Mix Colors and Patterns

   With all of the patterns and colors to choose from, why should you just pick one? There are several designs that will really compliment each other when  placed together.

For example, below is a patio with a Herringbone pattern and a contrasting border.

Additionally you can even mix different types of material such as natural stone and brick.  Show your brick paver contractor any photos that inspire you. Or, if you need help coming up with a new design your Metro Detroit brick paver professional can create a design for you that is not only functional but will complement your home’s exterior and other features in your yard.

 

Incorporate Landscaping Features

Although brick pavers have enough beauty of their own, adding flowers or shrubs can really take your curb appeal to a whole new level. Consider installing a retaining wall that borders the outside your patio to make room for landscaping features.

 

Install an Outdoor Fireplace or Fire Pit

Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits will ensure warm and cozy summer nights, even after the sun has gone down.

If you are having trouble deciding between these 2 different hearths, you may want to consider the following as they do provide different ambiances.

A fire pit provides more of a campfire feel as seating is available around the entire structure. This is perfect for gatherings large and small and really creates a social atmosphere.

An outdoor fireplace will provide more of an intimate setting as there is only room for seating directly in front of it. However an outdoor fireplace will provide more privacy due to it’s height and is typically installed on the edge of your patio.

Add a Seat Wall to Your Patio

A seat wall is just what it sounds like. It is a brick wall that borders your patio that can also be used for seating.

If you plan on doing a lot of entertaining on your patio this summer, seat walls not only look spectacular but they can provide additional room for you and your guests.

If you are planning on installing a fire pit, a seat wall is commonly installed around the fire pit.
