Landscaping Ideas: Great Garden Paving Options for Your Garden

Our last article gave you a whole range of ideas about how to enjoy indoor/outdoor living without becoming a slave to your garden. Continuing our series of articles on ideas for a stress free garden and a stunning outdoor living space for summer, today we’re looking at some great garden paving options.

Paving for your garden is a really smart way of getting rid of some of the high-maintenance elements of the great outdoors. When you choose paving, you can keep the grass and flora you need to look after to a minimum, while keeping the area functional. You could even include a dedicated entertaining space for summer BBQ events.

Paving can either be highly structural or it can be a bit more informal, the choice is yours. But the really great thing about any style or sort of paving is that it’s extremely low maintenance. You can choose to use paving for paths only or you can extend it to outdoor seating and eating areas as well as driveways, it’s entirely up to you.

Here are the different types of paving we have on offer at Innes Building Timber:

Block Paving

Block paving is a great way to create a decorative walkway or a hardstanding. The huge advantage of this way of creating your outdoor space is that you can lift individual blocks should you need to. This means that you can resolve any under-ground issues without having to break up and ruin the look of your hard space. At IBT, we have a whole range of block paving to choose from.

If you want classic greys and silvers, we’ve got it covered with our Boulevard Slate, our Country Cobble Slate or our stunning Slate Mixed Setts. In fact, greys and silvers are so popular, we have more, which you can find here.

If you’re more into reds and golds, our Caledonian Pavers Monoblock Brindle or Caledonian Pavers Monoblock Burnt Ochre are likely to float your boat. But the best thing to do is check out our full range online and then come into store to finalise your decision and get any advice you need.

Concrete Paving Slabs

Concrete paving slabs are a great way to make a big statement fast, without breaking the bank. At IBT we have a whole range of options that suit every style of garden and every budget. You can find our full range here.

If you want a state of the art designer look, check out this Canterra Slab Slate. Team it up with monochrome furnishings and accents of steel, or create an eclectic mix with boho chic vintage items, the choice is yours. If your style’s more country cottage than urban loft, then our Glenarm Patio Pack Manorstone or Bradstone Textured Red are for you. Either way, you can be sure that you’ll enjoy a low maintenance, great looking outdoor space.

Natural Stone Paving

For a really natural look that is easy on the eye, our natural stone paving range won’t disappoint. You can find it here. There’s a great range of warm beiges and some interesting grey combos. In short, there really is something for everyone.
