'How to Design a Patio Step-by-Step' is a garden design book that will guide you through planning the perfect patio, quickly and easily. The book will show you simple techniques that will enable you to design a patio that enhances your home and garden with the right style and type of paving, that looks great all year and suits your lifestyle needs.
You'll learn really simple techniques to make sure your new patio looks great with the rest of your garden, whether your garden is established or a completely blank canvas. These low cost solutions are highly effective and will help give your garden the 'WOW' factor.
The book includes landscaping design ideas for your entire garden, so you can improve more than just your patio.
The book is perfect for complete beginners and covers how to:
• avoid the most common patio design mistakes
• choose the best location for your patio
(it's not always right next to the house)
• plot your patio and garden onto paper
(critical to get right in order to build it)
• properly plan your patio to get the right size, shape, and style of patio to suit your home.
• make the patio area look and feel longer or wider
with some cunning design tricks
• design a patio that works with the whole garden
• effectively tackle changes in level
, in a safe and visually pleasing way
• design a beautiful garden on a budget
•
make the most of the available space using simple design tricks
• successfully incorporate built in planters, seating and lighting
•
choose the right building materials from ethical sources
• double check you've got everything right before your patio is built
•
how to choose the right professional to construct your patio
A little bit of time spent planning your patio is a very valuable investment. It takes as much time and money to build a poorly or non-planned patio as it does a well designed patio. The visual difference, though, is enormous. The book's main focus is on design and how to make your whole garden look great. It does include some basic construction information but this is not meant to be a DIY guide on patio building.
You don't need to be a great artist to design a great looking garden patio. The design tricks and techniques you'll learn in this book are simple yet highly effective.

I was very sceptical about purchasing yet another book that teaches you "landscape design", however right from the start Rachel provides you with not only the important things to consider but also in which order to consider them.This theme continues right through the book, taking small but vital steps in the correct order and never letting doubts or constraints to get in your way.When challenges do arise, Rachel tells you exactly how to recognise them and where to push them to, so that your creative process is not impaired but yet those challenges are addressed and conquered.This book is geared to the beginner with step by step instructions using simple tools and techniques that anyone can master and use to produce stunning results.After reading this book I am confident that I can, and will, use these techniques in my own garden and after years of staring at it in bewilderment and trying and failing to come up with ideas or results, I can now design and produce an area that will be both practical and beautiful.Thank you Rachel you have truly inspired me.How to Design a Patio (How to Design Your Garden Series)
