Owner
Quiet work, done properly
Hardexia is built on long experience in construction and outdoor work. The owner, Stas, visits each plot himself to assess the ground, the access and the house — before anything is quoted.
- Set out with care
- SuDS-aware drainage
- £5m public liability
- Checked before handover
- British-made systems where we can
- One team, one finish
Outdoor work, specified properly
Resin, block paving, porcelain, brickwork, decking, lighting and drainage — specified to the plot.
Resin bound driveways
Permeable stone aggregate on a rebuilt sub-base. Quiet underfoot, kind to rainwater, suited to houses that should not look newly done.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Low-glare lighting for paths, trees and dining terraces — specified so the garden works after dark without looking like a car park.
Porcelain patios
Large-format porcelain or British stone, laid to falls, designed around how you actually sit outside.
Retaining walls
Garden walls that hold ground as well as they match the house. Engineering where it is needed; facing brick where it is seen.
Tell us the finish you have in mind. We will specify the right system.
- Chosen for the house, not a catalogue
- Built to add kerb appeal
- Specified to how you use the garden
- Sub-base, falls and edges first
- Programmed around weather and access
- Details that belong to the plot
Before and after
Photographs from plots we have finished. The earlier state is shown beside the finished work.
Workmanship you can measure
Most of our work is for houses, not housing estates. We plan the levels, the water and the edges first — then the surface you actually see.
The driveway was rebuilt properly — excavation, drainage and a resin finish that still looks calm after a winter of parking. Communication was plain and the site was left tidy.
What clients say
We wanted a patio that suited an older house, not a showroom. Porcelain on a solid base, brick steps, and lighting that does not shout. It feels like it has always been there.
The old tarmac was pulling water towards the house. They rebuilt the sub-base, put in a linear drain, and finished in resin. It still looks calm after a winter of school runs.

We wanted a patio that sat with the house, not a showroom. Porcelain on a proper base, brick steps, and the site left tidier than we expected.
James P.
The garden was unusable after dark. Path lights and a couple of uplights on the trees — nothing shouty. Neighbours have asked who did it.

Why homeowners choose Hardexia
We do not start with a colour chart. We start with how you use the garden, where the water goes, and what the house can carry. Then we specify the surface.
The quotation is written to the ground in front of us, not to a standard package. If the sub-base is tired, we say so. If the falls run the wrong way, we correct them before a single bag of resin is opened.
Experienced installers
The same crews lay resin, paving and brickwork week in, week out. This is not a general builder squeezing in a driveway.
Specified materials
The resin, porcelain, brick and drainage are named on the quotation. What is written is what arrives on site.
Programmed, not rushed
A weather window and a written sequence. We do not pour resin on a wet Thursday because the diary is full.
Design before we dig
Levels, falls and how the garden meets the house are agreed first. Colour charts come after that.
Questions we are asked most
Straightforward answers about driveways, patios and landscaping in Shropshire, the West Midlands and Cheshire. If your question is not here, send the form.
What outdoor work do you take on?
We install resin bound surfaces, block paving, porcelain and natural stone patios, retaining walls, brickwork, composite and timber decking, outdoor LED lighting, and SuDS-aware drainage.
Do you quote without obligation?
Yes. A free quotation starts with photographs and a postcode. Where the work is substantial we visit the plot before we price it.
How long does a typical project take?
A typical driveway or patio is measured in days to a couple of weeks, once materials are on site. Groundworks, curing and weather can extend that. You get a programme with the quotation.
Do you help choose materials and laying patterns?
Yes. We will suggest laying patterns, stone colours and edge details that sit with the house — including older properties — without making the garden look dated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Workmanship is guaranteed in writing with the quotation. Product warranties follow the manufacturer — resin, porcelain and composite each differ, and we explain that before you buy.
Do you work on commercial plots?
Most of our clients are private homes. We also take on small commercial plots, pubs and courtyard work where the same outdoor standards apply.
Do you take up the old surface first?
Yes. We excavate failed surfaces, dispose of arisings, and rebuild the sub-base. A new topping on a tired base is how driveways fail early.
What areas do you serve?
We work across Shropshire, the West Midlands and Cheshire — including Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Telford. Send the postcode if you are just outside that and we will say yes or no quickly.
