There are many of options for your backyard landscaping when you consider the use of pavers. Whether you want to build a new outdoor patio to entertain guests, or you want create pathways throughout your gardens, pavers are a versatile material to use.  From small, intricate pavers to large stepping stones, you can build a beautiful garden landscape with some creativity, and a little bit of skill.  

Building Pathways That Connect Your Gardens

If your yard has a number of gardens but doesn't seem to be very organized, creating pathways between your gardens can help. Depending on how formal you want the pathways, you can use small, interlocking pavers to create a substantial pathway in your backyard. You can also try using simply stepping stones, which will create interest in your backyard without as much work as a formal pathway. Stepping stones can be a number of shapes, but are generally round or square when used as a pathway. Keep in mind that the stones shouldn't be too far apart to allow for ease of access in your backyard.

Creating an Outdoor Patio With Pavers

When you have an outdoor space that you want to entertain in, you can do more than simply build a deck for your yard. You can build a patio using pavers, which will act as a permanent platform that you can put furniture, planters, and even a fire pit on. It can get complicated to build an outdoor patio with pavers, because you will need gravel, string, pavers, a level, and a number of other materials in order to get the job done right. If you don't have the skills to create an outdoor patio on your own, it's important to hire a landscaper to handle the job for you.

Retaining Walls Add Character to Your Backyard

If your yard is uneven or hilly, you can create areas of interest throughout your backyard by using retaining walls made out of pavers. This type of material will generally interlock, giving you the ability to create walls that are straight or rounded, depending on the type of stone that you choose. When you want to create a garden in an area that is sloped, a retaining wall can be just the answer to make the garden look great.
