Patio & Paving Bases
Using G-CORE
A clean, stable and low-dig foundation for patios, paving slabs and outdoor living areas.
G-CORE is a modular base system designed to support patio slabs, porcelain tiles, natural stone, and landscaped paving surfaces without the need for deep excavation or bulk hardcore.
It creates a stable, load-spreading base for patios, courtyards, seating areas, and paved garden spaces while helping reduce excavation depth, material handling, and on-site disruption.
Designed for modern landscaping and construction projects across the UK and worldwide.
Typical Patio & Paving Build Up
A visual concept showing how G-CORE supports slabs, stone, porcelain, and paving systems within patios and outdoor living areas.
Provides stable support for slabs, stone, porcelain, and paving finishes in patios and outdoor seating areas.
Helps reduce excavation and simplify installation compared with traditional patio base construction.
Why Choose G-CORE?
A modular patio and paving base system designed for stability, speed, and reduced disruption across landscaping and outdoor living projects.
Reduced Excavation
Helps minimise digging depth compared with many traditional patio and paving build-ups.
Cleaner Construction Process
Less spoil, less mess, and reduced aggregate handling around landscaped areas.
Fast Modular Installation
Click-together panels support quicker installation and cleaner progress on site.
Free-Draining Support
Supports water movement through the build-up beneath patio slabs and paved surfaces.
Stable Paving Base
Creates a consistent support layer beneath slabs, stone, porcelain, and patio finishes.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for patios, courtyards, seating areas, paved terraces, and linked outdoor spaces.
Why Patio Foundations Matter
Patios and paved outdoor areas only perform as well as the base beneath them. If the support is uneven, weak, or poorly prepared, the finished surface can move, sink, or lose its visual quality over time.
Traditional patio construction often relies on deeper excavation, imported aggregate, and repeated compaction. G-CORE provides a cleaner and more controlled alternative by creating a modular load-spreading base that can support slabs, stone, and paving installations with less bulk material and reduced disruption on site.
Uneven Slabs & Paving
Poor support beneath the surface can lead to rocking slabs, settlement, and visible movement across the patio.
Excess Excavation
Traditional build-ups can require deeper digging, more spoil removal, and higher material volumes.
Slow Installation
Layered patio construction can take longer to build and increase labour on landscaping projects.
How G-CORE Works?
The G-CORE system forms a rigid, load-spreading base between prepared ground and the finished patio surface. The result is a stable foundation that supports paving and outdoor use with less bulk material than many traditional methods.
1
Prepare the ground
Clear and level the formation to suit the patio layout, finished levels, and paving design.
2
Click panels together
Lay G-CORE panels in rows, locking them together to create a continuous base across the patio or paved area.
3
Add bedding layer
Apply sand or a suitable bedding material depending on the slab, tile, or stone specification.
4
Install the finished surface
Lay paving slabs, porcelain, natural stone, or other specified patio finishes to complete the area.
Where G-CORE Can Be Used
Designed for landscaping applications where surface stability, cleaner installation, and a durable patio base are important.
Garden Patios
Creates a reliable base for patios and outdoor living spaces in residential landscapes.
Porcelain Patio Areas
Useful below porcelain and decorative paving installations where finished levels and support matter.
Outdoor Seating Areas
Suitable for entertaining spaces, dining areas, and paved zones around the home or garden.
Landscape Paving
Can be used within designed outdoor spaces, communal areas, and soft landscaping projects.
Courtyards & Terraces
Supports paved courtyards, terraces, and enclosed outdoor spaces requiring a stable foundation.
Linked Outdoor Spaces
Suitable for connecting patios, steps, walkways, and paved garden features with consistent foundation quality.
Technical Benefits
Even load distribution
Helps spread use loads across the surface and reduce movement beneath slabs and paving units.
Improved ground stability
Creates a more consistent base across the full patio or paved area.
Flexible build-up options
Compatible with slabs, stone, porcelain and other specified paving finishes.
Reduced material requirement
Can reduce the need for deeper sub-base layers and bulk imported aggregate on site.
