The neatly trimmed, emerald lawn is a long-cherished element of home paradise—it’s where your kids play, your loved ones gather for barbecues, and you just enjoy sitting outside on a beautiful day. But lawns come with a price too: they take lots of watering, weed and pest control, and, of course, mowing to keep them looking picture-perfect. Maybe you’d rather spend that time doing things that are more, well, fun. Pavers could be just the landscaping option you’re looking for.

Tired of Mowing? Pavers Are the New Green

Like concrete, pavers are drastically lower maintenance than a living, breathing lawn. But in terms of curb appeal, they provide an advantage with aesthetically pleasing shapes, colors, and sizes to form a look that’s less parking lot and more Park Avenue. That being said, you don’t necessarily have to rip out all the turf surrounding your home to reap the rewards of pavers. You can have the best of both worlds with the following ideas:

  • Patio: Has your patio seen better days? Maybe it’s uneven, filled with cracks, or crumbling. Before you just repave, consider pavers to remodel this space with both form and function—mosaic, herringbone, and cobblestone are just a few design ideas to add an eye-catching finish, whether you’re grilling or gathering around a fire pit.
  • Pathways: Use pavers to create paths both along and within your lawn, inviting strolling and exploring through your entire yard. Pavers can also be a great way to make gardens more accessible, so you can enjoy and maintain harder-to-access areas.
  • Borders: Lawns sometimes feature awkward transitions—depending on your lot, you may have a hilly drop that results in high and low areas, or maybe the space between your yard and the neighbor’s has always been a bit hazy. Pavers provide a pretty but solid way to help delineate space without closing it off.

These are just a few ways you can cut down on grass cutting. Call us at Premier Remodeling today for help adding the perfect pavers to your yard—brick by brick, we’ll get you from design to done!
