The new year is a time for renewal, and for many this means doing up your home or your garden. If you have your heart set on a big garden project this year and want to turn it into an area that you can be proud of and enjoy in the summer months, then now is a good time to start planning.
A patio area is something that many people add to their garden to improve it – this creates a space that can be used for entertaining and adds interest to the garden. A patio is a perfect place for seating, and a barbeque, as well as for pots and planters. So, if it is something that you are keen to get started on, here are some tips…
Keep an eye on the weather conditions – When laying concrete, it is important that you make sure the weather is dry as well as not being too cold. Temperatures that are under 3 degrees Celsius can be detrimental to the concrete and it won’t last as long.
Plan Ahead – Decide what you want to do to the garden in advance so that you can plan it out and also where you are going to source the materials from. Look for local suppliers like this concrete Stroud based company Monster Mix for example.
Set a Budget – Re-designing the garden can be an expensive job, so make sure that you work out the costs of it before you get started – you don’t want to get part of the way through and be over the budget.
