There is no greater sense of despondency than slaving away at your garden all summer and then having the rain and the wind coming along to leave all your hard work nowhere to be seen. To avoid this sense of futility once more, swap out your green spaces with stylish and modern reclaimed paving. Cawarden Brick & Tile Co outline the many benefits of opting for paving.
Easy To Maintain
One of the main pluses of swapping your grass for paving is that you will completely bypass that feeling of disappointment after breaking your back over your lawn. Paving, in comparison, is much easier to maintain and will retain its signature appearance all year round. When the time comes to give your paving a spruce up, just take a pressure washer to it and blast the dirt off your slabs; the power of your jet will dislodge even the most stubborn pieces of grime but will not damage or chip any of your slabs. This quick and easy task makes the chore of gardening much less painstaking, and the time you spend on gardening will be dramatically reduced, even if you do still have patches of grass in your garden.
Design and Aesthetics
As we have already mentioned, introducing paving slabs into your garden will ensure your outdoors is as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer. Unlike grass, paving slabs will not overgrow, leaving your garden looking cluttered after just two weeks. Paving slabs are a great way of breaking up the spaces in your garden, giving it some shape as well as modernising your outdoors. There are a number of patterns and designs which can be introduced into your garden to give it a stylish look:
Stepping Stones
Mix Square Patio
Stone Paving
By implementing these design options into your garden, you will not only have a garden which is easy to maintain, but you will have a garden that is the centrepiece of your home.
Adds Value To Your Home
When the time comes to relocate and move out, you will reap another reward of installing paving into your garden. Due to their popularity, style and their durability, paving can add significant value to your home. As paving slabs are sustainable and renewable, paving is also an environmentally friendly styling option; a criterion which is becoming increasingly popular for potential buyers.
Depending on which materials you choose to introduce into your garden, the increase of value is correlative to how much money you spend on designing your garden. For example, if you choose to introduce granite paving, the added value to your home will be greater than if you were to opt for stone paving, due to its durability and its general appearance. Although certain materials throw up different prices, the rule of thumb suggests that adding paving into your garden will make your home far more appealing to a potential buyer than a bog-standard lawn and an assortment of plants and shrubs.
Whether you prioritise the value of your home, the way your garden looks or the time you have to spend on it, paving is becoming an increasingly popular option for many homeowners, and because of all of the benefits listed above, there is no reason as to why paving should not be the focal point of your garden and your home.
