If you are looking for ways to increase the visual appeal of your landscape design, consider installing pavers on the property. With a variety of colors, textures, and materials to choose from, it’s possible to create an installation to complement the interesting features of your yard or home. When discussing the project with a contractor, below are a few ideas to inspire the transformation.  

3 Interesting Ways to Incorporate Pavers in Landscape Design

1. Create Checkerboard Paths

To help direct traffic, consider creating paths that lead from the house to a patio, garden, water feature, or other elements in the yard. Choosing the right pattern can mirror flooring styles inside the house. Install pavers in two contrasting colors, such as black and white or gray and red, to create a checkerboard pattern. You could also use pavers in one neutral shade and fill in the spaces in between with multicolored pea gravel to add visual interest and texture to the installation.  

2. Make Driveways More Abstract

Pavers are durable and able to withstand the weight of heavy loads, so consider using the materials in your home driveway. Instead of symmetrical slabs, use pavers in different abstract shapes. The stones or tiles can be placed close together to resemble a mosaic pattern or give the appearance of shattered glass. This will present a creative contrast to the clean lines of the house facade.

3. Add Whimsy to a Patio With Asymmetrical Placement

If you want to incorporate a patio in the landscape design, you can make the area more unique by placing rectangular or square pavers randomly on the ground. The free-form style will make the surface the main focal point of the patio. You can balance the whimsical, disorganized effect with minimalist, ultra-modern wooden or metal patio furniture.
