Installing a patio in your backyard? Consider using pavers instead of a concrete hardscape design. According to Lawn Innovations in Dayton, OH, a durable paver patio can add a long-lasting, natural beauty to your outdoor space. Plus, you’ll have a lot more freedom to experiment with design when choosing pavers for your patio installation.

Here, Lawn Innovations lists five of the most popular designs for paver patios:

• Tumbled: This is the standard stylistic choice for paver patios. The edges of these bricks are worn down to create a weathered appearance, as if they were placed many decades ago.  
• Textured: If you want your backyard living area to have a more rustic look, these unique pavers will fit the bill. Textured pavers offer improved traction and are often laid in areas prone to moisture—such as around pools or ponds—to prevent slips and falls.
• Smooth: If you’re looking for symmetry and cohesion, smooth pavers are ideal. These streamlined bricks have a solid surface, and their simple, polished design can enhance the appearance of any modern landscape and garden.
• Brickstone: If you are hoping to achieve a classic look with your pavers, brickstone is the way to go. Like tumbled pavers, these traditional bricks are slightly worn for an old-world look. If you want to customize the configuration of your pavers, you can request patterns like herringbone, basket weave, running, and stacked-bone.
• Plaza Stone: These embossed pavers have soft, curved edges, providing another variation on the aged, eroded style. Plaza stone pavers can be arranged with a mix of sizes and colors, so a walk in your backyard feels like a trip to a land from long ago.
