Living Stone "How To" guides
are designed as a quick instruction on how to create a landscaped
space in your garden. We have created our own garden area, working
on a space not much bigger than 16m2. In this area we have created
a rockery, a planted bed sectioned off with path edgings and laid
a patio kit. |

In Living Stones guide to laying a patio, we have
used a Sunstone Mini Circle Kit. This creates an area of hard standing,
and also a feature for the garden area.
Living Stone have a wide variety of patio kits all different shapes
and sizes, so we should have something to suit your requirements.
