If you’re near the River Great Ouse, Ramsey Road or Houghton Road, patio enquiries are covered across St Ives. Tell us the garden size, what’s down there now and how it drains. We’ll schedule a survey at your home and quote each stage: excavation, sub-base, bedding and paving. Near the River Great Ouse, gardens can sit on silty clay; higher ground around town has river-terrace gravel and sand. If you’re worried about slabs sinking or rainwater collecting, the ground survey comes before material advice. The specification includes falls away from the house and ACO channel drains where needed. ## Questions we get in St Ives ### Does ground near the River Great Ouse affect my patio plans? Yes. Riverside ground can contain alluvial silty clay, while higher ground around St Ives has river-terrace gravel and sand. The ground survey comes before advice on paving materials. ### What other areas do you cover?
