RHS Award Winning Garden Design & Landscaping Services In Hampshire.
Patios in Chichester
From walled city gardens to open plots out towards the harbour, Helyers of Hampshire design and build patios across the Chichester area. We are a garden design practice as well as a landscaping team, so the terrace is planned as part of the garden rather than bolted on.
Patios for Period and Coastal-Plain Gardens
Two very different jobs here. In the city it is usually a walled garden where the paving has to suit an older property and work in a confined, often shaded space. Out on the coastal plain the ground is low-lying and can stay wet, so the sub-base, falls and where the water actually goes matter more than the slab you choose.
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
What paving suits a period Chichester property?
Natural stone usually sits best with older brick and flint. We will show you options against the actual building.
The ground stays wet. Is that a problem?
It is manageable, but it makes the sub-base and drainage design the most important part of the job.
Can you pave a small walled garden?
Yes – enclosed courtyards are some of our favourite projects.
Do you cover the harbour villages?
Yes – Bosham, Fishbourne, Emsworth and the surrounding area.
Also in Chichester: landscaping, fencing and artificial grass.
