Pavers are becoming increasingly popular in outdoor hardscaping. In addition to being an easy and attractive choice for walkways, they are also perfect for patios.

Here’s a quick overview of the process used to create a patio from pavers:
- Create a sketch of your yard, including walkways, trees, doors and all other elements.
- Establish the lines of view from your windows and doors, and add these to your sketch.
- Research local building codes related to patio design.
- Add your desired patio location to the sketch, taking into account the locations of other elements and view lines.
- Make sure you include entry and exit points in your sketch. Locate these in areas where there is plenty of room for people to walk.
- If you’re planning on placing a grill on the patio, look into heat-resistant materials that are sage for this part of your patio.
- Work with your building team to choose the pavers for your patio. Consider using different border patterns and retaining walls near exits and entrances.
