Your patio, ready for everyday living
Solid bases, tidy delivery, fewer surprises
A patio that makes life easier
When a terrace wobbles, puddles or dates your garden, the culprit is usually the base, not the slabs. Get the foundations right and your patio stays level, dry and good-looking for years, lifting kerb appeal the moment someone sees your outdoor space and helping to protect the value of your home. Choose porcelain for low maintenance, sandstone for natural character, or cost-savvy concrete; whichever you prefer, it’s laid on a robust sub-base with discreet drainage and crisp detailing, so you enjoy a clean, long-lasting finish that’s easy to live with and attractive to future buyers.
You want clean lines, quick cleaning and safe footing in all weathers, which calls for proper levels, firm edges and joints that resist weeds and wash-out. With T&K Humphrey Ltd, Groundworks and Landscaping you get one plan, one team and a result that improves how you live day to day while smartening the first impression of your property, an upgrade that looks the part now and can pay you back when it’s time to sell. Straight quotes, considerate working and realistic timelines.
A Patio You’ll Use Every Day
You get a rebuild from the ground up: a properly compacted sub-base, subtle falls that carry water to drainage, and firm edge restraint. Slip-resistant finishes are chosen for how your space gets sun and shade, so surfaces feel secure and stay looking sharp.
Your thresholds are protected and set to the correct heights, with damp-proof courses respected and step rises consistent. New work ties neatly into existing paths and lawns, no trip lips, no puddle traps, so the finish is seamless, easier to live with and simpler to maintain.
Seamless, durable finishes
Porcelain, sandstone or concrete, whichever you choose, your patio is set out true to line and level. Joints stay consistent and tight for a crisp, tailored look, and each slab is bedded and primed correctly so nothing rocks, drifts or sags as the seasons change.
Drainage is woven into the design, subtle falls, discreet channels and neatly positioned gully points, so water moves away without visual clutter. The result is quiet, robust performance: a patio that drains quickly, resists staining and stays easy to live with day to day.
Local relevance
Shaded gardens in Haslemere and Chiddingfold benefit from textured porcelain. Heavier showers in Petersfield call for well-planned falls and channels. Guildford’s slopes may need steps or small terraces; clay-heavy pockets around Godalming demand sound sub-bases. Across Farnham, Liss, Liphook and Midhurst we tailor the patio to the ground and how you use it.

EXCELLENT Based on 15 reviews Posted on Google Robert Games3 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update: We recently had T&K HUMPHREY LTD for a second Job, to lay a new patio as we were so pleased with their pevious work they did for us - And again they were excellent - Competitively priced (not the cheapest, but by far the best value), kept great communication and did an amazing Job, leaving the site spotless. I can highly recommend them, an absolute delight to work with. --- We were very happy with the recent work carried out by T & K Humphrey. They built an Oak Sleeper retaining wall in our garden which we are delighted with. The team were really friendly, professional and hard working. T & K Humphrey have been a pleasure to work from start to finish. They offered us great advice along the way, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Greg2 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had Jon and Tim to re-landscape our garden comprising a large expanse of lawn that had particularly poor drainage. From the beginning, Jon and Tim were very professional and easy to communicate with. We ended up having the central lawn dug up and drainage placed into our soak away along with new top soil and lawn placed - this was a last minute decision that they easily accommodated. Along with that, we wanted gravel areas around this with paving next to one of our garden rooms. Jon and Tim worked extremely hard and the project was completed in 3 weeks. We were worried the garden works would be extremely messy work, especially given it was February but they kept everywhere very clean and tidy and cleaned down everything at the end. Jon and Tim were great to work with, very thorough and genuinely nice people! Plus after receiving other quotes at the beginning, they were also very reasonably priced. We’d highly recommend them and would use them for any other garden/ grounds work needed. Now for us to start adding plants! Thank youPosted on Google Gavin Myers23 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class work from T&K Humphrey, couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We had foundations laid for a two story extension. Communication was great on all aspects of the build, all services were coordinated and punctual. They left the site immaculate and were flexible throughout. I would highly recommend if you want your work done, on time, to spec with an experienced team. Lovely fellas too!Posted on Google Kate Underhay12 September 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and John interpreted my brief perfectly and the end result exceeded my expectations. Their work has completely transformed my house and it was carried out quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption or mess. The loveliest people to deal with. I am delighted. Thank you.Posted on Google Simon Banks16 May 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't recommend Jon, Tim and their team highly enough after recently completing our landscaping project in Haslemere. It has been a real pleasure working with them. The project involved clearing and major levelling works, which involved 21 grab lorry movements of soil removal and building a retaining structure comprising approx 150 vertical oak sleepers. In addition, laying new turf and the installation of drainage beneath the new lawn, tree felling and relocating numerous shrubs to the perimeter of the garden, levelling a section of patio and installing a new pond. Everything was completed to the highest standard and the team worked professionally and efficiently throughout, completing the work in the time quoted and despite wet weather, keeping the site tidy at all times. Nothing was ever too much to ask. From our first meeting and introduction to Tim and Jon, when we discussed the brief we got a good feeling about the friendly yet professional approach and we would have no hesitation recommending them to others and working with them again.Posted on Google Laura Barnett1 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are BEYOND thrilled with the works T&K Humphrey completed for us on our new build in Haslemere, Surrey. This included the complete groundwork’s package for the new house, grubbing up the existing drive and hard standings, installing all new external finishes including permeable block paved drive way with granite setts border, porcelain tiled patio area and surrounding paths, sleeper retaining walls and steps to a split level rear garden, as well as soft landscaping including spread and level of topsoil and turf finishes to some areas. Tim, John, Tiny and Micky have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the build. The attention to detail, professionalism and communication has been absolutely top notch! They played a major part in us achieving our build on programme and on budget 👌🏼 We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend T & K Humphrey to anyone and everyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Google vambo deckard30 September 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
