Patios & Paving in Runcorn

Patios & Paving in Runcorn

Many of Runcorn's newer-estate homes have decent back gardens but a patio that was an afterthought: a few thin slabs, or paving that has sunk and gone green. A well-laid patio is a simple way to make that space usable, and the flat, consistent ground across much of the town makes the groundwork easier. Patios & paving in Runcorn can also tie the garden back to the house and carry on to a path or side access. In older parts of town, a more considered paving choice may suit the character of the home. If your garden is low-lying or damp, drainage should be thought about before the stone is chosen.

Planning patios & paving in Runcorn

A patio is a back-garden job for most Runcorn homes, so planning rules usually matter less than they do at the front, but the fall still counts. Water should run away from the house wall and below the damp-proof course, not pool against it. Estate gardens in Runcorn can be modest in size, so the size and shape of slabs affects how big the space feels. Consider where the bins and washing line sit, and how the patio will meet any existing path or lawn. For front-of-house paving, the front-garden hard surface rule applies; check with Halton Borough Council.
