A patio is a great space to add to your garden – if you want a place where you can entertain, have seating areas and a barbeque, then a patio will give you this. It can also add interest to your garden and help to break it up.
There are lots of styles of patio and all have different benefits, so choosing the right patio for you is a very personal choice – you might want to go for a concrete patio which you can get someone like this concrete Cheltenham based company www.monstermixconcrete.co.uk/concrete-cheltenham to provide for you, or you might prefer the look of wooden decking.
Factors to consider when choosing the right patio material for you include:
Budget – Decide what you want to spend on your patio, as some materials are more expensive than others, and also consider labour costs if you are going to get someone in to do it for you. Phone around to get quotes so that you can get a good idea of what the costs are likely to be.
Aftercare – Think about the care that your patio will need to keep it looking good – a paved patio may need to be weeded every so often, whereas decking needs to be treated to keep it weatherproof.
Style and Appearance – Think about how the different materials will look when they are in your garden – sometimes what looks good in one garden might not be the best choice for another. Look for pictures of gardens like yours to help you get ideas.
