RHS Award Winning Garden Design & Landscaping Services In Hampshire.
Patios in Gosport
Gosport gardens are flat, open and take the Solent wind, which changes where a patio should go as much as what it is made of. Helyers of Hampshire design and build patios across Gosport – and we will usually talk about shelter and screening before we talk about slabs.
Getting the Position Right on an Exposed Plot
A beautiful patio in the wrong place on the Gosport peninsula is a patio nobody sits on, because the wind funnels straight across it. We look at where the shelter actually is – often not directly against the house – and design in screening or planting so the space is genuinely usable.
Patio Materials We Lay
- Porcelain – dense, frost-proof and low-maintenance, with almost no fading
- Indian sandstone – warm natural stone, riven or sawn finish
- Limestone & slate – contemporary, even colour and a crisp edge
- Block paving – hard-wearing and easy to repair in sections
- Steps, edges and retaining – built in where levels change
- Full sub-base and falls – compacted base, correct drainage falls, sealed joints
For patio-only projects, our specialist sister site Hampshire Patio Services covers paving in more depth. This page is for patios designed and built as part of your wider garden.

Common Questions
Where should a patio go on a windy plot?
Not automatically against the house. We look at where the shelter really is and often add screening or planting to make the space usable.
What paving copes best with salt air?
Porcelain – it is dense, frost-proof and does not absorb salt-laden water.
Can you add screening or a pergola?
Yes – shelter is often what makes an exposed Gosport patio work, and we build it in.
Are you local?
Yes – we are minutes away in Fareham.
