A paved garden has many advantages, here are a few points to help you decide:

In a landscape design, paving is the process of covering a surface with a firm material so that it can be traveled on, sit, cook, eat, and play on. Most common paving materials are: brick, concrete, stone, tile, or limestone – that are often used to cover walkways, driveways, pathways, steps, and backyards as a means to enhancing the aesthetic appearance.

Paving is a great way to plan your garden layout so it will have a focal point – the place where the viewer’s eye is first attracted, to make your front garden appealing. With your chosen layout you can design a symmetrical and organized front yard or back yard that will always look gorgeous.

A few more advantages of paved garden:

Low maintenance: With paved garden, you don’t have to hire a gardener on a regular basis. No grass to mown, but only a few plants to trim. You might even decide on planting trees only, in that case all is left to do is sweep the foliage and maintain the pavements once a year.

Long lasting: When installed by a professional team and maintained annually (clean& weeded), paving can last for over 2 decades!

Easy to repair: As paving gardens are comprised of many small parts, damage repair is extremely straightforward. It is possible to replace broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged bricks or slabs quickly and economically.

Paving styles and patterns

The first thing people see when they come visit, is the exterior of your home. Keeping landscapes simple, not cluttered and neat is always a good idea, and a paved garden is much easier to custom and keep in order.

Structures can be repeated within the design to create rhythm and lines within a landscape: create garden beds, highlight different areas in the garden such as dining area, fire pit, pool area through the paving pattern. Paved patio is both beautiful and practical: it is easy to clean, and a great solution for the outside dining area and kitchen. A paved driveway will look luxurious and level up your outdoor experience.

As for style and patterns, there are many options to choose from:

Decorative paving: Decorative paving such as mosaic, decorative concrete paving, porcelain paving slabs – can add interest to your garden, as a piece of art would do to your wall.

Paving patterns: With even simple slabs, we are able to create cool patterns such as chevron, herringbone, crisscross, mixture of sizes, stretcher bond, etc.

Natural stones: Using natural, asymmetrical stones will create a vintage, european style that has a charm to it.

Bricks: Bricks have an historic and timeless feel to them. Bold red bricks feels particularly traditional; gray ones will look more modern. Bricks have a rustic and contemporary look that never goes old.

A combination of pavers and greenery: If you would like to add a touch of green to your outdoors while keeping it low maintenance, go for this option: large rectangular or square concrete pavers set with narrow gaps, and filled by low planting of grass.
