OUR TOP 10 DESIGN TIPS...
1. Always keep your objectives in mind
When you stay focused on exactly why you’ve given yourself the green light on your project, you’ll be able to stay on track and keep a tighter rein on your budget.
2. Patio positioning and privacy
Think about where the sun is at different times of the day in your garden and whether there’s any view you want to be able to enjoy.
3. ink about size
It’s also worth checking whether the furniture you want ts the area with plenty of room to walk around too.
4 Have you considered zonal spaces?
Split levels with stepped areas can create separate zones for you to experiment with planting or use for different activities.
5. Suit your style
Choose something which works for you, and your home. Contemporary paving will probably suit modern homes better than period properties – which will favour traditional styles.
6. Set a budget
Set a limit of what you’re prepared to spend and stick to it. But don’t forget to factor in the cost of a professional installer if you’re going to use one – plus other expenses like new planting or furniture.
7. ink about design
Check out the latest design trends online or in magazines.
A quick tip: indoor/outdoor living is still big. Porcelain is the ‘in’ material. And concrete is now widely used to give some rugged industrial chic.
8. Don’t forget drainage or access
If you’re installing everything yourself, take some time to consider access to your property, trees and drainage. A Bradstone Assured installer will ensure all groundwork and building regulations are covered.
9. Plan it out rst
Even if you just put together a basic drawing of what you’re hoping to create, that will help. There’s a page at the back of this brochure where you can sketch out your plans. Use our online Paving Planner to bring your plans to life.
10. Choosing materials
Will you choose concrete, natural stone or porcelain? Each one will help create a completely different look, so get to know the advantages they each have.
