A dream patio doesn\u2019t need to break the bank.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Inspired by Instagram and Pinterest, our customer Liz blew us away with this budget-friendly project!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked our customers to describe how they would transform their outdoor spaces, with \u00a3500 of Tobermore products up for grabs.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We loved each and every one of the entries we received, but Liz Black stood out for her creativity. We could see she had a vision for her garden. We were delighted to help make her patio dream a reality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following some great service from Matthew in our Paving & Walling Centre, we recommended that Liz use Textured slabs<\/a> in Natural and Garden Stone walling<\/a> in Slate to create a unique outdoor space \u2013 all within Liz\u2019s reasonable budget.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As summer closed in, Liz and her partner got to work on their outdoor space. The pictures speak for themselves \u2013 wow!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cA huge, massive thank you to Tobermore for their generous Facebook prize voucher that allowed us to get our garden ready for summer barbecues! Everyone was so helpful when choosing the products, especially Matthew who took time to help with plans and ideas. Delivery and product – fab! Can\u2019t wait to sit down and enjoy it now – and recover from all the digging!\u201d – Liz Black<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you have a vision for your outdoor space, why not take a look at our inspiration gallery<\/a> and get your mood board started!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
