Designs For Backyard Deck And Paver Patio

By Darren Hartley


Spring is the time to think about expanding a home into the outdoors with backyard deck designs. The sublime pleasure of enjoying the great outdoors without leaving the home is beyond comparison. The options available for the conversion of a backyard deck into something as personal and special as the home interior are almost limitless.

Two options can be taken with backyard deck designs on hand. The first option is to create a simple, one-level deck where family members can sit and take in the many benefits offered by nature. The other option is to build an exotic outdoor environment, complete with an outdoor kitchen including a grill, granite bar, refrigerator and outdoor stereo system.

The decision which backyard deck designs to go for is limited only by the budget, the imagination and what is actually permissible in the neighbourhood. Thus, the first task of a homeowner is the setting of his parameters depending on his limitations.

As to the installation of paver patio designs, there are ten things to bear in mind, the first of which is the insurance of a stable foundation. A stable foundation requires digging at least six inches under the surface for the preparation of the ground below. The pavers must not shift over time with the considerable activity expected on the surface.

For the best value with the lowest maintenance, the way to go is paver patio designs, regardless of the vast options available for an outside area. It may cost more up front but in the long run, it will pay for itself considering the savings from not having to stain and seal it year after year.

Weeds remain a headache even with paver patio designs. By laying down a barrier, their growth between pavers may be stifled. However, for weeds that remain to be a notorious problem, the best solution would be a soil additive.
