Hard Landscaping in Sandbach & Cheshire
Patios, paths, steps and entrances built around your property’s levels, drainage and everyday use. Hinchliffe Surfacing brings the same focus on ground preparation and specification to your outdoor spaces as we do to your driveway.
Patios and terraces
Porcelain, natural-stone and concrete paving for outdoor seating and dining areas, with preparation and bedding specified for the chosen material.
Paths, steps and entrances
Routes between your driveway, front door and garden, planned around levels, thresholds and how you move through the space.
Coordinated driveway and garden paving
When the driveway, entrance and patio are planned together, finishes, borders and levels can be considered as one scheme.
Ground preparation, levels and drainage
We review the existing ground, falls and where surface water will go before recommending the construction.
- Excavation and sub-base suited to the area’s use
- Falls set away from the house
- Drainage connections or soakaway options where required
Material selection
We explain the practical differences between materials and help you confirm colours and formats with physical samples.
Site assessment and written specification
Your proposal sets out the preparation, materials, finish, scope and exclusions in writing before work begins.
Structure First. Surface Second.
Retaining structures and substantial changes in level need assessment and appropriate design before they can be specified. Where a wall or significant level change is involved, we will explain what is needed and whether further design input is required.
Walling, edging and drainage
Coordinate paving, walling and drainage around your property’s levels and intended use. We assess the site before recommending the construction and water-management approach.
You choose the visible finishes. Buried components and engineering details are specified through the assessment and quotation.

Questions.
Can you do my driveway and patio together?
Yes. We can assess both at the same visit and set out a coordinated proposal covering preparation, levels, drainage and finishes for each area.
Do you build retaining walls?
Retaining structures and substantial level changes need assessment and appropriate design. We discuss these on site and explain what is required before anything is priced.
Do you do planting or garden maintenance?
No. Our work covers hard surfaces and the associated groundworks and drainage.
