Creating an outdoor space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing can be a rewarding process for any homeowner. Whether you're moving into a new house or looking to redesign your current garden, landscaping offers an exciting opportunity to enhance your external spaces. One of the most versatile and timeless materials you can incorporate into your garden design is flagstones. In this blog, we'll explore how to use exterior flagstones to create stunning patios, garden paths, sun terraces, and functional storage spaces. Additionally, we'll highlight the importance of consulting a garden designer for advice, guidance and optimal tree and plant placement. Don’t forget the value of choosing the right garden furniture.

The Timeless Appeal of Flagstones

Flagstones have been a staple in garden design for centuries, prized for their natural beauty and durability.

Our selection includes the rustic Old Farmhouse Green Antique, the elegant Old Grey Exterior, the warm Beige Antique, and the charming Forest Green Cobbles. These flagstones not only provide a traditional aesthetic but also ensure your garden remains stylish for years to come.

Creating Patios and Garden Paths

One of the most popular uses of flagstones in landscaping is the creation of patios and garden paths. A patio serves as the heart of your outdoor living space, perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing. By using flagstones like the Old Grey Exterior, you can achieve a sophisticated look that complements a variety of architectural styles.

Garden paths made from Forest Green Cobbles or Old Farmhouse Green Antique can guide visitors through your garden, creating a sense of exploration and discovery. These paths can connect different areas of your garden, from the patio to the sun terrace, and lead to secluded spots ideal for quiet reflection.

Designing Sun Terraces

Sun terraces are another fantastic feature that can be enhanced with flagstones. These spaces are perfect for basking in the sun, enjoying a morning coffee, or practising yoga. Using Beige Antique flagstones, you can create a warm, inviting terrace that becomes your go-to spot for relaxation. The natural tones of these flagstones blend seamlessly with the greenery of your garden, offering a serene environment to unwind.

Functional Storage Spaces

Flagstones are not just for decorative purposes; they can also be used to create functional storage spaces within your garden. For instance, a flagstone pathway leading to a discreet storage shed or a series of flagstone steps descending to a basement or garage can be both practical and visually appealing. By integrating Old Grey Exterior or Forest Green Cobbles, you can ensure these areas remain in harmony with the rest of your garden design.

The Role of a Garden Designer

While flagstones provide a solid foundation for your landscaping project, the placement of trees and plants requires a more nuanced approach. This is where a garden designer comes in. A professional garden designer can help you determine the best locations for planting, taking into consideration factors such as sunlight, soil type, and water drainage. They can create a planting plan that complements your flagstone features, ensuring a cohesive and thriving garden.

Selecting the Right Garden Furniture

Once everything is in place, it's time to focus on garden furniture. The right furniture can enhance the functionality and comfort of your outdoor spaces. When selecting garden furniture, consider materials that complement the timeless and traditional look of your flagstones. Wrought iron, teak, and rattan are excellent choices that offer durability and style. Comfortable seating, dining sets, and lounge chairs can transform your patio or sun terrace into an inviting outdoor retreat. There are plenty of websites to explore including Bramblecrest, John Lewis and Garden Trading all offering some great accessories too. 

Garden Games

Don’t forget your garden is the perfect place to have fun too. Whether you are entertaining family or friends or looking to keep little ones occupied, garden games are great to have to hand. We love some of these Giant Lawn Games.
