The Many Different Choices You Have For Your Patio
When you want to laze out in the sun on a sun lounger in your back garden, probably the finest way to do so is to build yourself a patio. You can do so much with a patio that you can’t with a lawn. You can have tables and chairs on it that you can use even when it has been raining and the sun then comes out, while you wouldn’t want to tramp about on a soggy lawn. In the summer you can use a patio for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you can also get the barbecue out and cook on that as well.
Furthermore, there are so many different kinds of paving that you can use for a patio that will enhance the appearance of your garden and have guests admiring your selection. At Base Driveways, we can create the perfect patio to your own design and using whatever kind of paving you choose.
Paving slabs in Kent are large paving stones with which you can create patterns. You might want square slabs, but you can also create designs with circles or different sizes of slab. Some people also like to edge the patio with a low brick wall and have a gravel topped narrow earth bed along the inside in which they can grow a variety of plants. It gives a nice clean look and yet you still get the beauty of the plants.
Paving blocks are shaped like bricks and are thicker than slabs. They are available in a range of colours and can be laid at right angles to each other creating a formal pattern, yet with the individuality of different colours laid together. This can give a very pleasing effect.
You can also use stones such as granite, which is an extremely hard-wearing stone and available in a range of colours, or perhaps natural limestone which often has veining and patterns in it which were created by the different minerals present when the limestone was formed all those thousands of years ago.
Sandstone is another choice and also has veining, and can be found in several different colours. Another way to achieve a simple rustic appearance is to use stone cobbles.
At Base Driveways we can create the patio of your choice so that you can enjoy as much as possible of your free time out in the sun and shake off the worries of the working day by relaxing and taking it easy.
