help on colour for paving
I have a “griege” tile inside which tends to be more beige in a lot of lights) and I need to get the outside done as it’s been way too long!
I’m opting for real sandstone and have silver grey (left) and sagar black (right) as two options in a multi size pattern. You can in the photo. Also going for a slate cladding on the retaining walls. Basically not too modern!
Do you think either works?

Tips on garden paving
Comments (0)I would love to get some tips on garden paving. Our budget is about £20 a metre. I tend to like grey and I like things to be a bit different and quirky. I fell in love with this paving here <div><a href='https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/modern-in-bed-stuy-contemporary-patio-new-york-phvw-vp~5586205' target='_blank'><img src='http://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/44f17e2b0229e47c_8-2961/contemporary-patio.jpg' alt='Modern in Bed-Stuy' border=0 width='500' height='750' nopin='nopin' /></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style="text-decoration:none;color:#444;" href="http://www.houzz.co.uk/pro/neweco/new-eco-landscapes" target="_blank">Photo by New Eco Landscapes</a> - <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#444;" href="https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/contemporary-patio-ideas-and-designs-phbr1-bp~t_10324~s_2203" target="_blank">Search contemporary patio design ideas</a></small></div>...See MorePaved terracotta poolside area needs help
Comments (2)Hi Vicki, I just got back from Sydney! The weather was beautiful and Im lamenting over the warm sun, but enjoying the festive season in the UK. I am not a plant expert, so maybe a landscape expert or gardener could help you with that part of your design. Architecturally a backdrop / screening plant would make the space feel private and inviting - unless you wanted to screen with battens, curtains or sails of some kind. I would screen with something light looking (as in native and fine, I love grasses but seem to get weird responses when proposing them...) I put a quick collage together for you, it is just an idea board to give you some ideas about what I would have done, if this was my patio (totally jealous by the way!) I hope this helped you, have a great day! Jo...See MoreDriveway tiles paving tiles - mixed tiles
Comments (2)I think it will be difficult to find something to match. I could be wrong but, from the photo, it looks like the drive was some kind of crazy paving made up from broken slabs - 2 or 3 different colours (?) which have since weathered & faded. So if you found something similar to replace them, the colour would most likely be brighter. What happened to the parts of the drive that the builder took up?...See MoreHelp with outdoor paving!
Comments (1)I have porcelain and Indian Sandstone in my garden. Porcelain comes in different R ratings (R9 - R13). The higher the rater the better the non slip effect. Mine is R13 and is completely non slip even in the pouring rain. The drawback is the non slip finish means it holds onto dirt and can get grubby (mine does), so rather annoying! Never have the R13 indoors as cleaning it is difficult. The sandstone is a natural finish that comes in a riven rustic finish and a calibrated finish which is more modern and straight edged. It comes in many shades from grey, beige, pale green etc. I’m not suggesting what you choose but a paving that is difficult to clean is a right pain!

5 years agoI love sandstone and have it in some of my garden. I prefer the lighter one. You are right to point out that the paving has a variety of colours as it is a natural product. When mine arrived I was shocked how different each slab was but it grew on me.

But how much? Up to the first retaining wall/aco and then zone off the seating area with the grey paving perhaps

I’m leaning towards wood effect for the first section as it zones the next seating section and the steps and path will continue in that grey porcelain
