How Can You Use Pavers to Transform Your Back Garden?

Posted on

If you want to transform a bland back garden into something you can be proud of, you may need to develop a landscaping plan. You may want to develop certain areas into magnificent flowerbeds, add a gazebo and seating area or introduce some other features. As you plan, you will want to ensure that people can wander through the garden when it's finished to admire your handiwork and take full advantage of the space. So you certainly want to add some pathways as part of the mix. How can you achieve this goal through the creative use of pavers?

Transform Your Garden

Paving stones are an excellent choice, especially when it comes to giving all-weather access to your new garden. And they can be more than simply functional but can add to the overall design. For example, you can create intricate patterns and use various types of paver for the best effect.

Use Stones and Shingle

Many people will choose to add concrete paving stones interspersed by pea shingles, tiny stones that have rounded edges due to natural weathering. The results can certainly be aesthetically pleasing and create a clean and contemporary look.

Create a Paved Pathway

Alternatively, you can lay down a paved pathway by placing your pavers adjacent to each other with a small gap in between. This can create more of an irregular design but could work particularly well where you have flowerbeds with different plants on each side of your pathway.

Use Paver Lights for Illumination

If you want to take advantage of your garden at all hours of the day and night, think about adding some paver lights. Put some of these at intervals between other pavers to light up the path ahead. If you are adding a gazebo or seating area, these papers will work particularly well in this area as an elegant addition to your plans.

Reinforce Your Garden Areas

Finally, think about the creative use of pavers in any large, lawned area. They can help the overall design but could also be functional. For example, they could allow you to place deckchairs or other lawn furniture in areas where they may otherwise have damaged the grass surface.
