Patio Design and Installation Across Dorset and The New Forest
What makes a garden project worth investing in?
A well-built garden feature does more than fill space, it becomes the part of your garden you actually use: mornings with coffee, evenings with friends, somewhere that works all year round. Getting there depends on what happens beneath the surface, proper preparation, groundworks and drainage that copes with a British winter, not just the finish on top.
That’s the part of the job you don’t see once it’s finished, and it’s where most of our time goes. Whatever the project, we design and build across Dorset and The New Forest to a standard that’s level, well-drained, and backed by a five-year workmanship guarantee.

Experts in Patio Design & Installation
Bamboo Landscapes designs and installs patios for homeowners across Dorset and The New Forest. We are a family-run business based in Poole, designing and building outdoor spaces across the region since 2010. Every project begins with a proper site survey and a clear patio design, so the finished result reflects how the space will genuinely be used rather than a generic layout.
Full groundworks and sub-base preparation are included as standard on every patio installation, because the strength and lifespan of any patio surface comes down to what happens beneath it. All installations come with a five-year workmanship guarantee, and materials are supplied as part of the project so quality stays consistent from start to finish.
- Full site survey and groundworks preparation included as standard
- Natural stone, porcelain and reclaimed patio tiles available to suit any garden and budget
- Five-year workmanship guarantee on every patio installation
What’s included
Patio Design Consultation
We discuss material options, layout and drainage requirements before any work begins, so the finished patio design suits both the property and how you use the space.
Groundworks & Base Preparation
Full excavation and sub-base preparation carried out to manufacturer and industry standards. Getting this stage right is the single biggest factor in how long a patio surface lasts.
Material Supply
We supply all patio materials as part of the project, from natural stone and porcelain patio tiles through to reclaimed options, with trade pricing passed on to you.
5 Year Guarantee
Every patio installation comes with a five-year workmanship guarantee, covering the finished patio against defects in installation.

PATIO FAQ’S
Patio installation cost depends on the size of the garden, the materials chosen, ground conditions and the amount of groundwork required. A full site survey is included as part of every quote, so the price reflects the actual work required rather than a generic estimate.
A standard patio project typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the area. Larger patios or multi-zone projects may take longer. A clear programme is agreed before work starts.
Planning permission is not usually required for a new patio, particularly where the surface is permeable or where drainage is properly managed. Specific requirements are confirmed during the site survey.
Porcelain is generally considered the best material for a low-maintenance patio, since porcelain patio tiles resist staining, don’t absorb water and rarely need sealing. Natural stone remains a popular alternative for its appearance, though it benefits from periodic sealing.
A sandstone patio offers warm, varied tones suited to informal, cottage-style gardens, while a limestone patio has a cleaner, more even finish that works well in contemporary settings. Porcelain patios are the lowest-maintenance option of the three, resisting staining and rarely needing sealing.
A resin patio is bonded and poured rather than laid as individual slabs or tiles, and is more commonly used for driveways than garden patios. Natural stone and porcelain remain the more popular choice for patios, and we can talk through how these options compare with resin during a consultation.
In some cases, yes, provided the existing base is in good condition and at a suitable depth. The ground is always assessed first. Where the existing base is not suitable, lifting and relaying is recommended to ensure a lasting result.
Yes. Alongside patio installation we offer wider patio landscaping, helping turn a neglected or outdated garden into a functional, attractive outdoor space that works with the new patio design.
