Creative Concrete Paver Ideas: Transform Your Outdoor Space
Concrete pavers can look dull and boring or fun and exciting. It all depends on how you use them. Readily available from online sources and local stores, pavers come in both square or rectangular designs as well as circular shapes. If you think that the only projects you can handle are the same ones your neighbors chose, think again! There are tons of fun and unique ways to use concrete pavers outside that will get your creative juices flowing.
Use pavers like cobblestone
Cobblestone streets have a classic look. You can easily create a similar look in your yard with concrete pavers. The key to making this work is a combo of sizes and shapes. Choosing the same size and shape creates a modern look that isn't quite as unique. Use the pavers to design a walkway through your yard, a small patio, or even a fire pit. A cobblestone base is the perfect spot for an outdoor dining area where you can enjoy meals with friends.
Make a tropical oasis
Making a tropical oasis isn't as hard as you might think. You can go all out with a koi pond and pavers that outline the pond, but a simple and relaxing space works just as well. Use larger pavers to build a walkway up to the oasis. Tuck the space back into a corner of your yard where you don't need to worry about hearing your neighbors in their yards. Add bushes and tropical plants to add privacy to your special place.
Consider a fun circular patio
Who says patios must be square or rectangular? This idea uses pavers and gravel to make a circular patio. You can add a walkway from your back door to connect it to your home or place it right up against your home. For a patio that sits against your home, add a rounded edge. Moving it further away, you can make the entire patio round. Though some prefer to use just pavers, others like using gravel beneath the concrete. This adds an interesting twist that makes it look like the pavers are floating.
Design the ultimate outdoor space
While concrete pavers work well as decks and patios, think about changing things up with an ultimate outdoor space that handles all your needs. Use large pavers in the same color to outline the entire space. Stick to smaller pavers in different colors to distinguish the different spaces. You might have one spot for an outdoor kitchen and another for your dining area. Pavers can even outline a seating area. Stacking the pavers creates some fun seating that becomes comfy with the addition of outdoor cushions.
