Patios
Patios in Annan
Patios in Annan sit beside everything from the town's red sandstone buildings to the twentieth-century housing around it, and the right design for each is different. We size each patio to the garden and the way you plan to use it, so the result suits the house it belongs to.
Homes in Annan
Annan is a town near the Solway coast, about 5 miles south-west of our base. A lot of it is built in red sandstone, so if your house is too, the paving colour is worth thinking about early: we offer a range of colours and combinations and can help you choose a finish that sits well beside red stone. For the twentieth-century houses around the town, we plan the layout around how you want to use the garden, whether that means a place to eat outside or a cleaner, more practical space. The photo shows a finished porcelain patio in a landscaped garden, taken from our own work.
What matters for patios in Annan
Once we know the size of the area and what it is for, we shape a layout to suit. You choose the paving colour, combination and pattern with our help, and if the patio meets other paved areas or a planned lawn, the design is coordinated with them. That way the patio reads as part of the garden rather than an afterthought.
- What sits under the paving matters as much as the surface: patios last longest on a sub-base that is properly dug out and compacted.
- Rainwater needs to drain off, which is why a patio should slope slightly away from the house.
- Paving is chosen to complement the property, which counts for a lot beside red sandstone.
Questions about patios in Annan
What should I tell you when I ask for a quote?
The rough size of the area and how you want to use it, for example eating outside, having people round or just tidying up the garden. The layout is planned around those answers.
Can the patio link up with paths or other paving?
Yes. Paving can mark out paths, seating areas and entrances, and it can stand alone or form part of a wider patio or garden project. We can plan the patio and the paving around it together so the outside space hangs together.
