Picture It: The best FREE online tool to visualise new paving at your home

Struggling to picture how paving would look in your garden, patio or driveway? What if we told you that you can bring your design ideas to life in the palm of your hand? 

If you’ve decided to revamp your garden patio or driveway this year, you’re probably keen to see how different designs, colours and styles of paving look in your outdoor space. 

It’s not an easy thing to do, especially when you want to visualise your new paving in a large space like a driveway or patio. 

Want to make your project inspiration and planning even easier? One of our friendly team of Paving & Walling Managers are on hand with a Tobermore Home Consultation.

How to visualise paving in your outdoor space

You could get a few samples of paving and lay them out to see how they look. The trouble with this is it doesn’t give you a feel for how the area would look fully paved.

Another option is to go straight to a landscape designer and ask them to draw up some designs for you. This is a great idea if you’re embarking on a major renovation project with a healthy budget. But it might be too costly if all you want is a quick idea of which paving would look best.

You could also look at a paving brochure, or view some recently completed projects. This helps you see all the different paving options in-situ, but it doesn’t give you any idea of how the paving would look at your property. Lighting conditions, nearby features such as trees and planting, and the style of your own property will all have an impact on the look and feel of your new paving.

So, is there a better way? Is it possible to get an accurate picture of how new paving could look, or do you just have to guess?
