When you are ready to renovate and transform your backyard into a beautiful, customized living space for you, family, and friends, the first step is looking for California landscape pavers. A newly paved patio can make a significant difference in the entire feel of your yard, but that is only the beginning. There are many innovative and appealing ideas possible with pavers.

Patio paving is generally the starting point in a backyard, but is not the end. You can design your patio to the best size and shape for your property and to enhance your house. The style you choose will help you create in the remaining space. Make sure you build with plenty of room for your patio furniture, outdoor cooking, and any entertaining furniture. From here a wonderful idea is one or more walkways leading to other key parts of your landscape. Paved walkways give the feel of greater space and separate, intimate areas as well as cutting down on lawn maintenance. You might consider connecting two smaller paved patios with paths, or design walkways leading around the house to the front. Whatever you decide, do not settle for the plain rectangular patio common to recent homes when you can have so much more.

Another distinctive and lovely option with California landscape pavers are retaining walls. These low walls are a wonderful addition on the sides of walkway paths or surrounding areas of greenery or flowers. Small fountains, bushes or trees are completely reshaped and become quaint with a matching paved retaining wall around them. If your backyard has any hills or slant, retaining walls open up a new chance for several spaces of flat spaces to work with.

Your swimming pool will be improved more than you thought possible with a paved pool deck surrounding it. The contrast of the glimmering water and the textured stones is always appealing and will draw you and others. Again the chance to completely customize pavers is helpful in making your current pool look as gorgeous as possible.

Once your patio is laid out, there remain several more options for designing your perfect sanctuary. Choosing a built in BBQ grill can be fun and give you a chance to cook and entertain outdoors for years to come. Standing in the ideal location, with counter space just where you need it, there is no question you will be using your grill far more often. And top it all off with an enjoyable and luxurious fire pit. Everyone loves the feel of an open fire under the stars, so bring the camp feel to your backyard.

There are no limits to what you can do to improve and renovate your backyard with California landscape pavers. Look through some photographs and begin dreaming now.
