Slightly off-topic: Do I need a gardener, builder ...... ?
 

Hi

I need my rear patio area re-laying. I was going to do it myself but I
haven't got the time. I was hoping to get it done before now but still
haven't got around to it. Was going to have a look on Yell.com but wasn't
sure what service I needed. Do I need a builder, a landscape gardener or
what?

I'm sure either would do the job. A landscape gardener may be familiar
with a wider choice of stone, though. But many employ what are effectively
builder's labourers for this sort of work anyway.

I'm sure either would do the job. snip

So perhaps a possible answer to "what" is "whoever was used by someone
in your area whose
patio you like the look of and which has lasted one/several winters"?

Isn't a patio permanent?

How long is "permanent"? Whoever laid a patio that has lasted for the
entire life of the universe may not still be around to do the OP's one ;-)

Quite.

Some pavements end up looking a bit tatty in no time at all really - see

The block paving one I put down is permanent.. not since the rats decided to
start tunneling through the sand.
It was level, now its full of man traps.
I will have to dig it up and cast a concrete base.
