Area Preparation: This step of the patio project should include the removing and disposal of surface debris and any old paving waste, digging up of the topsoil layer to get down to the firmer sub-soil, spreading of a sub-base or hardcore material and the resulting levelling and compacting of this material, covering using a bedding layer for instance sharp sand.

Paving the Area: When everything has been got ready your patio contractor will commence laying the patio slabs, exactly how this process proceeds will depend upon the types of materials you decided on, and might be fairly uncomplicated so long as the ground preparation was done properly and the base is stable and flat.

Materials for Paving: There are a broad array of materials which you may use for building a garden patio, among the most widely used are: concrete, gravel, slate, bricks, cobbles, slabs, setts, composite tiles, granite, asphalt, sandstone, limestone and blocks.

Gravel Patios: For an inexpensive, quick and simple patio you could give some thought to using gravel, and you may well be capable of building your own gravel patio if you're a practiced DIYer. When most people talk about a patio they usually think of an area of the garden covered with concrete slabs, however there are many different materials from which to make a patio, and gravel is one of the most eye-catching of these.

Gravel Patios Brough

With a gravel patio being much less expensive than an area of concrete slabs or decking, this makes it a fantastic option for many homeowners in Brough, as does the fact that it's durable and requires hardly any maintenance. If in the future, you need to remove or move your patio, gravel is by far the most straightforward material to shift or transfer. In locations that experience high levels of rainfall, gravel patios are also much better for drainage, and can substantially lower the risk of flooding. And its not only flooding that can be avoided, but also "pooling" - where you have pools of water laying on your patio after rain, which can lead to algae and moss growth. You you will struggle to do better than gravel, if you would like a more natural look for your patio, since it blends in nicely with just about any landscape design that you may have. Given that you can fashion it into almost any shape you desire, a gravel patio is also easy to customise.

Flagstone Patios Brough

Flagstone Patios Brough: Of the varied materials which you can use for building a patio, flagstone is considered one of the best.

Patio or Decking - Which is Best?

Decking or Patio Brough?

Patios and decking provide a wonderful space in even the smallest of gardens or backyards in Brough, for sitting back and chilling. But, which option is best?

For homeowners who are on a strict budget and concerned about costs then decking comes out ahead. Decking is cheaper and quite often easier to install than a same size slabbed patio. In the long run maintenance costs can be more expensive for timber decking, however this can be avoided by using rot-proof, composite materials. Obviously there's invariably some routine yearly maintenance to consider, but this is true for patios too.

If you prefer a more hard wearing and durable area, that is where a patio comes out on top. A decent patio should last a lifetime, so long as the base and foundations have been constructed properly using suitable materials, and even should a tile or slab break, it can be changed with relative ease. On the other hand, a split or damaged deck plank or board, must be changed immediately, because otherwise it will create a hazardous trip area on even a low-level deck. Both patios and decking are excellent alternatives which will provide an outside area for the whole family to enjoy in the future.

Patio Grouting Brough

Patio Grouting Brough (01482)

Patio Grouting Brough: With old, pre-existing patios one of the main problems is with crumbling grouting or joints. If this type of thing is happening with your patio, you will need to do something, because before very long your patio will begin to look messy with weeds and grass sprouting up between the joints. You can minimize this problem by using a decent weedkiller or maybe by pouring boiling water on the weeds which is a great, but mostly unrecognised, non-chemical technique to eradicate weeds in cases like this. It is often a challenging job to restore the grout, and the hardest job of them all is the removal of the old, eroded grout. When all is said and done replacing the joints is pointless if your paving slabs are rocking and loose, because it won't make much difference, and getting the entire thing re-done is the only possible alternative. Raking out the damaged mortar by using a hammer and bolster, a patio knife or better still a diamond tipped blade in an angle grinder, will be the next task if your patio slabs are reasonably stable and firm. Give the entire patio a good clean-up when you're done and re-grout the slabs using a resin or polymeric grout. Some of these types of grouts are applied using a dry brush-in process, while others use the wet slurry procedure.

Patio Ideas Brough

Patio Ideas Brough

Patio Ideas Brough: When it comes to patios, the choice of design and layout ideas is never-ending, and if you're hoping for something fancy you should speak to a local Brough patio design specialist or landscaper, unless you have outstanding design skills. You may decide that a simple rectangular or square shape on one level is all that's needed, but if you've got an inclined garden or wish to give your patio much more individuality, you could go bonkers and combine diverse shapes on different levels.

Due to the fact that custom-built patios have a propensity to be rather pricey, it would be a wise idea to keep it pretty simple if you're looking to get a cheap patio. If you don't have much space in your garden, your choice of patio could be limited, as the amount of space that's available and the arrangement of your garden will influence its design and style. Any self-respecting patio specialist in Brough will advise you about the best way to proceed with the installation. There are loads of potential options, for example: a stone patio, a brickwork patio, a circular patio, a pattern-imprinted concrete patio, a split-level patio, a mosaic patio, a covered patio or a free form patio. Look on Pinterest or Flickr for more creative ideas. (Tags: Designs for Patios Brough, Patio Design Brough, Patio Layouts Brough, Patio Ideas Brough)
