Patios Fife

D. Ritchie Groundworks & Property Maintenance

At DR Groundworks, we design and install high-quality patios for clients across Fife, combining functionality with a clean, attractive finish. Whether you're creating a space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply improving the flow between your home and garden, our patios are built with care, precision and the right groundwork beneath them. We’re based in Kirkcaldy and work throughout Fife, including Dunfermline, Glenrothes, St Andrews, Leven and surrounding areas.

With over 25 years of experience in groundworks and landscaping, we’ve installed patios in all shapes and sizes – from simple garden seating areas to large multi-level outdoor spaces. As with all our services, we prioritise solid preparation, long-lasting materials, and a finish that works with your property’s layout. We don’t take shortcuts, and all work is completed by our in-house team of experienced groundworkers and landscapers.

Every patio starts with a conversation. We’ll visit your property to understand how you use your outdoor space, what kind of finish you’re looking for, and how the patio should connect with the rest of your garden. We can create simple square or rectangular patios, curved or irregular shapes, or more complex designs incorporating steps, planters or lighting channels. Our work is always tailored to you.

We offer a wide range of materials to suit different homes and budgets. Popular choices include natural stone, sandstone, porcelain paving, textured slabs, concrete flags and block paving. We can help you choose colours and patterns that work with the existing style of your property, and we’re happy to incorporate edging, decorative features or drainage channels where needed. All materials are sourced from reliable UK suppliers, ensuring durability and consistent appearance.

The key to a long-lasting patio is proper groundwork, which is where our expertise really makes the difference. We always excavate to the correct depth, install a stable sub-base, and ensure your patio is laid on a full mortar bed or equivalent appropriate method. We check levels carefully for water run-off and stability, making sure the surface won’t sink, shift or pool with water in future. If drainage is an issue, we’ll recommend the right solution – whether that’s a soakaway, aco channel, or gentle gradient.

We’re often asked to replace older patios that have become uneven, broken or discoloured over time. We can remove old surfaces and build something fresh that enhances your outdoor space and adds long-term value to your home. We’re also happy to integrate new patios with existing features like lawns, decking, steps, or paths to keep everything flowing naturally.

At DR Groundworks, we pride ourselves on straightforward service and reliable results. We turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and make sure every detail is finished properly before we sign off. Our clients across Fife return to us time and again for this reason – and we’re always happy to provide references or examples of previous patio work if you'd like to see what we can do.

If you're planning a new patio in Fife, speak to DR Groundworks. We offer free site visits, fixed quotes, and honest advice from the start. Whether it’s a modern paved terrace or a traditional stone seating area, we’ll help you create a space you’ll enjoy for years to come.
