Do you make your own pavers? I have a project and am a DIY I am wondering if I should pour my pavers in place or make them in a mold, then install them. What do you think? Or if you buy them premade, where I can I buy them from?

Hi, These pavers are actually Jura Grey Limestone which we cut down to size. Each 'plank' has a concrete foundation and is then laid in a bed of mortar. The Limestone was sourced from London Stone.

hi - you might find that having ( if the budget allows ) a round moving floor area for your equipment - it can be set up so that it turns around slow enough for you to always have the best view whichever piece of equipment you are on at the time ! failing that having two or three screens for video / TV feed on different walls can help ... also hanging a tall 'standing desk' high enough for you to work on a laptop or tablet while on mini stepper can be a good idea ! plan , plan and plan again until you know everything fits and works with space around to get on and off and space for a fridge full of cold water / can / energy drinks is a great idea too ! ( and a litter bin !) add a softer rubber matted area for free weights... oh and a whiteboard is a good idea to keep track of your timings / reps etc and steps up to a lower piece of equipment ( like a rowing machine ) can double up as step area for box jumps and tread work etc ! ( if you are into cross fit ) - sorry this is a bit of a disjointed message - I'm typing (crosseyed) on a small phone !!!

Hi Shane, Really interesting property you are about to buy. Lots of possibilities to create a nice place where to live. About your question, an open plan living space is completely compatible with having a two-storey home. Open style stairs are the best solution for this, but where to place them will be even more imporant I guess. Do not think about stairs as an element that blocks or interrumpts the space, but as a piece of your open plan ground floor which can even be its main feature. I leave you a couple of pictures that can help you visualise it. Please let me know if you need any more advice or precise drawings. Happy to help. Ana

Hi Joanna. Yes, in the first initial sketch the shaded area is lawn. Did some more sketches (excuse my funky carpet😄) with some variations on initial designs. However looking at your photos again the trampoline is a little larger than I thought it was so please take this into account. Best thing to do is try out different layouts by measuring and marking the ground. You can do this with pegs and string, spray paint, hosepipe, planks of wood, whatever you have to hand really 🙂. A good size for a patio is usually about 3 meters but it depends what you want so it’s a good idea to measure garden furniture etc. then have at least 60 cm extra space around it, then you can work it out from there. Also a good idea to collect images of gardens (google, Pinterest, Houzz, etc.) with styles you that appeal to you and note down what you like about them. Hot tub? Mmmmm, they’re quite expensive to install and need a good amount of upkeep so it depends how much use you think you’d get from it. I personally think no, because of its position it would be overlooked by neighbours but it’s entirely your choice. Anyway here’s my sketches (click photos to enlarge). Hopefully they’re self explanatory but remember they’re just to give you some ideas and feel free to plan things how you want them. Sketch 1 would probably the most suited for your needs. It’s quite adaptable and should be relatively easy for landscapers to achieve. Note the wide pathway and arch which are central to this design and be aware that it may leave you with a postage stamp sized lawn which you could choose to remove altogether and instead use large planting beds for greenery. Best of luck with your garden and if you have any plant query’s then myself, Sonia and other Houzzers may be able to help.
