Patios and terraces are a great extension to any home and will greatly increase the use of the garden, often providing an essential link between indoor and outdoor areas. They can give easy access for children, wheelchairs, prams and older people. A level area for relaxing, entertaining, or viewing the garden, all you need is the sun!

All the paving that we install is laid on a wet mix and the joints are pointed by hand. This gives a very professional finish and means that no moss or weeds will grow through the cracks, making it easy to maintain.

• Reclaimed paving of a good quality is getting difficult to source. This type of paving suits older property, as shown in thepicture top left. The customer wanted some paving re-laid and the area of paving extending.
• Indian paving is natural stone and comes in a variety of different finishes and colours as shown in picture top right. The supplier that we use states that all their Indian products are ethically sourced. Indian stone is much cheaper than locally quarried stone.
• Locally quarried stone comes in a variety of types and colours, we do not use it very often as it is expensive.
• Man made paving can also appear expensive now with the importation of Indian stone, but customers may require a non-slip type of paving, or need to match some paving that is already laid.

If you decide to pave, try to choose materials that are suited to your surroundings and budget. Large areas of paving can be broken up and given more visual interest by incorporating different materials such as cobbles, setts, gravel and even circle kits.
