Patio

Patios remain a very popular method of creating functional outdoor spaces that can be used for entertaining, dining, or simply to enhance the appeal of your garden. Patios are built from block or slab paving and are available in a large range 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 extremely hard wearing and require minimal maintenance, only periodic cleaning to protect 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 seamless transition between the inside and outside spaces. Patios come in a huge range of colours and types of stone. Give some thought to introducing a different colour and type of stone to either inlay a stylish design or as edging to highlight the shape of your patio. It is important to consider the use of your patio when planning it and measure precisely to be sure that any furniture fits the intended space. Specialist patio and paving companies will be able to design you a patio that perfectly meets your needs and creates an outdoor area that is functional as well as beautiful.
