Landscaping trends are always evolving. Recently, porcelain paving has become a popular option and a great alternative to natural stone. It looks great in almost any setting and has impressive technical specifications, so it’s not hard to see why it’s on the rise. Here are its benefits:

Low maintenance

Begin by measuring the area. Next, peg it out with stakes and string so you’re aware of the area you’re working with. Once you’ve done this, you can start removing turf and topsoil (15cm depth) to allow room for the foundations. To level it off, you can use a wooden plank. Dig out plant roots as these can cause problems later on.

Hard wearing

Porcelain is very hard wearing due to its high density. It’s ideal for things like paths and patios as it’s scratch resistant. This makes it perfect for anywhere that has high footfall.

Modern

Porcelain paving looks very current which is why many people are drawn to it. It has a smooth look which makes it suitable for almost any modern garden.

Moisture

Many ceramics can crack once they’ve absorbed water. However, this isn’t an issue with porcelain as it’s non-porous. This makes it ideal for places that experience a lot of rainfall. It’s slip resistant, unaffected by sunlight and is very resistant to severe weather changes including frost and heat.
