Patio Builders Taunton

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

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

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.

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.

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 Taunton. 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 Taunton 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. 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 sweet pea, passion flower, honeysuckle or clematis. Planter baskets with geraniums, petunias and pansies. 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 Taunton.

Patio or Decking - Which is Better?

Any garden or even a tiny backyard in Taunton can be improved by installing some decking or a patio. But, which of these options best fits your needs?

For people on a strict budget and worried about costs then decking is the ideal option. Decking is less expensive and often easier to install than a same size stone patio. Over the years the maintenance costs for wooden decking can be more expensive, but much of this can be reduced through the use of rot-proof, composite materials. Naturally there's invariably some routine maintenance to think about, but this is true for patios too.

Patios will no doubt be your preferred choice if you want a durable, long-lasting area which can withstand heavy usage and all types of weather conditions in Taunton. Even when a slab cracks or breaks it does not usually affect its overall usability, and it can be quickly changed by an expert. This isn't the case for a split or damaged deck plank, which will create a weakened area in the decking causing a risk and must be changed straight away. Whichever of these options you settle on, you can be sure that you'll end up with an amazing outside area that will last for for al fresco dining and relaxation.

Skip Hire Taunton

No matter whether your patio project in Taunton is big or small, a certain level of waste and rubbish is going to be generated which will need to be disposed of. Even though you might squeeze some of the waste into your regular household rubbish bins, these will not be suitable in most instances. In fact, the environmentally friendly and safe disposal of any construction or garden waste that you produce, will probably be restricted by local authority legislation in your area. This might mean that the only legitimate means of getting rid of it will be at a recognised recycling and disposal facility in the area. Perhaps you could save yourself the trouble of carting waste to your nearest council tip, and rent a skip instead.

By using a trusted Taunton skip hire company, you'll be given guarantees that your waste is going to be driven to a certified facility, and should be disposed of safely and properly. The skip hire firm will want to be aware about the sort of waste products that are going into the skip, so talk to your contractor about the nature of the waste which is going to be created by the patio building project. It could mean that your skip hire service will have to divide hazardous waste into a separate disposal system, for instance if asbestos might be involved.

There are rigid guidelines for dealing with hazardous waste and it's best to leave it to the pros to handle. Your patio layer and the skip hire firm will work closely together to assure adherence to all regulations.

The perfect solution with regards to positioning your skip, would be when there's a space on your garden or driveway area. If this isn't the case, and you usually park your vehicle on the street and have no suitable garden space, you could think about asking nearby neighbours if they could leave you a space close to your work area. A skip permit (or licence) from your local council will be necessary before setting a skip on any public highway or road in Taunton. If the skip is stood wholly on private property (for instance a garden or driveway) a permit won't be needed. Contact you local council to see if you require one. This is crucial for the safe positioning of the skip.

Skip hire providers in Taunton and the wider Somerset area offer skips in all sizes and shapes for any scale of project you might have, and they range from huge roll-on, roll-off (roro) versions and builders skips down to skip bags and mini-skips. To find a price for skip hire in Taunton GO HERE.
