Believe it or not, winter is the perfect time to get started with your outdoor projects.

It may feel like the wrong time of year, but when you are planning a big project such as a new patio or driveway, now is the prime time to get stuck into planning.

Why is that? Well, whilst you may be able to find a landscape designer to help plan your next project, paving contractors are in high demand and often booked up months in advance. So it’s important to make sure you identify and secure your project with a paving contractor as soon as possible, as once spring comes, they’ll likely be fully booked throughout spring and summer!

Use our list of Tobermore Registered Contractor to find a paving contractor in your local area.

Use Tobermore’s Paving Visualise Service

If you’re looking for something more bespoke, our Paving Visualise Service can bring your ideas to life with a tailored visualisation of your property. Simply send us a picture of the area you’d like to transform (ensure the area is as clear as possible without toys, garden furniture or bins etc.) Provide us with a description of your new project, whether it’s a new patio, additional steps or a garden makeover and let us know what products, colours and finishes you like best. You’ll then receive a computer-generated image of your paving choice within ten days.
