Equipment options for your patio - room for ideas

A terrace lives not only from the ground underfoot, but also from the Atmosphere around it. Whether it's a small addition or a sophisticated design idea, there are countless possibilities.Ā 

Anyone who decides to take on this project will receive numerous tips for every step, from laying the decking boards to choosing the right materials and decorating.Ā With an eye for detail, the right spacing of the wooden planks and a solid base of gravel, chippings or crushed stone, you can create a place where you can feel completely at ease. feel good.Ā 

We are here for you. Let us advise you without obligation, with a feel for your wishes and an eye for the big picture.

Planting - naturalness that works

Plants immediately create atmosphere - and transform any patio into a green garden paradise. Whether delicate greenery in planters, fragrant herbs or tall solitary shrubs, the right planting creates a natural space that provides shade, creates lines of sight and organises the outdoor area. Deliberately placed plants are ideal, especially in exposed locations. They combine aesthetics with function and create structure.

Privacy screen - privacy with style

If you want to relax on your patio, you want a feeling of security. The right privacy screen plays a key role in this. This is where clever solutions come into play. Tall-growing plants in elegant containers, climbing plants or customised wooden elements that blend harmoniously into the overall picture. Wood is not only a popular material for patio construction, it is also ideal as a privacy screen. Natural, durable and can be combined in a variety of ways.

Decoration & furniture on the terrace

Whether you prefer a lounge to lean back in or a functional dining area for sociable evenings. The furniture on your patio should match your retreat perfectly. It is particularly worth choosing cosy yet practical furniture for patios with optimal sun exposure.Ā 

The whole thing is complemented by a suitable sunshade, which not only protects against strong rays, but also acts as a design element. For indoor sun worshippers, flexible umbrellas or shade-giving plants in tall containers are often the perfect solution.

Cushions, fire bowls, candles or hand-picked figurines create an ambience that invites you to linger. Decorating with natural materials such as wood or stone brings additional warmth to the outdoor area. Playing with different heights, for example by using raised Planters or multi-levelled elements, gives the space a lively appearance. Discreet metal or clay accents look particularly harmonious, especially if the patio is laid with wooden planks or hardwoods.

Water as a living design element

A fountain or water feature on the patio not only provides relaxation, but also naturally masks disturbing noises from the surroundings. Depending on the substrate, whether concrete, gravel bed or chippings, there are various ways in which water can be creatively integrated. A discreet water feature can even find its place on smaller patios. What is important here is a suitable substructure that supports the weight and harmonises with the decking.

Automatic irrigation on the terrace

In a busy everyday life, time in the garden or on the patio is often precious. One Automatic irrigation gives you just that, more time to enjoy. It reliably takes care of every plant, regardless of whether it is growing in a planter on a sunny balcony or in a bed of gravel directly on the ground. Such a solution can be ideally integrated into the planning of your patio design. The base layer plays an important role in the construction of the patio, as does the necessary slope to allow excess water to drain away. Drainage should not be left to chance here.

Whether natural stone, paving, flagstones or patio slabs, any surface can accommodate automatic irrigation if it is properly prepared. There are different variants - from concealed drip hoses to pop-up sprinklers. Especially on a patio right next to the house or under a canopy, this type of technology ensures that the plants thrive as if by themselves. This creates a space that really serves as a place to relax - without the need for a watering can. Our step-by-step guide will help you find the right solution.

Lighting on the terrace

One Sophisticated lighting ensures that your patio can also unfold its full effect in the evening. Designing with light doesn't just start with the first use, it is part of a coherent overall concept. We also think about the right decking when planning. Small spotlights can be discreetly integrated into wooden decking. Stone slabs can be elegantly combined with floor spotlights.

We also pay attention to the slope so that no puddles disturb the light when it rains. If you opt for a patio with a high solar yield, you can collect energy during the day and transform it into soft light in the evening with the help of solar-powered lights. Whether plastic or metal lights, fixed or flexible, there is a suitable solution for every patio.
