All Styles of Garden Patios in Farnham, Guildford and Godalming

Purpose and Size

The intended use of new patios is vital in determining how big it needs to be. Entertainment or dining areas for a larger number of people need to be big enough to accommodate dining tables and/or seating.

Position

Garden patios directly next to the house are ideally placed for transporting food and drink and are convenient to access. However, this may not be the best location from which to enjoy your garden; for example, other areas might get more sun and therefore be more suitable for relaxation.

If placing a patio away from the main building, a walkway is a great option for accessing it without having to walk on potentially wet or muddy grass.

Privacy

If privacy is a concern, we can often place patios away from the house or out of view of neighbouring properties. If this is not possible, trellises, pergolas, screening plants and fences are effective ways to increase the privacy of garden patios.

Practicalities

To ensure our customers get the most from their new patio, there are a few practical considerations that we take into account. Drainage is an important factor, especially if opting for a large patio or if your garden often experiences waterlogging.

If you want your outdoor space to be lit, add electric lighting with a pergola or ground lighting; it's a worthwhile investment if you plan to use your patio a lot. Additionally, an awning makes the space usable in any weather.

Shape and Materials

Whilst flowing curves are an attractive option, rectangular angles are often a better use of space, especially in smaller gardens. We advise on the most suitable shape and soften harsh edges with strategic borders and plants.
