In summer a patio or stretch of decking can make you feel as if you have an entire extra room - a terrace makes alfresco dinners an effortless luxury or can convert a bleak rooftop into to a verdant jungle. Whether you have a small garden or acres we encourage you to say 'no' to boring concrete slabs! Try traditional brick paving in a herringbone or basket weave pattern or a mosaic of cobblestones? We've put all hands on deck to find you the very best ideas for a patio to suit your garden...
