It will probably be about 40-50m2 porcelain pal, just for the patio area and that other paved area where the pergola is.

Off the pic? It would be 200m2 ?

No, that's the entire garden size mate. I'm only having the patio down and maybe another slabbed area down the side. I could do it with our young un but I hate bitting and batting.

I prefer the lighter slabs but been told they are a nightmare if you have dogs, forever having to clean them.

That’s the reason I won’t do it, if you have an edge slightly up it stands out a mile and the whole job looks sh*te, I’ve done polished sandstone before and that was a nightmare, the customer chose and hates it now, because it’s slippy when wet and like a 150m2 ice rink when it cold, when done right, like in them pictures, porcelain looks amazing, I just don’t think I’m good enough to put it down like that

What's better than porcelain though for a patio mate?

It depends what look you want, if you want a very modern, high end look then my opinion is nothing looks as good as porcelain if you want traditional I’d go reclaimed, things like Yorkshire stone, if you want just a nice average patio I’d go for natural stone, like Indian sandstone

I was just taking a bit of a guess because I stay away from it, I might have to have a go for £150 m2

They all look grand in the summer don't they but ain't porcelain the easiest to maintain and the hardest to spoil?

Got the courtyard finished, just got to wait now for decorative metal edging for the flower beds so I know where to cut the paving 

p.s I haven’t missed one out, I know part of the flower bed will be there

Yeah, it cleans really easy, with all the other natural stones they are porous so the dirt get into the stone but porcelain isn’t so it’s just on the surface, just don’t drop anything on it because it chips easily
