Patios and Terraces: Transforming Your Outdoor Living Space

A thoughtfully designed patio or terrace can completely change how you use your garden. At Barker & Farris, we create elegant, practical outdoor spaces where you can relax, dine, and entertain in comfort. Every design is shaped around your lifestyle — from a quiet corner retreat to a large terrace made for gatherings.

We combine creative design with expert craftsmanship and durable materials to make sure your patio not only looks beautiful but stands the test of time.

Why Choose Us for Your Patio or Terrace?

01.

Custom Design for Every Home

Your patio should feel like a natural extension of your home. We tailor every design to your style and how you want to use the space — whether that’s a sun-trap breakfast spot, a family dining terrace, or a peaceful corner to unwind.

02.

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship

We use premium paving and construction materials selected for strength, finish and character. Every patio is built to last and crafted with care by our experienced team.

03.

Seamless Function and Style

A great patio is both beautiful and practical. We consider details like drainage, lighting, planting and access so your outdoor space works perfectly day to day as well as looking stunning.

Tranquil Garden Terrace & Lawn: Real Stories

In this garden redesign, the old paving, lawn and much of the planting were removed and into a calm and inviting retreat. We constructed a raised circular lawn with brick edged path to one side complemented with grey sandstone paving. The result — an expended tranquil spot to unwind and enjoy the garden all year round.

Raised Sandstone Terrace: Real Stories

Leading from the side path of the house, we constructed a raised sandstone terrace edged with sandstone cobble edging. The height gives lovely views across the garden and makes this the perfect space for gatherings, summer meals and quiet moments alike.

Reclaimed Brick Path: Real Stories

In another project, we used reclaimed brick to create a graceful path linking a lower terrace to a secluded seating area. The aged bricks add charm and warmth while guiding you towards a peaceful garden hideaway.

Sandstone Terrace: Softwood Sleeper Bordered Path

Here, we designed a compact circular terrace using Raj Green smooth sandstone bordered with sandstone setts. Softwood sleepers were installed to retain the flower bed and lawn and provide a gentle sloping path to exit the garden. The result is a smart, sociable outdoor living area that’s ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in style.
