In the very last bit of space left in the garden, we built an arbored lounge area with a fire pit. The clay pigs were a purchase from "Living Green" in San Francisco. photo...Caitlin Atkinson

Five months after install, we have nearly complete coverage by silver carpet (Dymondia margaretae). Very pleased how fast and flushed this came through. Looking forward to experimenting more with the possibilities. We also built the custom garden beds around the patio to provide non-compacted growing space for the client.

Il s'agissait de rénover entièrement la terrasse de cette maison en pierre en coeur de village , tout en lui redonnant du cachet et en valorisant la maison. Les travaux consistaient donc à déposer la terrasse en bois , conserver la glycine en changeant la pergola , ajouter un jardinet , conserver le barbecue Weber ,créer l’ éclairage et réaliser un aménagement paysager moderne . J’ai donc choisi de faire la terrasse en pavés colorés dans les tons pierre avec le joint créme , ce qui apporte une grande luminosité à la terrasse .La nouvelle pergola fait toute la longueur et permet maintenant à la glycine de courir sur toute la surface . Elle comprends 2 espaces détente , une zone avec des fauteuils en rotin suspendus et de l’autre le coin canapés .Les canapés sont en bois sur mesure avec coffres sous les coussins . Et il ya des jardinières bois sur toute la longueur avec des plantes de mi-ombre. D’autres jardinières bois sont crées et installées sur le côté opposé pour apporter une finition de qualité. Un petit jardinet à été installé au fond de la terrasse . Les plates-bandes et le jardinet sont délimités par une bordure bois. Seuls la Glycine et deux grands arbres ont étés conservés pour compléter l’amènagement paysagé coloré . Le coin barbecue est composé de jardinières bois a différentes hauteurs contenant entre autre des bacs contenant des aromatiques et des fraisiers.Et il y a une tablette rabatable servant de desserte au barbecue . Pour l’éclairage , des guirlandes guingettes viennent parfaire le style campagne chic de cette terrasse conviviale qui apporte une vrai plus-value à cette maison de charme .

Patio with a Vegetable Patch and Natural Stone Paving Ideas and Designs

Patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living area. A well-laid patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid and level surface for garden furniture and potted plants. Well designed patios are about more than just paving slabs – its positioning and layout are crucial to how much you enjoy this space. Before you start picking out patio ideas for materials and laying your patio, ask yourself important questions such as what will you use it for? How many people should it accommodate? Which part of your garden has the best aspect and sunlight? Will the patio have enough privacy?

How should I position my patio?

If you are designing your patio as a space for entertaining then make sure it’s wide enough for the garden furniture you want so you haven’t got guests tipping over into the flowerbeds. Don’t be wedded to the idea of having your patio attached to the house; think about positioning yours elsewhere in the garden if that space doesn’t offer the best aspect or lighting position. Consider the position of the sun through the course of the day and depending on whether you are most likely to want to dine outside at breakfast, have lunch on your patio or host dinner outside, you may want to position your patio differently. You can connect patios to your house with a footpath or stepping stones to allow easy transportation of food and drink.

How should I design and lay my patio?

Rectangles are the classic shape for patios, not least because they make the most efficient use of space and can be softened with garden edging. However, a rounded patio or a paving circle can perfectly complement a garden which isn’t linear in design. Paving slabs come in an extensive range of materials and are the most practical surface for patios. Yorkstone has the most traditional appeal, whereas concrete blocks, granite and slate patio slabs have a great texture and colour for modern gardens. Natural stones such as limestone, travertine and Indian sandstone vary in colour and finish and are a great way to add shade and texture to your patio. For some patio ideas that offer an alternative to block paving, loose material such as crushed stone and wood chippings have a rustic and more casual feel; if there are specific materials that re-occur elsewhere in the garden, you could repeat this in your choice of patio materials for consistency. Finally, it’s not a British summer without the great British barbeque, so look at patio ideas that incorporate barbeques and think about how you could accommodate one on your patio.

What garden furniture does my patio need?

Rattan garden furniture is a patio favourite, offering a durable, attractive finish that blends well into natural surroundings. Metal garden furniture and wooden garden furniture are sturdy alternatives available in many styles. Weight is a good feature in garden furniture to stop it from being blown away, but if you want to be able to move your furniture around the patio and garden to follow the sun you won’t want to go too heavy. Browse the various patio ideas that include garden furniture to see what styles of furniture go with different types of patios. If you find a particular patio set you like, you may be able to ask the designer where the furniture is from so you can look at buying the same set for your patio. Good, outdoor patio furniture crafted in high-quality materials should withstand bad weather, but cold, wet British winters followed by strong sun in the summer will be enough to weather even the best furniture, so it’s important to have somewhere, such as a shed, to store it when not in use for long periods of time. If you don’t have the space to store patio furniture, make sure that at least the cushions and umbrellas are stowed away out of the elements, and consider investing in a waterproof cover. One piece of furniture that might be able to stay out for a bit longer is a patio heater; it will warm any brave patio users and most modern designs are built to survive the cold weather. If you prefer something a bit more rustic than a patio heater, look at fire pits instead which will add warmth and an attractive centrepiece to your patio. If privacy or shade is an issue, then covering patio furniture with a parasol or sheltering patios with a gazebo or pergola are both smart patio ideas – these can be covered in climbing flowers or even wound with outdoor fairy lights for romantic evening lighting.
