In the grand scheme of things the difference in the acquisition cost is probably not so bad as more of the cost of laying the patio will be labour. You should check that the installation costs don’t vary too much. There is lots of conflicting advice about sealing stone so you may decide not to do it and save the maintenance - those against sealers point to Roman ruins and say that 2000 years later the stone still looks pretty good without sealer! If the objective is to have a seamless finish between the inside and out then you should go for the porcelain- stone changes colour in the wet and oven the first few years iron will rise to the surface of the stone giving it a brown quality that will be more noticeable when wet.

So many levels, so many trip hazards! Our garden originally had several levels, the worst was a small concrete patio which went down, then up a step, then down, then up to the main part - a design disaster! We slowly improved it with a one level deck (which now needs replacing) then a retaining wall with two steps up to the main garden. If budget allows demolish the wall, remove all various paving, keeping the paving you like for reuse. I would then get a Garden Designer to draw up a plan with a planting plan. This would cost a few hundred pounds but I think it will be well worth it. You can then either do the work yourself or get a landscaper in. I’m loving the pictures shared above, great inspiration. Below is my two level garden as it was a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Ellie, ok I will edit it more as it should read we want all the shrubs and trees removed which is a tall feat when your not qualified I would guess. Also with the council not available to remove garden waste, we already have a lot piling up with the compost awaiting the date for when we can remove it. Our garden already has fence all the way around, however it needs updating as it has broken it a lot of places.

Don’t do it! There is a reason why you can’t find examples on Pinterest and that’s because it’s not a great look. At a push you could edge all round with one colour and fill in with the other, but again I’m not sure. If you want to add some colour or interest some people use outdoor rugs. They are tough and can be left out in the rain.
