Patio

Patios continue to be a very common way of creating functional outdoor spaces which can be used for entertaining, dining, or simply to enhance the appeal of your garden. Patios are constructed from block or slab paving and can come in a large variety of colours, patterns and designs. Patios can be laid in either random course patterns where the pattern is varied, or in repeating patterns that have a consistent effect. Patios are extremely hard wearing and demand hardly any maintenance, only occasional cleaning to retain the natural beauty of the stone. Patios are often installed in locations where patio or French doors can open directly out onto them as this results in a smooth transition between the inside and outside spaces.Patios come in a wide selection of colours and types of stone. Give some thought to including a different colour and kind of stone to either inlay a stylish design or as edging to emphasise the shape of your patio. It is important to consider the use of your patio when planning it and measure precisely to ensure that any furniture will fit the intended space. Professional patio and paving companies will be able to design you a patio that perfectly meets your requirements and creates an outdoor area that is useful as well as beautiful.
