Patios
Patios in Gretna
Much of Gretna's housing dates from the twentieth century, and a good deal of it was planned around a wartime factory. For a house like that, a new patio is a practical way to get more from the garden, and we plan it around your space and what you want it for.
Homes in Gretna
Gretna is a town just over the Scottish border from England, about 4 miles south-east of our base. With so much of its housing built in the twentieth century, a lot of it planned around a wartime factory, a patio here can be shaped to whatever garden your house came with, whether you want room to eat outside or a cleaner, more practical space. Patios in Gretna can also be planned alongside new fencing or other garden work, so the boundary and the patio can be thought through together. The photo shows a finished porcelain patio in a landscaped garden, from our own work, as an example of the finish.
What matters for patios in Gretna
We start by looking at the garden you have and what the patio needs to do. From there we shape the layout, help you choose paving in a colour and pattern that suits the house, and coordinate the patio with any adjoining paving, landscaping or new fencing so the garden comes together.
- To get a price, let us know the approximate size of the area and what you want it for.
- The patio should be laid with a slight fall away from the house so rain runs off.
- A properly dug and compacted sub-base gives a patio the longest life.
Questions about patios in Gretna
We also need a new fence. Is that something you do?
Yes. We provide boundary fencing in traditional timber, concrete post-and-panel and UPVC, for privacy, security or smaller boundary jobs, and it can be coordinated with the patio and other garden work so the boundary looks part of the same garden.
Our garden needs more than a patio. Can you plan the whole thing?
Yes. Landscaping work can combine paved areas, new lawns, artificial grass and other hard-landscaping features in a plan shaped around the property and the result you are after.
Can you do the driveway at the front too?
We also create driveways and hard-surface access areas, from paths and parking areas to dropped-kerb entrances, planned around the space and how it will be used.
