Step up your outdoor living spaces by creating stylish walkways with patio pavers. Don’t let their name deceive you; they can be installed as patios, walkways, or driveways. These hardscaping materials provide an attractive balance between aesthetics, cost, and installation. In addition, because they are produced locally, you can be assured that they will withstand the area’s desert climate without requiring substantial upkeep.

You can ensure longevity by routinely cleaning the patio pavers, applying a protective sealant, and managing weeds – especially during the Valley’s monsoon season. Ideally, you should purchase a weed barrier landscape fabric from a landscaping supply provider like Cutting Edge Curbing Sand & Rock, laying it down to promote weed suppression and reduce maintenance requirements.

Planning for Paver Walkways

Whether you’re planning a simple backyard garden path or a unique walkway leading to the front door, there are various paver options, including different colors and patterns, to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. The beauty of these products is their versatility as they can be laid in grassy areas and, more water-efficient, desert landscapes for either a balanced or natural look. You can even choose to install patio pavers to create an elegant driveway for increased curb appeal.

There are a few things you should do before purchasing materials. The first is to check with your local planning and development office to determine whether this project will require a building permit. You may also need to check with your homeowner’s association, if applicable, to ensure compliance with their rules and regulations.

Once that’s out of the way, input your project dimensions into Cutting Edge Curbing Sand & Rock’s online estimator calculator to determine how many pavers you’ll need, inclusive of a five percent material waste factor. That factor accounts for the potential for unusable materials should you need to make cuts when arranging the pavers to achieve your desired pattern. You can choose to input cubic or square feet for rectangular and circular areas or linear or face feet for curvilinear and circular areas.
