Paved patio's in gardens offer a useful and attractive area for eating and relaxing outdoors. Normally a patio is laid right next to the house but this is not always the case and other factors might determine its location. If the bottom of the garden is sunnier for longer periods than the area next to the house you may wish to construct a patio there instead but, if shade is important to you, then at least part of the patio must provide for this.
Start the project by making a scale plan on graph paper, and then make some photocopies of it so you can draw out different 'arrangements' within the designated areas. You could pave the area with bricks but it's quicker and easier to lay larger square or rectangular paving slabs - although due to their size and weight you'll need a helper to help you lift and move them into place.
