A stunning and functional outdoor space starts with a solid foundation.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or trying your hand at your first project, this guide from Designs by Stonescapes will walk you through everything you need to know, from designing your layout to maintaining your patio for years to come.

Planning and Designing Your DIY Paver Patio 

The secret to a successful paver patio lies in meticulous planning. Begin by evaluating your outdoor space to determine the ideal location. Consider factors like sunlight, usage (dining, lounging, or pathways), and drainage. Once you’ve selected your spot, measure its dimensions, taking note of traffic flow and any slopes that could affect water runoff.

Choose a paver pattern and style that complements your home. Options like concrete and brick pavers offer both versatility and durability. For added visual interest, consider incorporating border stones or mixing sizes. To bring your vision to life, sketch your design on paper or use a design app for a more precise layout.
