4. Concrete Slabs with Gravel Infill
Combining concrete slabs with gravel is a creative and budget-conscious way to build a patio. Large concrete slabs are placed with gaps in between and filled with gravel or crushed stone.
Budget Tips:
- Choose basic concrete slabs and standard gravel to save money.
- Keep the layout simple; straight lines are easier and cheaper than intricate designs.
- Use a weed barrier underneath the gravel to prevent maintenance issues.
Design Idea:
This style creates a modern, minimalist look. Add a few potted plants or a low-maintenance garden along the perimeter to enhance the natural feel of the space.
