Patio Builders Maidenhead

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 Maidenhead covet. Homebuyers are willing to pay a high premium for a house in Maidenhead with a great patio.

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 a sunny 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. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Maidenhead. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go.

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.

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 Maidenhead. 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 Maidenhead who can help you.

Once you have the shape, size and purpose 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. Consider strawberry planters, herbs or cherry or grape tomato plants as they are great decorative feature and edible solution as well. If you've got a retaining wall, consider using hanging flowers such as angel's trumpet, or climbing vines such as passion flower, honeysuckle, clematis or sweet pea. Planter baskets with pansies, geraniums and petunias. 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 Maidenhead.

Decking vs Patio - Which is Best?

Any garden or even a tiny courtyard in Maidenhead can be improved by installing a deck or a patio. But, which option best suits your needs?

If you are sticking to a tight budget then decking may be your first choice. If you look at the material and installation costs for decking over a similar sized patio, decking is much cheaper. If you're concerned about maintaining wooden decking then you can go for composite decking which require less maintenance and enjoy a longer life. There'll be routine annual maintenance on both decking and patios; staining or painting, sealing surfaces etc, which is required to keep them in tip-top condition.

Patios will no doubt be your first choice if you need a long lasting, durable area which stands up to heavy use and inclement weather conditions in Maidenhead. A well built patio should last a lifetime, as long as the base and foundations have been prepared correctly using suitable materials, and even if a slab or tile breaks, it can be swapped with relative ease. Conversely, a split or damaged deck board or plank, must be changed immediately, because otherwise it will create a hazardous trip area on even a low-level deck. Whichever solution you choose, you can be sure that you'll finish up with an enjoyable outdoor area for many years to come.

Skip Hire Maidenhead

No matter whether your patio building project in Maidenhead is small or large, a certain level of rubbish and waste is going to be created that will need disposing of. Even though you might possibly cram some of the waste into your household rubbish bins, these are not really suitable in most cases. Local council regulations may even state that any garden or construction waste that is generated must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe way. Consequently taking your waste to an authorised recycling and disposal facility could be an obligation. Instead of going through the headache of constant trips to the nearest council tip, you could look at hiring a skip, and throw your rubbish in there.

Providing you with an assurance that your waste will be driven to a council approved site for proper and safe disposal, a specialist skip hire contractor in Maidenhead should be your best bet. Chat with your building works contractor regarding the kind of waste materials that are likely to be generated by your patio building project, and also confirm that this is fine with the skip hire firm who'll be picking it up. If asbestos waste may be involved for instance, it might mean that your skip hire company will have to use an entirely separate disposal system for the harmful waste.

The rules which cover the safe disposal of hazardous waste are extremely strict, and therefore this is a process that's best left for the professionals. Your patio installer and the skip hire firm will work together to assure compliance with all rules and regulations.

If you have a spot where a skip could be placed in your garden or drive, that is a perfect scenario. On the reverse side of the coin, if you have no suitable garden area, and you have to park your car on the street, you might have to seek the help of your nearest neighbours, and see whether they can leave you a space for the skip somewhere close to the work area. If you want your skip to stand on the curbside, you will need a licence or permit from the local authority, however this isn't needed for a driveway or private land in Maidenhead. Enquire whether you need a skip permit at your local council offices. This makes sure that no problems will occur because of the placement of the skip.

Maidenhead area skip hire providers offer skips of all sizes, and it is possible to hire just about anything from builders skips and giant roll-on roll-off monsters down to skip bags and mini-skips. If you feel you may need a skip for your patio installation project CLICK HERE for a quote.
