A new look for your home should not rely on significant restructuring projects or facelifts that will have you reeling under the weight of phenomenal figures. Dollars and cents can be used in far more clever ways to give your home a fresh look with pavers for landscape design. Landscaping features give your home a new look and add considerable value to your home.
A paver patio, a walkway or edging for your soft scape can add fine detail and serve a specific purpose in opening up potential spaces to novel and innovative possibilities. A good water feature, pots and urns and strategically placed lighting used around the home can enhance the experience of any landscape feature you add.
Patio & Firepit
The moment you see a patio, it immediately conjures up images of family and friends gathered together, spending time with each other and having fun. This is why paver patios are a great addition to your backyard. They immediately speak of sophistication, provide an open space with a layered experience and add a new dimension with complementary paver textures, colors and shapes to your backyard. Place a fire pit in the center, and you have a warm, welcoming spot for cozy winter gatherings that are bound to excite people.
Walkway
A wide walkway leading up to your front door with potted plants on each side is one way to add a welcoming note to your front yard. Paved walkways are attractive features that clean up a space and add character, whether in the front yard or the backyard. The possibilities of looks and shapes are truly up to you. A neat geometric pattern of pavers interspersed with river stones can be used to create a modern look, and you can incorporate irregular shapes with mulch to create a rustic vibe. You can add circular pavers as stepping stones or add a whimsical look to your front yard rockery with them. Paver walkways make for a visually exciting detail.
Edging for Softscapes
If your front or backyard has trees, flowering plants and evergreens planted in neat rows or curved beds can add a sophisticated and clean look to your landscape design. It serves two primary purposes. First, it keeps the mulch in place and secondly, it makes sure there is a definitive border to keep the grass away. Edging can also be used to set off different spaces in your yard. Stone and concrete pavers should be your materials of choice when designing your yard.
Property analysts estimate a twenty percent increase in the value of your home with the addition of landscaping features. All you need is a sophisticated addition to your front yard to increase curb appeal or an extension with a specific purpose and style in your backyard. The golden rule is to opt for a feature that needs minimum maintenance.
