Worth knowing
Things to think about first.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain gives a uniform, contemporary look and is easy to keep clean. Because it absorbs almost no water, it needs a bedding method suited to porcelain. Natural stone varies slab to slab, which many people like for a softer, traditional finish.
Levels against the house
Patios are normally set below the house's damp-proof course, often by at least 150 mm, with a gentle fall away from the walls so rain runs off.
Seeing it in daylight
Natural stone and porcelain both look different on screen. The planner is a guide to layout and tone, and physical samples are worth seeing before ordering.

Should I choose porcelain or sandstone for my patio?
Porcelain suits a clean, modern look with consistent colour and easy upkeep. Sandstone suits a natural, varied finish. Both can work well, and samples help you decide.
How is a patio kept from holding water?
A patio is laid with a gentle fall away from the house and set below the damp-proof course, so rainwater runs off rather than pooling against the walls.
Can a patio include steps and a path?
Yes. Paths and steps linking the patio to the rest of the garden can be laid in the same or a contrasting material.
Can I preview patio layouts?
Yes. The homepage planner draws porcelain, sandstone and limestone patios to scale in each layout and colour, next to a house with bifold doors and a table for scale.
