Landscaping
Landscaping in Annan
Annan is a town near the Solway coast, about 5 miles south-west of our base, with many red sandstone buildings and twentieth-century housing around it. Whatever the age of your home, we plan the outside so the patio, lawn and paving feel like part of the house rather than an afterthought.
Homes in Annan
Annan's many red sandstone buildings give the town a strong look of its own, and the twentieth-century houses around it are a different kind of home again. For either, the colour and pattern of the paving make a real difference, and we offer a choice of colours, mixes and patterns to help you pick a finish that suits the property. Below the surface, every patio and path relies on the same thing to last: ground that has been properly dug and compacted into a sub-base. The photo on this page shows our own finished porcelain patio within a landscaped British garden, a good example of how a patio can anchor the rest of the space.
What matters for landscaping in Annan
Landscaping in Annan can be built around how you want to spend time outside, whether that is eating out, having people round or simply a tidier, more useful garden. The patio can be designed with the paths, paving and lawn next to it so the finished garden hangs together, and fencing can be brought into the same plan if the boundary needs attention.
- We agree how the space will be used and how much of the garden the patio should take up.
- A patio should have a slight fall away from the house so rain runs off it.
- Paving colours and combinations are picked with you to suit the house.
- Lawn, artificial grass and other hard-landscaping features can be added around the patio.
Questions about landscaping in Annan
What makes a patio last?
Patios and paths last longest on a properly dug and compacted sub-base. The groundwork underneath matters as much as the slabs you see on top, so it is worth raising when you request a quote.
Can the patio link up with a path or driveway?
Yes. A patio can be coordinated with adjoining paving, and paving can define paths, entrances and the transitions between parts of the garden. We also create driveways, paths and parking areas, so these can be discussed as part of the same project.
