Paving ideas to transform your garden
Garden paving can transform the look of your outdoor space, adding visual interest to your garden by building pathways and paved areas that create a journey through your garden, or adding new areas to sit and relax in. Garden paving can be very simple, but if you’re not sure where to start this guide is here to help give you some inspiration.
Deciding on a material is a great place to start. Sandstone is a classic choice for paving as it is extremely weather-resistant and comes in a variety of tones. Slate is very visually appealing in colour and texture whereas limestone is great for a subdued look. Porcelain also has excellent longevity, is easy to maintain and comes in a variety of creative finishes. Once you know the kind of material you want for your paving, you can then consider design choices.
You can use paving to create garden paths and trails that meander through your outdoor space. Mark out a pathway with soil, being as simple or creative with the shape as you like, and then lay the paving slabs on top. Spacing the slabs far apart can create stepping stones, whereas positioning them closer together will create a more uniform and traditional path; the choice is down to your preference. Planting flower borders on either side of your pathway can create a beautiful garden trail, or you can set the paving slabs into turf to create a pathway through your lawn. Trails and stepping stones are great for gardens with kids to give them areas to explore and play.
Our range of paving stones can also be used to create classic and stylish patios. Patios can create a space to sit, relax and socialise in your garden; perfect for summer barbecues with friends or a quiet place to relax and enjoy your garden. Our range of paving slab materials all have a distinct look that can add colour, depth and style to your patio. Decorate your patio area with some harmonious garden furniture to complete your outdoor relaxation space, with umbrellas or a veranda to keep away the rain.
However, garden paving doesn’t necessarily have to serve a function. You can use garden paving slabs purely for artistic and decorative purposes, placing them throughout your garden to create zigzags, patterns and shapes. They can also be used in creating shrubberies and rockeries, adding distinct areas in your garden to create a journey for the eyes and different zones to explore.
Paving can add new dimensions to your garden and there are many creative options to be explored. At Mick George, we’re dedicated to helping make your garden dreams a reality.
