When you daydream about your beautiful new paver patio, you don’t imagine somebody tripping over a crooked paver and tumbling into your avocado corn salsa.
That’s because in your daydream, your pavers are expertly installed. No uneven pavers sticking up, or sunken pavers, or cracked pavers.
Everybody loves a good shortcut, right?
But it doesn’t always work out.
Like that peanut butter and jelly swirled together in one jar. That just seems wrong.
Same thing with installing pavers over concrete. It sure sounds easier than jackhammering out your existing concrete, right?
Unless you’re an otter, you’ll probably spend more time on your pool patio than actually in the pool.
Is your pool patio design perfect?
Lots of pool patio areas aren’t very inviting. Patios with outdated concrete squares are pretty common in Florida. And not very exciting.
You can do a lot better than that.
Pondering a paver patio or driveway, but have some concerns?
Maybe you know a guy whose pavers started sinking.
Maybe your neighbor had a paver driveway installed but the color faded.
Worried about paver patio drainage? Tripping? Weeds sprouting in-between?
Everybody loves a patio. It’s a relaxing space to lounge with a good book, host a dinner party, or watch the neighbor mow his lawn while you happily do nothing.
But what patio material to choose? Concrete? It’s cheap, right? More money to buy steaks to grill.
Or pavers? Pavers look pretty fancy. They’d make the whole yard look better. And they make a really stunning driveway. But can you afford it?
If you’ve decided to add a fire pit to your patio and all you can think about now is s’mores, we don’t blame you.
In fact, save us a couple, will you?
Meanwhile, there are a few things to keep in mind, besides watching for a sale on graham crackers.
Is it possible to find paradise in your own backyard?
What if it had a pool, a mini beach with a hammock and fire pit, festive string lights, and plenty of comfy lounge chairs?
Pretty close.
Pondering pavers?
A new driveway, maybe, or an impressive new paver patio?
Welcome to the world of paver patterns.
It’s a bigger world than you think.
There’s a reason professional landscape designers get college degrees.
Man, there’s a lot of stuff to keep in mind.
When Orlando landscape designers study landscape design, they learn about mass, form, line, texture, and color. Then they combine these elements to transform your yard.
Sounds kind of fancy. But it’s why your new paver patio could have such graceful lines. It’s why your yard could be filled with plants with a variety of intriguing colors and textures.
