Water Features

A water feature is a stunning way to upgrade the appearance of your garden. Whilst these features emulate a luxurious look and feel, you will be pleased to know that it is relatively affordable. Water features create a beautiful and relaxing ambience in your garden, especially in the summer months. You can use block paving to create a water feature or surround your pre-existing water centrepiece with block paving to accentuate it further.  

Mix'N'Match

Do you want to have a unique look to your garden? Consider mixing ‘n’ matching the sizes of the slabs, to create an interesting look. This is an easy way to make your garden stand out. If you are interested in this, then get in touch with us at Beesley and Fildes, and we can help you decide on which sizes to purchase.

Harmonise with Your Home 

A great way to make your home and garden harmonise with one another is by choosing block paving that is a similar colour to the bricks of your home. By reflecting the style will create a beautiful and consistent look for your property. We have lots of different slabs (varying in colour, pattern and material) so you will be able to find something for you. 

Patterns 

A creative way to get the most out of your block paving is by looking at the different patterns available for paving. There are lots of different geometrical shapes you can get on the pavement slabs. You could keep it minimalistic or get something that is really out there! This can set the vibe for the garden, and be an extremely eye-catching feature for guests. 

Create Levels

You can use block paving to create steps in your garden. This will create the illusion that your garden is larger than it actually is, as well as provide practical and aesthetic advantages. Steps look fantastic and provide you with a level to put outdoor furniture (e.g. table and chairs) without these having to ruin your grass.

Cosy Vibes

Using block paving to surround a small, cosy and tranquil fire pit is a practical yet stunning way to use block paving creatively in your garden. Keep yourself warm on cooler nights by sitting around the fire. The block paving will highlight the feature in your garden, and make it stand out to guests. The paving will also create an even and level ground to place outdoor chairs around the fire, therefore creating a beautiful outdoor living space. Check out this great guide on choosing the best fire pit for your garden. 

Living Space

Creating an outdoor living space with an outdoor couch, cushions and blankets and a table is a great way to get more out of your garden. You can use block paving to surround this area to make it stand out more to your guests and to make it separate from your grassy area. This is a fun project, as there are endless possibilities! Create a bohemian vibe by using warm colours and lanterns or keep it minimalist with simple furniture and minimal decoration. 

Elevated Garden Beds 

Using block paving to level up your garden beds is a great way to highlight the plants, flowers or bushes that you are most proud of in your garden! This will put a focus on the natural aspects of your garden. 

Stepping Stones 

Using block paving to create stepping stones is a cute and easy way to add a unique element to your garden. You will only need around 6-8 slabs of paving, depending on the size of your garden and the extent you would like the stepping stones to be. If you have children, stepping stones are a great way to get them in the garden, as they could use them for hopscotch or use chalk on the slabs.
