10 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUILDING A PATIO

Are you looking forward to summer and the idea of sitting out in the garden? Have you got anywhere to sit?

Maybe you are planning a patio? If you have a new home with a garden, perhaps you’ve been concentrating on the house up to now and haven’t thought about the outdoor space?

Or perhaps you’ve already got a few paving slabs where you put a table and chairs in summer?

Before you do anything – here are ten factors you should consider:

1. Position

We all tend to think that the obvious place for a patio is adjoining the house. Step out of the back door, or patio doors, straight onto the patio. In reality the aspect is really important.

Think about the position of the sun when you are using the patio. If the far corner of the garden gets the evening sun, when you want to sit there with a drink, would that be a better place?

On the other hand if immediately outside the patio doors bakes in the sun all day, and you want shade, you might want to re-think.

2. Access
This does depend on how much you will use the patio and what you are going to use it for.

If you are going to eat out regularly don’t locate the patio miles from the kitchen at the far end of the garden. You just will not use it on a regular basis. You may need to compromise somewhere between accessibility and aspect.

3. Size

This is one of the most important factors. I often advise people to choose their garden furniture first, then plan the size of the patio.

If you really need a six-seat patio set, the clear paved area needs to be big enough to take it with plenty of room around to allow comfortable access.

On the other hand, if you just want space for couple of sun loungers, a vast paved expanse can look hard and uninviting, especially in winter.

4. Shape

Your patio does not have to be a regular rectangle, perhaps led by the shape of the paviours. Soft curved edges, which ideally blend into the surrounding planting can be more appealing.

Many are put off this by the thought of cutting slabs. You don’t need to – just have an irregular edge and fill the spaces with gravel or stone chippings if necessary. Think about practicality.

If you’ve got to mow around it plan accordingly and avoid tricky corners.

5. Materials

These need to be inkeeping with the construction materials of your house and the style of your garden.

Do not choose paving materials in isolation or from a glossy image on a website. Get some samples, put them in situ and imagine what a larger expanse will look like.

The paving is not the dominant feature, it is part of the space of the garden. There to showcase the surrounding planting, pots, furniture and features. Avoid strong patterns and dominant colours: you will soon tire of them.
