Transform your outdoor space with expertly crafted patios and driveways from Dorset Garden Services by Steve Manuel. Whether you're creating an elegant entertaining area, improving your property's kerb appeal, or replacing tired paving, our skilled team delivers exceptional results that last.
Since 1985, we've designed and installed hundreds of patios and driveways across Dorchester, Weymouth, Wareham and throughout South Dorset. Our extensive experience means we understand local conditions, know which materials perform best, and deliver outstanding results on every project.
Create the perfect outdoor living space with a professionally designed patio. From cosy seating areas to expansive entertaining spaces, we'll design a patio that enhances your property and suits your lifestyle.
We work with natural stone, Indian sandstone, porcelain, limestone, granite and block paving. We'll discuss your vision, assess the site, and recommend materials that complement your home whilst fitting your budget. Every installation is built on properly prepared foundations with effective drainage to ensure stability for decades.
Make a striking first impression with a beautifully installed driveway that combines visual appeal with practical durability. We create driveways built to withstand vehicle weight, turning movements, and British weather year after year.
Our installation includes thorough sub-base preparation, professional drainage, and careful attention to levels. Choose from block paving in various patterns, natural stone, resin-bound surfaces, or traditional gravel. We'll assess your property's requirements and explain which materials will deliver the best performance.
Full replacement isn't always necessary. Our restoration services can breathe new life into tired patios and driveways at a fraction of replacement cost.
We offer professional pressure washing, replacing damaged blocks or slabs, re-levelling settled areas, re-sanding block paving joints, applying protective sealants, and re-pointing natural stone paving. We'll inspect your existing paving and provide honest recommendations on whether restoration or replacement makes better sense.
Well-designed pathways add structure and accessibility to your garden. We create pathways using materials that harmonise with your landscape, whether you need a direct route, a winding path, or stepping stones.
Choose from natural stone, block paving, decorative gravel, traditional brick, or stepping stones. Every pathway is built with proper foundations to prevent subsidence and designed with adequate drainage.
Professional edging provides structural support, creates clean boundaries, and gives your project a polished finish. We install brick edging, concrete kerbs, decorative rope-top edging, natural stone borders, and timber or composite sleepers to suit different applications and styles.
