Patio Builders Shrewsbury

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 Shrewsbury covet. Homebuyers are prepared to pay a high premium for a house in Shrewsbury with a great patio.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Square, Free-Form or Circular. 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 Shrewsbury. 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.

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.

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 Shrewsbury. 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 Shrewsbury 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've got a retaining wall, consider using hanging flowers such as angel's trumpet, or climbing vines such as wisteria, honeysuckle, clematis or passion flower. Planter baskets with petunias, geraniums and pansies. Consider grape or cherry tomato plants, strawberry planters or herbs 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 Shrewsbury.

Decking vs Patio - Which is Best?

Decking or patios can provide a great area in even the smallest of gardens or yards in Shrewsbury, to sit back and relax. But, what's the best option?

If the initial outlay is the main concern, then decking comes out on top. Decking is less expensive and often easier to install than a same size slabbed patio. If you are anxious about the long-term maintenance of wooden decking then you could go for composite materials which have a longer life and require much less maintenance. There'll be routine annual maintenance on both decks and patios; staining or painting, the sealing of surfaces etc, which is needed to keep them in tip-top condition.

Slabbed patios are the preferred choice for folks wanting a more durable surface that can tolerate heavy use throughout all seasons of the year in Shrewsbury. Even when a patio slab cracks or breaks it doesn't usually affect its overall functionality, and it can be very easily replaced by your local patio installer. A damaged decking plank can quickly become dangerous and will need to be changed immediately, and it will probably not match the weathered deck planks already in place. At the end of the day, each option will give you many years of outdoor pleasure for the whole family. So, if you were wondering which is best - decking or patio - hopefully this short article has helped.

Shrewsbury Skip Hire

When you're doing home improvements or garden makeovers in Shrewsbury, it's likely that a certain quantity of rubbish and waste will be produced, and patio projects are no exception. Unfortunately, your regular household rubbish bin is not going to make the grade when it comes to disposing of such waste materials. In fact, the environmentally safe disposal of any construction or garden materials is regulated by most local authorities in the United Kingdom. This normally means that transporting it to an official disposal and recycling centre is your only legal way to offload this waste. Rather than putting yourself through the hassle of continuous trips to the nearest Household Recycling Centre, you could look at the possibility of renting a skip, and throw your rubbish in there.

With a trusted skip hire company in Shrewsbury, it is pretty much guaranteed that all of your waste will be correctly and safely disposed of at a council authorised site. All the same, it is vital that you ascertain the kind of waste materials that will be generated by the project, and you can confirm this with your patio contractor and the skip hire provider concerned. The skip hire firm may need to split dangerous waste (like asbestos) into a completely separate disposal system for safe processing.

The safe disposal of hazardous waste is best left to the professionals and there are rigorous guidelines for dealing with it. To ensure adherence to all the rules and regulations, your contractor and the skip hire company will work in conjunction.

The perfect situation with regards to siting your skip, would be where there's some free space in your garden or driveway area. If possible, your skip must be placed as near to your patio area as is practical, however if you don't have any suitable space and your vehicle is normally parked on the public highway, you might have to depend on the kindness of your neighbours. Skips that are placed on a main road in Shrewsbury will need a permit or licence from the local council, but this won't be required if it is positioned entirely on a driveway or private land. Contact you local council to find out whether you require one. This helps to ensure that no problems will occur because of the placement of the skip.

Shrewsbury skip hire businesses offer skips of all sizes, and you can hire just about anything from skip bags and mini-skips right up to builders skips and gigantic roll-on roll-off monsters. To get a price for skip hire in Shrewsbury CLICK HERE.
