Patio dilemma

[Laurasanford111]

Hi all

So we have a section of garden that's woodchiped around raised beds and path leading to rest of the garden. My dh then put in a small patio for table and chairs not understanding that I didn't want woodchip left around the outside by that time it was to late.

As it stands our options are either to cut more paving slabs in half etc to fit the edges that have the woodchip or, put some kind of brick there we have some in same colour as the paving. The annoying part is that when walking you kick bits of woodchip onto the patio bit... I did see someone with a patio who had edging and then actually planted small shrubs into the woodchip but there's was a lot bigger than ours.

If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know! I've ordered some climbers for the fence and going to make this a lovely area but just have no idea how to go about this

Thanks

That is tiny, you can barely move the chairs

Take up the bricks - lay more paving and then put the eding down

Can you put a whole paving slab along the edges without the fences?
Making it bigger would be my first choice - ideally without half slabs all the way round.

You just need to make it bigger, I can't see what the problem with the woodchip is or what the thing about planting plants into it is about.

Are those paving slabs even cemented down? The edging bricks aren't. Just lift the lot and do it properly.

@Rollercoaster1920 the slabs are cemented down yes, bricks are not

@SnowsFalling you would only be able to fit half a paving slab there not a whole one, oh dear what have we done 😅

Why can you only put half a slab down. There is lots of room at the front of the picture for a whole slab can you post a wider angle photo?

@boopboopbidoop sorry I should have made more sense, that's the pathway, it's only the left right and back bit by fence that needs sorting

I would get more of the bricks and lay them in the opposite direction (perpendicular to the edge of the terrace) to make a much bigger border, and make the terrace bigger that way.
