Starting an outdoor project can be daunting. Perhaps your garden is a bit of a mess and you don\u2019t know where to start? Or maybe you are feeling uninspired and don\u2019t know which style suits your outside space best?<\/p>\n

Check out our guide to understanding whether a contemporary or traditional style will complement your home<\/p>\n

Modern style garden<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Modern style gardens are largely based on an overall simple style; planting is low maintenance and furniture and lighting is kept simple but functional. When it comes to choosing a hard landscaping material for a modern style garden there is a wide range of paving slabs and paving brick available to choose from.<\/p>\n

Product ranges from Tobermore such as sparkling Sienna with a natural granite textured finish or smooth Shannon which features a vibrant surface layer, are all suited to modern style gardens.<\/p>\n

Shannon<\/a> \u2013 a smooth surface block paving, perfect for bikes, scooters etc<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional style garden<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Traditional gardens tend to be full of colour, planting, trees and textured finishes. Curved paths and features such as paved circles help create that traditional style.<\/p>\n

The classic Tobermore range includes vintage themed products such as Tegula, Retro and Historic.<\/p>\n

Tegula<\/a> \u2013 tumbled effect, similar to weathered stone<\/strong><\/p>\n
