01 / Landscaping with purpose
A terrace that belongs in the garden.
A patio is more than a place to put outdoor furniture. It should connect naturally to the home, provide comfortable routes around the space and sit well alongside existing plants and boundaries.
Our real St Albans project photographs show an extensive light-toned paved terrace next to a white house. Established shrubs and trees soften the edges and make the paved area feel part of the wider garden.
For other St Albans gardens, the brief may be different: better access, refreshed surfaces or a more substantial makeover. We start by considering the actual site rather than assuming the same layout or material will work everywhere.
02 / What we can help with
Thoughtful choices for your outdoor space.
Paving, greenery and the garden's edges all play different roles; the goal is to make them work together.
Patios & outdoor living
We can discuss surface finishes, usable space, the connection to doors and suitable drainage and ground preparation.
Patios & pavingGarden design & makeovers
A bigger change can bring patios, circulation, planting beds, lawns and boundaries into one coherent layout.
Garden makeoversLawns & green space
Lawns can soften hard landscaping and create room for play or relaxation. Site conditions and maintenance preferences affect the best option.
Lawns & turfingBoundaries & structures
Fencing and other features provide privacy and definition, but they need to work with existing planting and changes in level.
Fencing & structures03 / Working together
Plan the surroundings as carefully as the surface.
A good patio design takes the property and its existing garden character into account.
- 01
Start with the use.
Consider dining, seating, circulation and which parts of the garden should stay.
- 02
Understand the site.
Discuss thresholds, access, existing plants, levels and drainage.
- 03
Choose the finish.
Review material appearance, texture, jointing and edge treatment for the space.
- 04
Confirm the scope.
Agree the groundwork and installation requirements before scheduling.
04 / A real project in St Albans
A light-toned garden terrace in St Albans.
These photographs show a genuine Progreen project in St Albans, Hertfordshire. The large paved surface connects the rear of the house to a garden bounded by fencing and mature planting.
The result is an open terrace while the planted surroundings retain their softer, green character. For your own garden, we'll discuss the appropriate materials, preparation and drainage requirements around the actual site.
- House connection
- The terrace extends from the rear doors and adjacent wall.
- Generous usable area
- Large light-toned slabs form a continuous outdoor surface.
- A garden backdrop
- Existing planting and boundaries frame the space rather than disappear behind it.
05 / Practical considerations
The correct build-up is site-specific.
What sits beneath paving, where water goes and how the level finishes against a building all need proper consideration. We'd rather assess those details for your St Albans garden than guess from a photograph.

07 / Useful questions
Before you get started.
Have you carried out work in St Albans?
Yes. The paved terrace photographs on this page are from a genuine St Albans project.
Can new paving work around existing shrubs and borders?
We can discuss how paving meets planting, but the layout and groundwork need to reflect roots, levels and site conditions.
Can you advise on different paving materials?
Yes. The appearance, texture, upkeep and intended use all influence which materials are appropriate.
Will you need to visit before quoting?
Photographs and approximate measurements can help at first. More involved work often needs an assessment of access, levels and the ground.
