Landscaping Price Guide 2026

How much does a patio cost in the UK?

One of the most common questions we get is: "How much will my new patio cost?" In 2026, the cost of a patio installation in London varies depending on the material and the condition of the existing ground.

• Porcelain Paving: £120 - £180 per m² (Installed)
• Indian Sandstone: £90 - £140 per m² (Installed)

Porcelain is slightly more expensive due to the specialist cutting equipment and priming required, but its longevity and stain resistance make it a better long-term investment.

Fencing Costs per Metre

For privacy and security, we recommend high-quality timber or slatted panels.

• Standard Closeboard Fencing: £80 - £110 per metre
• Cedar Slatted Fencing: £150 - £220 per metre

Slatted fencing provides a modern, architectural look that lets light through while maintaining privacy.

Composite Decking vs Timber Cost

While timber decking is cheaper upfront, it requires annual oiling and maintenance. Composite decking (like Millboard or Trex) is virtually maintenance-free.

• Softwood Decking: £100 - £150 per m²
• Premium Composite Decking: £180 - £250 per m²
