Patios
If you’d like to make your patio a place that you love spending time and somewhere you can’t wait to show off to friends then Parkstone Wales patio installers, Cardiff, can help you design and build the perfect entertainment, playing, dining, and chill-out space.
A great garden will have variety, and that can include a variety of surfaces. Hard landscaping, usually paving, close to the house help transition from your home into the green spaces beyond. On your patio you can enjoy your garden while the comforts and facilities of your home are easily at hand. Step outside and really enjoy the space.
​
A patio can be as simple or complex as you like. Even some well-chosen paving can give you more options outside the back door, giving you a space for container planting, all-weather play or socialising.
​
Add walls, split levels, built in seating, cooking (barbecues, built in pizza ovens or chimeneas), rain shelter, a pergola for climbing plants, lighting and more, and your Cardiff patio could be a Mediterranean outdoor room that’s usable in all weathers all year round.

It is a job that most DIYers can handle, but getting a patio right is demanding and complex, particularly as you start to add features.
Patio design is a skill in its own right. It needs to work in the landscape – with access from the house, and then on to the rest of the garden – would you like curbed steps, cladded steps, or sleeper steps?
Using artificial lawn beyond the patio can extend the low-maintenance, easy access space; splitting levels helps give a sense of space and discreet zones for different purposes. Drainage needs to be considered – Parkstone Wales are water management specialists – and built-in lighting or cooking systems take skill to install safely and successfully.
​
Parkstone Wales offer a huge range of finishes to choose frim to suit your budget and your taste. Traditional looks might include Indian sandstone, natural stone, polished sandstone or slate. You can go all-out for luxury with granite and marble. Or prioritise practical factors with porcelain paving or vitrified slabs that resist damage and staining. Concrete is fashionable, versatile, good-value and a best-of-all-worlds answer in many situations.
​
The colour palate ranges from blacks through greys, blues, reds, browns and greens to sparkling whites and silvers. Mix and match for chequerboard or striped looks, with bricked paths, walls and kerb stones to complete a perfect job. And there’s no need to limit yourself to straight lines, curves can be part of your plans too.
A beautifully laid patio should look amazing and deliver superb performance in all weather conditions.
Safety & Security
Patios can make your garden more beautiful, add value to your house, and expand your home into your green spaces. They can also really open up gardens to anyone with mobility issues.
​
Parkstone Wales can create a comprehensive access scheme for you, with ramps replacing stairs and gentle inclines standing in for split levels. Railings can be a great visual feature and can also be a mobility aid if you’re not steady on your feet all the time.
