Patios & Paving in Heswall

Patios & Paving in Heswall

A garden on a hillside can be a gift or a headache, and the terraced rear gardens common across Heswall often suit a well laid patio at a usable level. Patios and paving in Heswall help create flat, comfortable spaces on sloping ground, and with views across the Dee estuary a well placed seating area earns its keep. Natural stone and porcelain both have a place, and the right choice depends on the house and how the area is used. Retaining walls or steps may form part of the job on a steep plot, which makes the layout more involved than a standard flat-garden patio. The same thinking suits a small seating spot tucked into a corner of a sloping lawn.

Planning patios & paving in Heswall

Levels are everything on a sloping Heswall garden. Patio falls need to run away from the house, and any retaining wall or step arrangement should be planned before the paving. Sandstone below the surface generally drains reasonably well, but surface water still needs a route out. Consider how wind off the estuary affects furniture and planting, and whether the patio catches the evening sun. Rear patios at the back of the house are usually less restricted than front surfaces, though if the house has any special status, check with Wirral Council.
