If you have decided that patio pavers are going to have a place in your plans for a landscape transformation in the York, PA, area, you have many choices ahead of you, not only which size and style and color you prefer but where you will use these pavers. Here are five areas of your outdoor living space where the addition of patio living pavers will make a world of difference in how much you enjoy your landscape.
Backyard Patio
Adding a backyard patio to your home will expand your living space, by providing an excellent spot to entertain guests or simply lounge and enjoy the outdoors with the family. Patio pavers are ideal for this outdoor living area as they are durable and will be able to withstand the freeze-thaw cycle better than traditional poured concrete, in addition to the comings and goings of your family and your guests.
You can choose different shapes and sizes for your patio pavers and create the ideal perch area you’ve always wanted, whether you embark on this landscape transformation journey as a DIY project or hire a landscape contractor to do the work for you.
Front Door Walkway
The front door walkway is likely one of the first things people see when they arrive at your home. You want this route to be visually pleasing as well as a sturdy construction. Patio pavers are excellent materials to use when building a front door walkway, or any walkway for your home. You may find that you want to use the same pavers for your walkways as your patio, to tie in these disparate features of your landscape.
Pool Deck
If you have a pool, part of the overall aesthetics is a pool deck. While you may be focused on all the swimming, a lot of the activity is going to happen outside of the inground pool, for when people want to relax, have an afternoon drink, or get an early start on outdoor dining. Made of slip-resistant pavers, your poolscape can serve as a critical area for your entire outdoor living space.
Fire Pit Surround
Fire pits are welcome outdoor features that can be utilized year-round. To compete the look of a fire pit that looks as if it were created of natural tone, you could have it surrounded by complimentary concrete pavers. Selecting pavers and wall blocks together gives you a way to create a cohesive landscape design.
Outdoor Kitchen Area
If you have an outdoor kitchen area in your backyard, this exterior cooking space can be surrounded by a paver area. If you haven’t built the outdoor kitchen yet but are hoping to do so in the near future, make sure you factor in the addition of a paver patio. You can construct the outdoor kitchen on top of the pavers and have a solid ground on which to do your cooking. Plus, you can match up the material types, so the overall design of the pavers and your kitchen construction blend well together.
