Exciting Considerations for Designing Your Dream Patio…

There are many options available when designing a patio! Below, we’ll explore how you can use our patio paving to create the garden you’ve always dreamed of.

Laying Patterns

Mixed Sizes

Mixed Sizes, also known as Project Packs, are an excellent way to create original and interesting random patio designs using various sizes of slabs. The four different sizes of pavers allow you to craft a unique patio layout, which is a popular choice. This approach beautifully showcases the distinct qualities of each slab, allowing the natural tones and colour variations to complement each other and create a one-of-a-kind finish for your space.

Take a look at some of our favourite designs below, all created using our Patio Kits!

Single-Sized Paving

Single-sized paving slabs are ideal for creating a modern patio design. Their larger size can also enhance the sense of space in your garden! Choose from the popular 600×900 slabs, or opt for smaller sizes like the 600×600 pavers to find the perfect fit for your design.

Bullnose Steps

Steps can serve more than just a functional purpose in your garden. If your garden features multiple levels, consider using Bullnose Steps to elegantly connect your patio to other areas of your outdoor space. These steps can enhance the overall aesthetic, adding a touch of sophistication to your environment. Their smooth surfaces provide a luxurious finish, making them an ideal choice for traditional or classic patio designs.

Centrepieces

Designing your patio around a centrepiece can provide a natural focal point for your garden. Whether it’s a seating area, dining space, fire pit, or a sandstone circle, having a focal point is an excellent place to start!

You could even consider using your lawn as the centrepiece of your garden. An edging solution, such as Granite Setts, works effectively to create a design within an existing lawn and offers a contemporary finish.

Lighting

Light colours can give your patio a summer feel all year round and create a greater sense of space in your garden by brightening up any dark and dingy corners that may not receive much natural light.

Our Fossil Mint Sandstone are ideal examples of light-colored paving options that bring life to your garden. The blend of beige, ivory, and cream tones works beautifully in areas with abundant plant life and flowers, especially during the spring and summer!

Porcelain Paving

Porcelain paving is an excellent choice for creating a modern patio design with a luxurious finish. This man-made stone is low-maintenance, scratch-resistant, and remarkably durable, making it a great alternative to natural stone for driveways. Additionally, its non-slip properties make it ideal for use around swimming pools and hot tubs.

We offer a variety of finishes in our porcelain paving collection, each designed to replicate the look of natural stone while providing unique visual qualities. This modern, designer aesthetic is sure to impress!

Traditional Patios

Natural stone paving and traditional patio designs complement each other perfectly. Textured options like our Rustic Copper Slate or Riven Sandstone Paving are ideal for creating a timeless patio that will never go out of style. The earthy tones of the paving lend a natural and organic feel to your outdoor space, which harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding elements. By using riven sandstone or slate, you can achieve a blend of modern and traditional styles, featuring a lightly textured surface that adds a weathered charm.
