Whether you're just moving into a new home or making improvement plans for your current one, landscaping materials can have a big impact on the overall appearance of your yard. When used thoughtfully, pavers add both function and curb appeal to your outdoor spaces. Here are some inspiring ideas for your next outdoor project. 

How to Upgrade Your Landscaping With Pavers

1. Build a Patio

Patios are an essential element in any outdoor living space, providing a setting for family cookout or a comfortable backyard respite for reading or drinking your morning coffee.

Concrete or stone pavers can be used to design attractive, durable, and low-maintenance patios that stand up well to the elements and won't deteriorate with everyday use. Match the colors to other landscaping materials in your yard for a cohesive and elegant look, and choose a variety with a rough, non-slick surface to prevent falls on rainy days or after cleaning.

2. Install Pathways

Paver pathways allow you to create elegant avenues for people to follow from the front yard to your door, through garden beds, or to focal points or areas of interest in your yard, such as fountains, fruit trees, or the swimming pool.

When selecting landscaping materials such as brick, flagstone, or field stones, ensure the hue and design elements match the color and architectural features of the home. This will blend with the overall aesthetic and tie your home and landscaping together.

3. Create Planters

Because paving stones can be purchased in a variety of materials, colors, and shapes, they're incredibly versatile and can be used for numerous design elements outside of walkways and edging. Planter boxes can be easily made using leftover pavers from a larger project or as an inexpensive addition to your backyard patio or entryway. Create elegant boxes using mortar or stone adhesive and fill them with soil and your favorite flowers or plants to add color and life to any outdoor space.
