I recently blogged about how much I love flagstone patios and how much of a dramatic change in your landscape they can make. I want to continue with the same theme, except provide an alternative choice to flagstone. In some cases... a more cost effective choice.
Paver Patios are an elegant way to enhance your landscape. I truly love incorporating a "courtyard" feel to a landscape. Paver patios is a big step towards creating this look. You would be surprised that cost for pavers is extremely competitive with concrete. However, it simply can't be beat in terms of looks. Especially as an alternative to a typical poured concrete slab . It's a bit more than standard concrete and less than stamped concrete. It also cost less than flagstone due to the cost of flagstone material.
Many folks are downsizing now a days from larger homes into condos and town homes. Generally the backyards for these types of dwellings are extremely small and the landscape budget has already been spent on the rest of the building leaving the owner with a landscape that is for lack of a better term.... "lack luster."
Imagine getting rid of the grass that never grows, the shrubs that are "hanging by a thread" and creating your own personal mini-courtyard that you can enjoy year round. If done properly, paver patios require almost no maintenance so you can throw the lawn mower away! Add a few pots and planters around your new outdoor living space and you would think your in pioneer square, downtown Seattle!
Other applications that hardscape pavers are used for is driveways, patios, pathways, fire pit areas and a place to put that darn bar-b-q. :)
