Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Finchley
In Finchley and across Barnet we are most often asked for garden landscaping and patios. Finchley, Golders Green and East Finchley have Edwardian houses and terraces, and Hampstead Garden Suburb is a planned Arts and Crafts neighbourhood of cottages and larger houses. Hendon, Edgware and Mill Hill are largely inter-war semis and detached homes, Totteridge has very large houses in a rural setting, and Colindale has many new apartment blocks.
Patios & Gardens in Finchley
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

Planning and the council
Hampstead Garden Suburb has some of the strictest controls in London, with a trust whose consent is needed in addition to the council's for most external changes. Elsewhere, Green Belt in the north and clay soil with mature trees are the main things to check before extending.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Finchley
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Finchley?
Yes. Finchley is in Barnet, where we work every week alongside Hendon, Golders Green, Edgware and Mill Hill.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
