PRO7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHi - you are lucky to have a really large patio! If you can, I would suggest to replace it with paving stones which work with your red brick property. As per the picture below. You won't get any weeds coming through and it will smarten up the exterior, probably increasing your house price too!
If you shop around you can get some really good deals. I found this the above on Travis Perkins: https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/Marshalls-Indian-Sandstone-5-Size-Paving-Project-Pack-Multi-Grey-15-23m2/p/743017?gclid=Cj0KCQjwof3cBRD9ARIsAP8x70NwxhgPXBAsnjjWqntgQFvqULT_M7ozRp3_lPE6ALsAGrehWPpGGTAaAigGEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CPjw7-ebwt0CFYWsUQodrWEOUgRelated Discussions
Ideas for Patio
Comments (2)Hey! I can't advise too much on the woodwork but I think a fresh coat of paint would give this a new lease of life! Maybe get some climbers to wrap themselves around the wood - white and green is a lovely light combination....See MoreGarden ideas/ patio design
Comments (10)i think the most important thing is to work out first of all how you would like to use the garden space, whether its to relax in, socialize in, kids/grandkids to play in, to enjoy from the house and or different focal points within the garden, is there an area that gets say evening sun and that's the time you both get home and want to enjoy a meal/drink in the evening sun? do you need storage areas? outside cooking area? how much time do you have to spend upkeeping it? (and be honest! too many people aren't believe me lol), how much money you have to spend, both on landscaping and maintenance, once you really know what you want from it, have a search though houzz at the different styles of gardens and start getting an idea of what you like and come up with a board with clippets of different styles, doesn't matter if it takes time, best to get the basic's right before spending any money before planting, its worth getting the soil tested for its type, ph and nutrient level, this will also help work out what plants you will be able to grow sorry I haven't helped with styles or direct ideas, I feel its your own space and to get the best from it you need to understand more what you require from it and what you can give to get out of it most of all good luck and enjoy turning the lovely space into a garden that you can enjoy...See MoreGarden and patio landscape design ideas needed!
Comments (3)Hi there, Looks like you have a nice space to work with there! Certainly no problems to extend the patio and maybe even creating an additional seating area. Adding a firepit is a great idea as it creates a cozy and relaxing space and also extends the time that you can use your seating area for (as it brings in light and warmth). I offer a range of affordable online garden design services that you can choose from. Please do get in touch if you want to find out more! I would be very glad to help!

Comments (6)Hi there, I am a bit late here, but just to ratify what Sonia said: I would not get rid of the York stone slabs at all! It would be a really good investment to get them cleaned and relaid! They look perfect for your surroundings! I also loved the stone wall that you have in your garden as well! Loads of elements that already add character to it! As for all the features that you want to add to your patio, I do agree that it is a lot for a single space, so maybe the best option is to create another patio area somewhere else in your garden and subdivide these features that you want among the different patio areas. Use paths to connect them and you have a journey through your garden! I know it is out of the scope of what you want, but I would also be tempted to adding some planting beds around the garden. If you need any further help, I provide a range of online garden design services from budget friendly garden sketch to full on garden plans with planting plans and 3D visuals. If you are interested, please do have a look at my website and get in tough. I would be happy to help! Deborah The Rooted Concept Garden Designs...See More
7 years agoI would keep but spend time and a little money revamping it. Much less money than new patio but I like older more unusual things anyway.
