You can create a unique space with the addition of pavers that can turn your yard into an outdoor living space.

Add an outdoor kitchen, a beautiful paver patio, a fire pit, some landscape lighting, synthetic grass and now have your outdoor living room where families can gather and enjoy time together. Of course, this new area expands your entertaining possibilities, too.

Pavers

Stone pavers aren’t just for driveways anymore. Pavers have emerged as a key element to beautify your outdoor living spaces. They can be used to create patios, pool decks, retaining walls, and walkways. Many homeowners will be surprised at the variety of colors and shapes now featured in modern pavers. They can also be configured in many ways, in a single type or color or combined with other colors and textures to create a unique look.

Of course, they are durable and can stand-up to all kinds of traffic and climates, hot or cold.

Outdoor kitchens

Once you have created an expanded outdoor living area with pavers, the next step is to add an outdoor kitchen, giving your new space added functionality. Here again, the designs are endless, from small efficient cooking areas to spaces with a full functioning kitchen with a variety of appliances and storage areas to hold all your cooking essentials such as spice racks, pull-out cutting boards, utensils and tableware.

Your outdoor kitchen needs an accompanying dining and living area. There are many choices of fabric and materials for their outdoor furniture, allowing them to create their very own outdoor style.

Fire pits

An essential for outdoor living spaces is a fire pit. There are many varieties with one sure to blend with your outdoor area. Fire pits add that special ambiance to your outdoor space and invite family and guests to gather round and share the warmth and glow.
