Paving stones, often called pavers, are useful in a number of ways, all of which can be showcased in your backyard oasis. \u00a0Today, we\u2019ll share a bit a few of our landscapers\u2019 common paver applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commonly Applied Uses of Paver Stones in Landscaping<\/span><\/h2>\n

At Fontana Ponds & Water Features, we specialize in generating inspired landscaping designs and installing them for local White Rock homeowners; a major component of that vision often includes paving stones in one or more ways. Here are a few of our favorites!<\/span><\/p>\n

Incredible Patios and Walkways<\/span><\/h3>\n

Paving stones are most often associated with a quaint walkway leading up to a stunning patio, and for good reason. When used to create a walking surface, numerous paving stones come together to create a long-lasting, affordable surface that looks incredible. Paving stones can be used for just about any walking surface and come in a wide variety of stones, colors, textures, sizes, and available patterns; they allow the homeowners to express creativity, match to their home, or fill just about any other patio need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Edging Your Landscaping<\/span><\/h3>\n

Paving stones aren\u2019t just for walkways, however. They offer a permanent, stunning way to \u201cedge\u201d your landscaping, which is just a fancy way of saying that they serve to \u201cseparate things.\u201d Edging is an important part of landscape design, as edging keeps your grass where it should be, partitions off your planters, and guides your guests as to where not to walk upon. If you decide to use paving stones to edge your lawn, you\u2019ll love how low-maintenance things become and how great it looks! Plus, you can even match your edging stones to those of a walkway or patio for an added bonus!<\/span><\/p>\n

Paving Vertically<\/span><\/h3>\n

At Fontana Ponds & Water Features, we love using paving stones in the safe, conventional ways – but we also like to incorporate a bit more daring elements into our design. It\u2019s no wonder, then, that one of our favorite uses of paving stones if of the vertical variety; whether we install an outdoor kitchen lined with pavers, a paving stone raised firepit, or even just a few beautiful, durable retaining walls with this awesome material, it\u2019s sure to look amazing. Paving stones work wonderfully for all of these (and more) backyard applications, as their snug fit, durable composition, and beautiful display all lend themselves perfectly to permanent landscaping elements such as these.<\/span><\/p>\n
