Groundwork to finish ?
Comments (1)A light coloured shingle would look good, although be careful if things like Cotswold chippings which grow algae and collect dirt. You could also look at adding either a bed or more pots around the front of the lower wall as another suggestion, maybe some ornamental grasses....See MorePool paving - cooler alternative to bluestone
Comments (0)I'd like to use bluestone pavers for our pool coping & surrounds, but I'm concerned it will get too hot underfoot, particularly because I have young kids. So now I'm on the hunt for pavers which have a similar uniform grey look but will be cooler. Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions?...See MoreHelp with Patio paver colour
Comments (7)Can I mediate? I think you're both right in a sense but perhaps both talking about different things. One issue is how dark it is, or how light the new slabs will be. That is totally separate to the actual colour. I agree that lighter slabs would really lift it, but the colour can be lots of different things, grey being just one of them. I would say a slab that works with the brick is a good idea, it could be a creamy/buff coloured slab or tile, just make sure it's light enough to make a difference....See MoreHelp with patio dilemma
Comments (7)Don't listen to your paver/builder as they will always put the terrace there! Is your floor in your extension floating or solid concrete with a dpc under it? Your best place for your main terrace is away from the house, you can always have an area with a pergola over it for very hot days. Make sure it is big enough with space to spare for what you require. A nice transition from your patio doors leading to the terrace is important. I would suggest getting a proper landscape designer to come out for at least a consultation, if not a proper design. You will end up saving money in the long run by getting it right on paper first, and you can get multiple quotes as they are all quoting from the same design. There are many factors to take into consideration when developing a garden, remember this is probably the biggest room of your house, and if it it done right, on of the most enjoyable and relaxing! Please don't rely on your paver/builder saying "I can slap down a lovely patio for you right outside your patio doors" it won't be. Good luck....See More- 13 years ago
