A patio is a great way to extend your living space outdoors, and in Canterbury, many homeowners choose patios to make better use of their gardens throughout the year. From older properties near the city walls to newer developments in South Canterbury, a well-built patio adds both practicality and visual appeal to your home.
At Pro Resin & Paving, we specialise in creating outdoor spaces that are as durable as they are beautiful. Whether you are looking for a traditional natural stone finish or a sleek, modern porcelain look, we ensure your patio is built to the highest standards.

Local Considerations in Canterbury
In some parts of Canterbury, garden levels, drainage, and ground conditions need careful planning. Taking the time to prepare the base properly helps ensure the patio remains stable and comfortable to use long-term. We are familiar with local requirements and can offer guidance on garden works in line with Canterbury City Council planning considerations where necessary.
"I cannot overstate the appreciation we have for George and his company, Pro Resin and Paving. Having provided a very competitive quotation, we worked with George to design and source the paving for our driveway."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a patio in Canterbury?
In most cases you do not need planning permission for a patio in Canterbury, because patios normally fall under Permitted Development. Permission can be required in certain situations, for example if the patio is raised more than 300mm above ground level, or if your property is a Listed Building or sits within a Conservation Area, which applies to parts of the city. We are happy to advise based on your specific property and can offer guidance in line with Canterbury City Council planning considerations where necessary. If in doubt we recommend checking before work begins, and we will point you in the right direction during your free site visit.
How long does patio installation take?
Installing a typical patio in Canterbury takes roughly a few days to about a week, depending on the size of the area, access, the materials chosen and the amount of groundwork required. A compact, straightforward patio is often completed within a few days, while larger projects involving extensive excavation, levelling or drainage can take closer to a week. As a family-run team with over 30 years of experience covering Kent, we set out a realistic timescale in your written quotation before starting, so there are no surprises.
