Autumn is one of the best times of year to start planning a new garden design project.

Landscape designers and paving contractors are winding down after a busy summer and will have more availability to visit you and help plan your garden project in time for spring.

At Tobermore, we’re always ready to help you get started with your next garden design project. So if you’re raring to go, here’s how we can help you realise your dream outdoor space.

Visit a paving centre

If you’re in Northern Ireland, our purpose-built paving centre should be your first port of call. You can browse the entire Tobermore paving range in our showroom and walk through real-life paving installations to see how the products look when laid.

Our Consumer Sales team will be on hand to help, too – whether you want advice there and then, or to book an in-depth consultation at one of our design clinics. A range of packages – Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond – are available, depending on how much support you’re looking for.

If you are based in the Republic of Ireland or Great Britain, you can access the bronze design package, this is a FREE 30 minute virtual consultation with one of our qualified landscape designers. Book online today and a designer will work with you to create a plan for your perfect outdoor space.

But wait, there’s more!

If you’re not ready to book a designer just yet, the great news is there are lots of free tools and resources available to help you get started with planning your dream paving and new garden design.

Use a garden design visualisation tool on your mobile phone

Picture It is a free tool that uses augmented reality technology to help you visualise new paving in your garden on your mobile phone. It’s one of the easiest, quickest and most accurate ways to get a picture of what your new paving will look like.

It really is very easy to use, in just three simple steps. First, you’ll need to head outside with your mobile phone and open the Picture It tool on the Tobermore website. Next, take a picture of your outdoor space. Then, in the Picture It tool, simply choose from the range of Tobermore paving products to see how they look in your garden. You can even switch between different colours and laying patterns in a single tap

Browse a garden design inspiration gallery

An easy and quick way to get inspiration for your outdoor space is by simply browsing a photo gallery of completed projects. It’s a great way to kick-start your garden design project.

Online resources such as Pinterest or Instagram, as well as gardening magazines, are a great place to look for inspiration. But don’t forget Tobermore has a huge collection of project photos that you can browse freely too. And with our ‘My Favourites’ tool, you can easily save the images you like and refer back to them later.

Do you prefer modern and minimalist with straight lines or a more traditional cottage garden style with curved lines and soft planting? The ‘My Favourites’ section will allow you to save all the projects you love in one place.
