Get Your Garden Ready for Summer with J & A Phillips Builders' Merchants, Newport

Create a space for summer barbecues with a patio area

Patios are a great place to relax and unwind during the summer months. Low maintenance, long-lasting and good for our unpredictable weather, patios are understandably a popular option for many gardens in Newport. With more than 30 years' experience of selling patio slabs, J & A Phillips are happy to help you on choosing the right style for your garden. If you provide us with your garden's measurements, our knowledgeable team can advise you on the amount of slabs you will need and provide you with literature containing recommended laying procedures, which is ideal for DIY enthusiasts.

Get your existing patio looking as good as new

We stock a wide range of patio maintenance and cleaning products that will help you to spruce up your old patio. Our brick and patio sealers and cleaners are also great for concrete paths, tarmac drives and block paved areas.

Decking is a cost-effective, attractive alternative to traditional patios

A great way to extend the living space of your home, decking works well even on sloping or uneven gardens. Compared to laying patios, installing decking is a relatively quick and simple task with less excavation and groundwork preparation required. It is also easy to modify and extend, as you require, and can be installed in elevated and split-level designs to create new dimensions to your garden. For more information about our decking and the pricing, contact J & A Phillips.
