To improve your garden design and make your outdoor spaces easier to use, adding a walkway or patio is an effective choice. One popular way to do this is with stone or concrete pavers. Here are a few ideas to help you create a unique and beautiful space with these landscaping materials.

Unique Ways Pavers Can Enhance Your Home

1. Styles

The word "pavers" covers a wide variety of shapes, colors, textures, and materials. They can be roughly shaped to create an exciting abstract look, uniformly square to fit a minimalist aesthetic, or warm-colored with rounded corners for a cozy, rustic feel.

2. Borders

The simplest way to add visual interest and create contrast is to use a different color or shape of paver for the border of your space. For extra interest, you can divide your patio or walkway into sections using the border color.

3. Extension

Look at the area around your paved space for ideas. If it touches the home, you might try matching the flooring inside the door to extend that space outside. If it's a covered area, try to echo the roofing in your choice of paver colors. You can also complement elements of your garden design, such as planters.

4. Layout

Pavers don't have to be arranged on a simple grid. You might try marking off a small section with a different color or orientation of stone or have the pavers radiate from one spot to create a focal point. You can also create patterns with the layout, even using simple, uniform paver shapes.

5. Round

Curved edges are another way to depart from simple squares and grids—this tactic can help your patio or porch flow naturally into your garden design. This works especially well when paired with the radiating focal point.
