What’s hot for summer 2025

Two longstanding trends with a modern twist are wowing customers this year, with paving and decking given a whole new look.

Composite decking is hugely popular, a modern and hard-wearing take on traditional timber. Unlike wood it doesn’t need to be sealed or varnished, and can be cleaned with a quick mop or squirt of a hose. And it’ll keep its fresh look for years, making it the perfect choice for sunny spots or high footfall areas.

Available in half a dozen colours and textures, including some brand new for 2025, there’s a composite decking look for every taste, and its available in different lengths. Quick and easy to install, it can transform a garden in a day.

The next big thing for hard landscaping is porcelain paving slabs, a high end, stylish alternative to traditional sandstone or concrete slabs. Available in multiple colourways and sizes, these can transform the humble patio into the epitome of elegance.

Of course, IBT also stocks a full range of traditional hard landscaping materials, and has decorative aggregate and decorative walling options too.

Fed up of mossy grass, bald patches or having to cut it every two weeks? Quality artificial grass looks realistic, feels good underfoot and is easy to maintain – just a blitz with the hose and it’s as good as new. IBT have a range of grass types and price points in store.
