Patio Construction in Shercock, Built to Last

We know Shercock. The ground here holds water after a wet spell, so a patio needs a proper base. You want a space that stays level, drains well, and looks good for years. That’s what we deliver. We dig deep, lay hardcore, and compact every layer. The result? A smooth, solid patio you can use straight away. No sinking slabs, no puddles. We handle every step from start to finish.
Our Patio Building Process in Shercock

We start with a site visit. We check the soil, the slope, and how the patio will sit against your house. Then we dig out the topsoil to the right depth. For a patio in Shercock, that usually means at least 150mm of hardcore. We often work alongside a fence contractor in Shercock to coordinate boundaries and levels. This keeps everything neat. Once the base is down and compacted, we lay a sharp sand screed. Then the paving goes in. We cut slabs on site for a tight fit. Finally, we brush in kiln-dried sand to lock the joints.
Materials and Options for Your Patio
We offer a range of paving materials. Indian sandstone gives a natural look with subtle colour variation. Porcelain tiles are tough and easy to clean. Concrete block paving is economical and strong. For a premium finish, try granite cobbles. Each material needs a different laying technique, and we know how to handle them all. The same approach works for patio construction in Cavan Town and anywhere in the county.
- Indian sandstone, rich colours, non-slip finish
- Porcelain, low maintenance, stain resistant
- Concrete pavers, budget friendly, high strength
- Granite cobbles, hard wearing, classic look

Common questions about patio construction in Shercock

A typical patio takes two to five days, depending on size and weather. We don’t pour concrete in the rain, but we’ll work around it.
Do you supply the materials or do I buy them?

Will my patio need planning permission?

Do you seal the slabs after laying?
We can seal natural stone to protect against stains and moss. Sealing is optional and adds a day to the job. We’ll recommend it if needed.
