Installing a new garden patio in the UK offers several advantages.
Firstly, it creates an attractive and practical outdoor living space, enhancing the aesthetics of your garden. A well-designed patio can also increase your property's value, making it a worthwhile investment.
Patios require low maintenance compared to other garden features, saving both time and effort. Improved drainage can help prevent flooding in your garden, especially during the UK's wetter months.
Additionally, a patio provides a versatile space for relaxation, entertainment, and year-round enjoyment, even in the UK's unpredictable weather.
Our most affordable option, concrete paving slabs, are available in a wide range of colours and designs, including plain, textured, exposed aggregate and polished versions. This is the ideal choice for a low-cost patio. Highly versatile and reasonably priced flagstone concrete slabs are commonly used for footpaths, patios, and driveways.
Block paving has recently seen a reduction in price, as new production methods have led to the material becoming a more affordable choice in patios.
Block paving looks great when used to build driveways, patios and pathways. Many commercial and public areas are now surfaced using block paving as a viable alternative to the more traditional tarmac. Strong and resilient, it is much more appealing to the eye than tarmac or flagstones.
An Indian sandstone patio offers several benefits, making it an excellent choice for outdoor spaces.
Indian sandstone is highly durable and hard-wearing, able to withstand wear and tear from daily use. It is also frost resistant, meaning it is not vulnerable to frost damage, making it reliable for various climates. Indian stone slabs are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, providing versatility and a unique aesthetic for your outdoor space.
They are low maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep once installed and are more affordable than similar high-end pavers, offering a cost-effective option without compromising on quality.
Porcelain paving is growing in popularity, and at Armoured Drives, we are installing more and more porcelain patios each year.
Porcelain slabs are extremely tough and resistant to scratches, abrasions, and cracking, ensuring they last for many years. They are also fade-resistant, being unaffected by the sun's rays. Despite their appearance, they are slip resistant, providing a safe surface for outdoor activities.
When installed properly with high-quality materials, porcelain tiles can last for decades, offering excellent value for money.
