Patio in Durham

Patios continue to be a very fashionable method of creating practical outdoor spaces which can be used for socialising, dining, or simply to enhance the beauty of your garden. Patios are built from block or slab paving and are available in a huge assortment of colours, patterns and designs. Patios can be laid in either random course patterns where the pattern is varied, or in repeating patterns which have a consistent effect. Patios are extremely hard wearing and require very little maintenance, only periodic cleaning to maintain the natural beauty of the stone. Patios are typically installed in locations where patio or French doors can open directly out onto them as this causes a smooth transition between the inside and outside spaces. Patios come in a wide assortment of colours and types of stone. Give some thought to using a different colour and style of stone to either inlay an elegant design or as edging to emphasise the shape of your patio. It is vital to consider the use of your patio when planning it and measure accurately to ensure that any furniture will fit the intended space. Specialist patio and paving companies can design you a patio that perfectly satisfies your needs and creates an outdoor area that is useful as well as beautiful.
