Paving for Gardens

Paving is something that garden designers need to consider as well as plants, aspect, soil and more.

Type of Paving
There is natural stone, porcelain and concrete and others.

What colour should I choose
Have a look at the colours you already have in the garden. You want to work with the existing landscape and house. For example I used a pale grey for the garden in Henley to pick up on the flint walls already in the garden.
Grey was also used for the Pergola to create a contrast against the Cotswold stone.
For the house in Bicester I chose a warmer colour to go against the red brick

Type of Paving
A riven sandstone or limestone paving slab with mixed sizes fits well with a country style garden.
While a smooth finish is better with clean lines of a new build contemporary garden
