With some careful planning, you can create a functional and attractive patio that gives you the perfect space to enjoy your garden throughout the year.
When it comes to choosing the paving itself, there are lots of options out there. The style of your property, paving colour preferences, laying patterns and, of course, your budget will all impact your decision making when choosing paving flags
In this article we’re simplifying things – sharing three popular, go-to paving choices that our customers choose time and again. They’re all highly durable, versatile and available in colours to suit any style of property.
These days, natural granite is in short supply and, as a result, granite paving has become very expensive to buy.
Luckily, Tobermore’s Mayfair granite-effect paving is just as hard-wearing, and brings the same high-end look to your patio as natural granite – without the huge price tag. These stunning flags are manufactured with natural granite aggregates, to mimic the look and feel of natural granite.
So, if you want an upmarket look for your patio, granite-effect paving could be for you. With its vibrant, long-lasting colour, it’ll add a sophisticated feel to any outdoor space.
Like granite alternatives, natural stone-effect paving gives the look, feel and durability of natural stone, at a much lower cost.
This type of paving is the perfect choice for anyone looking to bring a rustic feel to their patio. With their contoured surface, Tobermore’s Historic flags provide the look and feel of natural stone, but with the durability of a carefully manufactured product.
What’s more, they’re available in a pack of five different sizes, allowing you to create a mixed laying pattern with an organic look.
If you’re paving your patio on a budget, the rippled textures of Riven flags could be great for you.
These are also natural stone-effect paving slabs, with a hard-wearing textured surface. Tobermore’s Riven flags are available in a range of soft muted colours, with the straight edges and riven surface of the flags bringing a subtle detail to your patio area.
Perfect for both patios and garden pathways, Riven flags are a cost-effective way to pave your space, whether your property is contemporary or traditional.
