Patio Paradise

With an increasing interest in patio gardens, there has never been a better time to create a beautiful area at the rear of your house – and it’s something that will also enhance the value for your home.

To make the best use of the space that you have and provide a family area for entertaining, you can easily create a simple patio with the right paving products.

“To create a contemporary Mediterranean concept we recommend our Natural Aggregate Flag range. With its sharp lines and refined colours it gives an area a bright and open feel. Complimentary areas, features, or path ways etc could be done with Plaza which has a fresh, crisp look and a non-slip surface, while Regal Stone walling is perfect for an enclosed entertaining area. Modern and contemporary in appearance, it’s the ideal choice when building walls and is suitable for both straight and curved retaining walls around the home. Create some flower beds for impact, add some outdoor lighting, and if you opt for a raised bed, the  wall itself can be used as seating area.

If you prefer a more traditional setting in which to relax then the rustic cottage concept is what you should take your inspiration from. Our new Manor Stone is an ideal product to compliment the more mature building and surrounding area. With its rustic courtyard pattern and timeless colour blends it can either set a tone or marry into an existing area. Complimentary areas, features, or path ways etc could be done with Strada, a rustic, textured stone in soft colours, best used in smaller spaces.

Again, if you wish to complement this with some walling, we would recommend our Aspen range, with its classic stone appearance. Use it to define areas while creating a natural flow and direction around a garden.
