What helps this kind of garden work last
Patio space that earns its footprint
We shape the paved area around seating, access and the way you actually use the garden.
Artificial grass on a proper base
Excavation, levelling and drainage matter if the lawn area is to stay even and tidy.
Water planned, not left to chance
Falls and drainage can be built in before the new surfaces are finished.
Create a patio that looks great and is built to last
A new patio can change how you use a garden in Bangor, but only if it is laid where the space genuinely works. We look at the route from the house, the size needed for seating and how the finished area will sit against the rest of the garden before the build starts. If the existing lawn is hard to keep tidy or turns patchy with use, artificial grass can provide a cleaner, lower upkeep area alongside the patio. With RL Paving & Construction, those visible changes are backed by the practical groundwork they need, so the finished result is not undermined by soft spots, bad levels or water hanging about where nobody wants it.


Why good drainage matters before paving or landscaping
For projects in Bangor, drainage planning is often the quiet part that makes the obvious improvements work better. Surface falls, the way water moves across the site and the relationship between hard paving and lawn areas all need thinking through early. Choosing RL Paving & Construction means the patio build, artificial grass preparation and any drainage work can be sequenced together, with access for excavation, base materials and waste removal considered from the outset. That usually saves disruption later and helps the garden stay more usable after wet weather rather than just looking smart in a dry spell.
Frequently asked questions
Can a patio and artificial grass work well together?
Yes, they often do, provided the levels, edges and drainage are planned properly. The patio should feel like part of the same layout as the lawn area, not a separate patch. Planning both together helps the garden look cleaner and function better.
Will artificial grass solve wet ground on its own?
Not on its own. If the area already holds water, the base build and drainage arrangement need to be considered during the preparation. The surface can then stay tidier and more usable, but only if the underlying issue has been dealt with sensibly.
What helps a patio feel well placed in the garden?
Usually it comes down to size, access and how it relates to the house. A patio that is too small, tucked in the wrong spot or cut off from the main route soon feels wasted. We look at how you want to sit, move and use the space before settling the layout.
