Using Pavers to Update Your Outdoor Living Space

Spring will be here before you know it, and if you’re looking to update your outdoor living space this year, now is the time to get started! The possibilities are endless when it comes to ways to enhance your backyard, but some of the most popular hardscaping trends are created with pavers. With their versatility and durability, pavers can be used for almost any project. Check out these paver trends for 2024:

Comfort Living

Built-in outdoor fireplaces and firepits made with pavers have been steadily growing in popularity over the past several years. Homeowners are now extending these areas even more by incorporating large fire tables that can accommodate increased seating. With built-in fire features, you’ll never have a chilly night outdoors.

Bringing the Indoors Out

When you build a beautiful outdoor space, you want to make the most of it. Outdoor grill islands and grill surrounds allow you to enjoy a meal outside without having to keep going in and out of the house to prepare it. When built with pavers they will blend in seamlessly to your hardscape.

Zoning and Walkways

Pavers can also be used to differentiate certain areas of your outdoor landscape, such as a lounge area with a couch or a dining area with a table and chairs. They can also be utilized to create walkways to direct guests around the house.

Mix and Match Pavers

The various shapes, textures, and colors of pavers can be used in many ways to give your outdoor living area a unique look. An accent color paver can be used as border and different shapes can be matched together to form a one-of-a-kind pattern.

Less is More

New construction houses are typically larger and take up more of the lot space. Because of this, smaller outdoor living areas are becoming more common. Since pavers can be used in so many ways, they are a smart option to maximize the features that can be added in the smaller backyard area.

Eco-Friendly Options

Permeable pavers are a great option for homeowners concerned about the environment. These pavers are made of a porous material and have a deep, gravel base that allows stormwater to flow directly into the ground, rather than creating excess run-off.

In addition to their flexibility and durability, pavers are also easy to maintain and are affordable. Contact Dreamscape Designers today to learn more about how you can use pavers for your upcoming hardscape project.
