Brett Riven Slate Olive Black – Bradwell, Great Yarmouth
We are know that patios are the go-to solution for turning your garden, or part of it, into an outdoor living space. A well considered patio will integrate your home seamlessly into your garden, providing a solid surface for garden furniture and potted plants.
From our initial meeting with our client in Bradwell it was clear to see they had a real vision for what they wanted to achieve. The garden needed to be split across two levels with space for flower borders, raised beds, a formal lawn area and plenty of seating. To compliment the surroundings we used Brett Raven Slate Olive Black with a white cement in-fill. A key feature of the garden and patio is the circular flow of the joining components. Everything from the seating backdrop in the corner of the garden to the step leading to the patio follows a constant flow, drawing your eye around the garden as it takes you on a journey of discovery.
