A paver patio might be the perfect remedy to a deck that’s seen better days. The owners of this Montgomery home found a patio to be a wonderful addition to their backyard.
Goodbye Deck, Hello Paver Patio
A paver patio can truly transform an outdoor space and offer numerous benefits that go beyond aesthetic appeal. By opting for a paver patio, homeowners like those in this Montgomery home, can experience a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wooden decks.
Paver patios are made from various materials including concrete, brick or natural stone, providing versatile design options to complement any landscape style.
Benefits of a Paver Patio
Durability and longevity: Pavers are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic and varying weather conditions. Unlike wood, which can rot or warp over time, pavers maintain their structural integrity for many years.
Low maintenance: A significant advantage of installing a paver patio is the reduced maintenance required. Unlike wood, which needs regular staining or painting, pavers only require occasional cleaning and sealing to preserve their appearance and functionality.
Aesthetic appeal: Paver patios offer a wide range of design possibilities with different shapes, colors and patterns. This flexibility allows homeowners to customize their patio to blend seamlessly with their existing landscape and architectural style.
Eco-friendly options: Many pavers are made from recycled materials, and permeable paver options allow rainwater to seep through, reducing runoff and promoting better water management.
Improved property value: A well-designed paver patio not only enhances the usability of outdoor spaces but can also increase property value. Prospective buyers often find landscaped outdoor areas desirable, thereby improving the home's marketability.
Custom features: As seen in this Montgomery, Ohio, home, integrating features like a seating wall, water features and landscape lighting can create a more dynamic and inviting space that can be enjoyed during the day and night.
In addition to these benefits, the adaptability of a paver patio makes it easy to expand or refurbish as future needs and design preferences evolve. The investment in a paver patio provides both immediate enjoyment and long-term value, offering homeowners a versatile and inviting outdoor living area.
The Deck-to-Patio Transformation
The home, built in 1993, lacked an attractive outdoor living and entertaining space. The existing deck was made of wood that needed to be maintained frequently. The deck also blocked the traffic flow from the house out onto the yard.
The Seiler’s Landscaping team designed a curving paver patio made of decorative concrete pavers for the space. At 550 square feet the patio is just right for large and small gatherings of friends and family. A curved seating wall with pillars adds seating and a touch of formality to the area. Natural materials and lush plantings soften the hardscape and make the space welcoming.
The overall plan for the paver patio also included a bubbling rock water feature and landscape lighting. We installed an LED lighting system which is completely self sufficient and requires little energy consumption.
