Patio Builders Rayleigh

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 Rayleigh covet. Homebuyers are willing to pay a high premium for a house in Rayleigh 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 cater for. 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 a sunny spot in your garden.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Square, Circular or Free-Form. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Rayleigh. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go. 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.

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 Rayleigh. 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 Rayleigh who can help you.

Once you have the size, shape 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. If you have a retaining wall, consider using hanging flowers such as angel's trumpet, or climbing vines such as wisteria, honeysuckle, passion flower or clematis. Planter baskets with pansies, petunias and geraniums. 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. Consider grape or cherry tomato plants, strawberry planters or herbs as they are great decorative feature and edible solution as well. Choosing new plants, bushes or flowers can add a facelift and a new look to your patio area in Rayleigh.

Decking vs Patio

Any garden or even a small backyard in Rayleigh can be improved by installing a patio or deck. But, which would suit your purposes better?

If you're restricted by a budget decking will almost certainly be your first choice. If you look into the material and installation costs for a deck over a similar sized patio, decking works out a lot cheaper. As time passes maintenance costs can be more expensive for a timber decking area, but this can be avoided with the help of composite, rot-proof materials. As with any outside space in the garden, deck or patio, there will always be maintenance chores that are required each year.

If you prefer a durable and hard-wearing area, that is where a patio comes out ahead. Even if a slab cracks or breaks it does not normally affect its overall usability, and it can be easily lifted and exchanged by a professional. Conversely, a broken deck board or plank, will have to be replaced immediately, as it will create a dangerous trip area even on a low-level deck. When push comes to shove, either solution will offer you many years of outdoor enjoyment for the whole family. (Tags: Patio or Deck Rayleigh, Patio vs Decking Rayleigh, Patio vs Deck Rayleigh).

Rayleigh Skip Hire

A certain quantity of rubbish and waste will be produced, no matter what the extent of your patio project in Rayleigh, and this won't be appropriate for general disposal in the ordinary wheelie bins that you use for your household waste. In most regions of Britain, the environmentally safe disposal of any garden or building waste is managed by the local authorities. This normally means that transporting it to a recognised recycling and disposal centre is your only lawful way to get rid of this waste. Perhaps you could save yourself the headache of carrying your waste back and forth to your nearby council site, and rent a skip instead.

A skip hire contractor in Rayleigh will provide guarantees that all of your waste will be taken to an approved site for proper and safe disposal. Talk to your building works contractor concerning the kind of waste materials that are going to be generated by the patio building project, and in addition verify that this is acceptable to the skip hire company who will be picking it up. It may mean that the skip hire firm will need to split harmful waste into a completely separate disposal system, especially if asbestos might be concerned.

Understandably, there are exacting regulations for dealing with hazardous waste and it is best to leave it to the experts to handle. Working in tandem, the skip hire firm and your patio installer will make sure all regulations are dealt with correctly.

The perfect solution is if you happen to have an area where a skip could be sited in your garden or driveway. If however you've only got parking on the main road or no suitable garden area you could always speak to your nearby neighbours and ask if they could leave you a bit of space close to the patio area. A skip permit (or licence) from the local authority will be required before standing a skip on any public highway or street in Rayleigh. If however the skip is placed fully on private property (like a driveway or garden) a permit will not be necessary. Phone you local council offices to find out whether you require one. This will save you getting into trouble for an illegally sited skip.

There are numerous sizes of skip that it is possible to hire in the Rayleigh area, with pretty much anything from skip bags and mini-skips right up to gigantic roll on roll off versions and builders skips. CLICK HERE to get skip hire quotes for the Rayleigh area.
