A Guide to Creating the Perfect Terrace

If you are designing your dream home and wish to create a stunning outdoor rest and relaxation area, a terrace is the perfect feature to add to the rear of the property, and if you already have a patio that has seen better days, it might be time for a revamp. The very first thing to consider when looking to build a terrace is available space; you may have more than enough and can therefore build a terrace that is suitable for entertaining, or you may be restricted. Either way, talking to a company that designs landscape architecture in Harrogate will help you find the perfect size and shape.

Major Aspects to Consider

When designing a terrace or patio, the following need to be taken into account:

  • Materials – There are a lot of suitable materials; timber decking, block paving, poured or polished concrete, or even natural pavers, and this is something to discuss with the landscape contractor.
  • Colour – You are not limited in any way regarding colour, with concrete grey, the yellowish tone of Cotswold stone, or a reddish paver design, and many homeowners look for a shade of brown that contrasts well with the garden.
  • Shading – There will be times when you wish to screen the terrace from the sun, and with state-of-the-art technology, you could install a fully retractable roof. This would add considerable value to your home, and you would have many years of trouble-free use, with motorised solutions.

If you talk to an experienced landscape gardener, he can quote you for the project and help you with design.
