Paving stones are a great way to sculpt the perfect driveway, walkway or patio. Easy to install and maintain, it's hard to go wrong. Certified paving company Beausoleil & Sons in Cranston, RI specializes in cobblestone, which appeals to both traditional and artistic sensibilities. You can use bricks, blocks, natural stone, and other patterns to create an interlocking design or a more rugged look. 

If you're interested in accenting your landscape with quality pavers, here are some ideas to get you started:

• Patios: A step above stamped concrete, paving stone patios are much easier to take care of and are a lot kinder to your feet during the summer. You can choose from many shapes and patterns, and a well-maintained stone patio can last many years.

• Driveways: Paving stone driveways are extremely durable and handle car weight very well. Maintenance requires scrubbing with soapy water to remove dried mud, along with regular weeding between cracks. While natural cobblestone wear is considered attractive, it is optional to apply a protective sealant. Unlike traditional asphalt or concrete driveways, repairing paver stone driveways leaves no one the wiser; if anything cracks, just replace pavers one at a time.

• Walkways: Match your driveway with your patio using the same tiling pattern, or create an entirely new world behind your house. Beausoleil & Sons can create a winding road through your garden or pond to create a mesmerizing effect.
