Mixing Composite Decking and Garden Slabs for a Modern Outdoor Look

Why Combine Decking and Garden Slabs

The design of the stylish and practical outdoor area frequently implies mixing a variety of materials. Bringing together composite decking and garden slabs is the new trend of the landscape in the UK, not only in practice, but in visual effect. This combination enables you to establish various areas and still have a unified design.

Planning Your Layout

Begin with determining the areas within your patio or garden. Composite decking is ideal where there is seating or dining space or elevated platform whereas paving slabs are ideal where there is a pathway or an open patio or linkage between various garden areas. A layout needs to be planned so that it can have a free flow and achieve a balance appearance.

Choosing Complementary Materials

Choose composite decking boards as well as garden slabs which match in colour and texture. The use of neutral colours is good as well as contrasting colours are able to create depth and interest. To illustrate, the combination of light grey paving slabs and luxurious brown composite decking gives a smooth modern appearance.

Installation Tips

• Place the slabs of the lay garden on a firm base that is well-compacted.
• The composite decking boards are to be fitted on a supporting frame with adequate spacing to allow drainage.
• When changing material, think of the transition between the two materials, creating an edging or trim to make the transition look smooth and professional.

Maintenance Advantages

Slabs and composite decking are all low maintenance. There is no need to stain or seal the decking boards and the garden slabs are of high quality that withstands the weather and stains. The mixture of these gives a gorgeous, long lasting and easy to maintain outdoors area.
