Grey Paved Patio with a Contrasting Border

Grey patio paving in a mixed-size layout with a dark contrasting border beside timber fencing

A completed Benchmark Paving patio with mixed-size grey paving slabs and a dark border that clearly defines the garden seating area.

Grey paving with a framed finish

This patio combines rectangular slabs in several sizes, with light and darker grey tones running through the surface. The varied layout adds interest across the paved area, while the charcoal-coloured border gives it a clear outline.

The paving meets planting space at the edges and sits alongside the timber fencing. Keeping the main area open creates a flexible space for garden furniture, with a continuous paved surface leading through the garden.
