Patio Builders Bexley

Having a well laid out patio area will not just add extra living space to your home but can also add to your property's value. Patio areas are a highly prized feature that homeowners and buyers in Bexley covet. Homebuyers are prepared to pay a high premium for a house in Bexley with a great patio.

Size: Determining the size of your patio is very important. As stated above, a large patio can overwhelm a smaller garden, and vice versa. You can figure out how large your patio needs to be by deciding on how you intend to use it and how many people it should fit. Measure the size of your garden to see how much area you are working with, how much space you are willing to allot to your patio, etc. One good tip I've come across, is to buy your patio furniture before you install your patio, arrange it where you expect your patio to be, and observe how the space is used, where people walk, etc. This will help you see just how much room is needed for walk space around the furniture, accessories, and more.

Positioning: When deciding where to place your patio, it is very important to consider multiple aspects and ask yourself a few questions. What is the purpose for your patio? Do you intend to entertain large groups of people, or host intimate gatherings? Depending on the purpose of your patio, you then need to consider the proximity to your home. If you are installing a fireplace or fire pit, you need to make sure there is a good distance between your home and where the fire will be contained. You need to look at the available space in your garden. An over-sized patio will overtake a smaller garden. Another consideration is the amount of sun or shade you desire. If you plan to use your patio for sunbathing, you need to make sure it is in the sunniest spot in your garden.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Circular, Square or Free-Form. Circular patios can either be a full circle or a half circle. The full circle patio is generally independent of other hardscapes and usually feature a focal point. Half circle patios abut either a building, such as your home, or another hardscape form, like a garden wall. Circular patios blend well into landscapes since there are no hard edges that stand out. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Bexley. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens.

These things are important and you will be glad that you considered all of these options before you pressed ahead and actually built your patio in Bexley. Planning is key with any project like this and it will be difficult to change things later if you get it wrong and your patio simply doesn't look right. Of course it is still possible to put things right, but not without a lot of mess and disruption. If there is anything you are not sure about there are plenty of great patio builders in Bexley who can help you.

Once you have the size, purpose and shape of your patio planned out, you can then move on to selecting appropriate paving materials. Before you jump right in and order slate tiles to go next to your pool, you need to ask yourself the following ten questions:

Patios may seem like a simple task anyone can take on, but for a great patio that you are proud of and excited to show off, a little bit of time and thought needs to be put into the planning process.

Accessorize with Plants: Plants are an idea way to accentuate and define your patio area. If you've got a retaining wall, consider using hanging flowers such as angel's trumpet, or climbing vines such as clematis, sweet pea, passion flower or honeysuckle. Planter baskets with geraniums, petunias and pansies. Consider herbs, cherry or grape tomato plants or strawberry planters as they are great decorative feature and edible solution as well. Shrubs and hedges help to divide up your space and create a definite border between your garden and patio area. In addition, they can provide an extra measure of privacy for your garden and patio area. Choosing new plants, bushes or flowers can add a facelift and a new look to your patio area in Bexley.

Decking vs Patio - Which is Better?

Just about any garden or even a small courtyard in Bexley can be transformed by installing a patio or some decking. But, which suits your objectives best?

If you're restricted by a budget decking will likely be your preferred option. If you evaluate the material and installation costs for decking over a similar sized patio, decking works out cheaper. Some claim that decking is costly and difficult to treat and maintain, but with today's composite materials this doesn't need to be an issue any longer. As with any outdoor space in the garden, patio or decking, there will invariably be maintenance jobs that are required most years.

If you favour a more hard wearing and durable area, that's where a patio comes out on top. A professionally built patio should last a lifetime, as long as the foundation and base have been constructed correctly using appropriate materials, and even if a slab or tile breaks, it can be changed with relative ease. On the other hand, a broken deck plank or board, will have to be replaced straight away, because otherwise it will create a hazardous trip area even on a low deck. Whichever option you decide on, you can be confident that you'll wind up with an enjoyable outdoor area for many years to come.

Bexley Skip Hire Services

Ordinary household rubbish bins are perfect when it comes to everyday waste disposal, but for projects like patio laying in Bexley, and other garden and home makeovers, they're just not suitable (or large enough) for the waste and rubbish that is created. It may also be a stipulation in your local region that any garden or building materials must be disposed of in a regulated and environmentally safe way. So, taking your waste to a recognised recycling and disposal centre, is the only way that you can adhere to such rules. It's best to search for skip hire in your area, if you don't want to be conveying waste materials back and forth to your nearest Household Recycling Centre.

Providing you with an assurance that all your waste will be transferred to an authorised site for safe and proper disposal, a professional skip hire company in Bexley will be your best option. The skip hire service will need to be aware about the kind of waste that's going to be tossed into the skip, so speak to your works contractor regarding the type of waste that is going to be created by your patio project. If asbestos waste is involved for example, it may mean that your skip hire service will need to use an entirely separate disposal system for the dangerous waste.

Hazardous waste is controlled by strict legislation, and the professionals are the best people to handle it's disposal. Working in tandem, your patio contractor and the skip hire provider will make certain that all the rules and guidelines are correctly dealt with.

An ideal scenario is when you've got a space in your driveway or garden when a skip can be placed. The generosity of neighbours may be needed to leave you a bit of space, if you usually park on a public road and have no suitable place, and if possible your skip really needs to be positioned in close proximity to the area where the work will take place. A skip permit (or licence) from your local council will be necessary before placing a skip on any street or public highway in Bexley. If the skip is placed entirely on private property (for example a garden or driveway) a permit won't be necessary. Call you local authority to see whether you require one. This will save you getting into a jam for an unlawfully placed skip.

Skip hire companies in Bexley and the wider Greater London area offer skips in all kinds of sizes for any scale of project you might be conducting, and they range from skip bags and mini-skips right up to builders skips and giant roll-on roll-off skips.
