Patios
Patios in Lockerbie
Whether your home is an older sandstone building near the centre of Lockerbie or a later family house further out, a new patio has to suit both the house and the garden it sits in. We shape each layout around the space you have and the way you want to use it, from eating outside to simply making the garden more useful.
Homes in Lockerbie
Lockerbie is a small market town in Annandale, and its homes range from older sandstone buildings close to the centre to the later family houses built around them. Beside sandstone walls, the paving colour and pattern deserve real thought, because the patio will always be seen against the stone. With a later family home, the layout can be worked out around how your household actually uses the garden. The photo on this page shows a finished porcelain patio in a landscaped garden, taken from our own work, so you can see the kind of finish we aim for.
What matters for patios in Lockerbie
Patios in Lockerbie begin with a conversation about the space and what it is for. We work out a layout that fits the garden, then help you settle on paving colours and a design that complement the property. If paths or other paving are planned too, the patio can be designed alongside them so the garden works as a whole.
- For a quote, tell us roughly how big the area is and how you mean to use it.
- Levels matter: a patio should fall slightly away from the house so rainwater drains off.
- The ground underneath counts as much as the paving, as patios last longest on a properly dug and compacted sub-base.
- Paving comes in a range of colours and combinations, so an older sandstone house and a later family home can each get a finish that suits.
Questions about patios in Lockerbie
How far is Lockerbie from your base?
Lockerbie is about 11 miles north-west of our base. Send us the rough size of the area and what you want the patio for, and we can talk it through.
Will a new patio look out of place next to an older sandstone house?
That depends on the paving. We offer paving in a choice of colours, combinations and layouts, and we help you pick a finish that works with the character of the property.
Can the patio be planned with other work in the garden?
Yes. The patio design can be coordinated with adjoining paving and landscaping, such as paths or a new lawn, so the finished garden feels planned as a whole.
