Patio in Northampton

Patios remain a very successful way of creating functional outdoor spaces which can be used for entertaining, dining, or just to enhance the beauty of your garden. Patios are built from block or slab paving and can come 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 that have a consistent effect. Patios are very hard wearing and require very little maintenance, only infrequent cleaning to protect the natural beauty of the stone. Patios are generally 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 huge variety of colours and types of stone. Give some thought to using a different colour and type of stone to either inlay a fashionable design or as edging to complement the shape of your patio. It is important to consider the use of your patio when designing it and measure accurately to be sure that any furniture will fit the intended space. Specialist patio and paving companies can design you a patio that perfectly meets your preferences and creates an outdoor area that is practical as well as beautiful.
