Opportunities for paver designs include and are not limited to walkways, patios, garden accents and courtyards, firepits, borders, driveways, pool decking, foyers, water features, foot paths, vehicle trails and much more. If you can dream it, pavers can be used for it. In addition, being that pavers are easy to maintain with a simple sweep or rinse, you can expect to keep this outdoor design element in place for years to come.
