We understand the specific considerations that Wakefield's climate presents, from managing Yorkshire's rainfall to ensuring freeze-thaw resistance. Our installations account for these factors, delivering patios that remain stable, safe, and attractive throughout the seasons.

Patio Size and Layout

Determining the right patio size requires balancing your entertaining needs with garden proportions and budget considerations. As a general guide, patios should accommodate your furniture comfortably whilst maintaining visual harmony with your property and garden.

For dining areas, allow sufficient space for tables, chairs, and circulation around furniture. A typical dining patio for six people requires approximately 3.5 to 4 metres square. For mixed-use patios incorporating dining and lounging areas, larger dimensions create versatile spaces that adapt to different occasions.

Our design consultation helps you visualise how different sizes and shapes will work within your garden, ensuring your patio provides optimal functionality whilst complementing your outdoor space.

• Retaining Walls: Creating level areas on sloping gardens whilst adding structure
• Steps: Connecting patios with different garden levels seamlessly
• Raised Planters: Built-in growing spaces for flowers, herbs, and shrubs
• Seating Walls: Dual-purpose structures providing seating and garden definition
