how to use paving to make a real diff erence to your outdoor space.


1. Consider your space Consider your space. Is it surrounded by trees? If so, you might want to go for a lower maintenance paver to make it easier to enjoy your space. Is your garden south facing? It might be worth thinking about a paver that is more durable and won’t fade. Porcelain paving is a good choice and is also slip-resistant, making it easier to enjoy your space whatever the weather!


2. Instil some character Starting with a blank canvas can be daunting, but clever planting and paving selection is the perfect way to add depth and character to your space. Natural stone paving is a great option, off ering a unique look, with plenty of rustic appeal. For something with a little added history, Bradstone’s Old Town Eco paving uses moulds from the fl oor of a Lancashire cotton mill, with original tool marks and weathered edges, allowing you to add some old-school charm to your garden. And Carpet Stones are a great way to add eff ortless design to any space, as well as being super easy to lay. By adding that cottagecore touch to your garden, you can entertain outside all summer in style.
