The gas fire pit casts a warm glow to the landscape as if it was always there. LED lighting as path lights and wall lights illuminate the paving, while a Pekin Lilac tree is illuminated by an uplight.

A small ornamental grass escape. Echinacea, aster and whirling butterfly sway among the feather reed grass and miscanthus in the little corner sanctuary.

A curved pathway leads to the interlocking paver patio, which affords plenty of outdoor seating and a lovely gathering spot for friends and family.

Patios, outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pathways, and retaining walls in a variety of materials can be every style from the most modern and contemporary to the traditional.

Brick paving is a great and long lasting alternative to solid surface paving. Sand set brick is permeable, meaning that storm water will be absorbed through the spaces between the brick and not add to run off from your property-a growing concern in many locations. Brick and unit pavers are also long lasting materials, and should the surface ever warp, they can be lifted and re-laid, making they a wonderfully sustainable paving solution.
