Patios & Paving in Aughton

Patios & Paving in Aughton

A patio in Aughton is often worthwhile, because homes have the gardens for one, and the village's mix of larger detached properties and smaller village-centre houses gives a range of settings from broad entertaining terraces to compact seating areas. Natural sandstone and porcelain suit traditional brickwork, while smoother paving suits newer houses at the village edge. The generally flat ground helps the groundwork, though water still needs somewhere to go. A patio is also a good way to link house and garden for the summer, with a path or steps tying it into the rest of the plot. If your garden is small or heavily shaded, a modest paved area with planting may feel better than a large slab.

Planning patios & paving in Aughton

For an Aughton patio, think first about how the space is used, the aspect and the house levels. A slight fall away from the house keeps water off the walls, and the paving should sit below the damp-proof course. On bigger plots, a patio can step down or connect to a path through the garden. Properties near the village centre may prefer natural-looking stone. Smaller back gardens benefit from careful layout of bins, seating and access. Permitted development often covers rear patios, but check with West Lancashire Borough Council if unsure.
