Patio Builders Royston

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 Royston covet. Homebuyers are willing to pay a high premium for a house in Royston 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.

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.

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 Royston. 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 Royston. 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 Royston who can help you.

Once you have the shape, purpose and size 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 passion flower, honeysuckle, clematis or wisteria. Planter baskets with pansies, petunias and geraniums. Consider herbs, strawberry planters or grape or cherry tomato plants 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 Royston.

Decking vs Patio

Pretty much any garden or even a tiny courtyard in Royston can be improved by installing a deck or a patio. But, how should you decide which is the better option?

If the initial expense is the primary concern, then decking takes first place. Measure for measure, decking is cheaper and quicker to construct than a slab or stone patio of an equivalent size. In the long run the maintenance costs for a timber decking area can be more costly, but much of this can be avoided by using rot-proof, composite materials. There will be routine yearly maintenance on both patios and decks; painting or staining, sealing surfaces etc, which is essential to keep them in their best condition.

Patios will be your preferred choice if you are looking for a long lasting, durable area which can withstand heavy use and all types of weather conditions in Royston. Even if a patio slab cracks it doesn't normally affect its overall usability, and it can be easily exchanged by a specialist. A cracked decking plank can be dangerous and will need to be replaced immediately, and it may not match the weathered decking planks already in position. Both patios and decking are fantastic alternatives which will provide you with an outside space for the whole family to enjoy for many years to come.

Royston Skip Hire

A certain quantity of waste and rubbish is likely to be produced, no matter what the size of your patio building project in Royston, and this might not be suitable for general disposal in the regular wheelie bins which are used for your normal household garbage. In fact, the safe and eco-friendly disposal of any garden or construction waste that is generated, will probably be covered by local authority rules in your area. This typically means that hauling it to an authorised disposal and recycling centre is your only legal way to get rid of this waste. Rather than enduring constant trips back and forth to the nearby council facility with waste, you could instead think about Royston skip hire.

By using an experienced Royston skip hire service, you'll be given assurances that all your waste is going to be transported to a certified site, and will be disposed of safely and correctly. Have a chat with the skip hire service about the type of waste that is likely to be created by the patio project, and also confirm this with your works contractor. If asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are involved for example, it may mean that your skip hire firm will have to use a totally separate disposal system for the harmful waste.

Stringent guidelines cover the disposal of hazardous waste, so you must leave it to the experts if you've got anything like this. To make sure that all guidelines and regulations are addressed correctly, both the skip hire firm and your patio contractor will work together.

An ideal scenario is when you have an area in your garden or drive when a skip can be positioned. If this isn't the case, and you park your car on the street and haven't any suitable place in your garden, you could try asking neighbours if they're able to leave you a space near to your patio area. A skip licence (or permit) from the local council will be required before standing a skip on any public highway or road in Royston. If however your skip is positioned entirely on private property (such as a driveway or garden) a permit won't be necessary. Call you local council to see if you require one. Hence, in relation to positioning your skip, this will guarantee that there are no legal issues.

Skip hire companies in and around Royston offer skips in all sizes and shapes for projects of any scale, and they start from giant roll on roll off monsters and builders skips right down to mini-skips and skip bags. GO HERE to get a skip hire quote in Royston.
