to none,we look forward to using them on future projects.

Power floated

Real pleasure dealing with the LNS team. They were on top of communication, quick to respond, and clear. They turned up the day before (on a Sunday!) to check everything and got the job done ahead of time the next day. Absolutely charming too. No hesitation in recommending this team

Polished concrete

Lyndon and team from LNS have just completed a fantastic concreting job on my new patio. I wanted a natural smooth power floated finish and LNS achieved exactly what I specified. Very professional approach and execution resulting in absolute excellence!
