Patio

Patios remain an extremely popular method of creating functional outdoor spaces which you can use for entertaining, dining, or just to enhance the appeal of your garden. Patios are built from block or slab paving and can come in an enormous variety of colours, patterns and designs. Patios can be laid in either random course patterns where the pattern is varied, or in repeating patterns which have a consistent effect. Patios are particularly hard wearing and demand hardly any maintenance, only periodic cleaning to preserve the natural beauty of the stone. Patios are generally installed in locations where patio or French doors can open directly out onto them as this causes 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 an elegant design or as edging to emphasise the shape of your patio. It is important to consider the use of your patio when designing it and measure precisely to be sure that any furniture will fit the intended space. Experienced patio and paving companies will be able to design you a patio that perfectly fulfills your needs and creates an outdoor area that is useful as well as beautiful.
