The Power of the Pavestone

Go take a look at your backyard, and you might notice that it epitomizes the wake of chaos incarnate — grass everywhere, no real natural order, maybe a tree here — and if you have pets, nothing but poop everywhere!

It’s pretty tough landscaping a backyard. Most of the time you don’t want to be out there! And during the winter, it’s pointless. Thankfully, though, you have a little bit of help in something that can actually transform your backyard immediately with just a few priceless placements of this one particular piece of architectural atmosphere: it’s called the pavestone.

Think of what it feels like to walk into a backyard without any sense of direction. It’s chaos. Not to mention you might walk on land mines (poop piles). You almost feel lost out there in a sea of green!

What a pavestone does is mark a way for you to travel around your backyard. It’s essentially a stepping stone. Place a few in certain spots — like toward your back door, toward the fence gate, and maybe even a little spot in your backyard where you have a fire pit or campfire. And guess what? You have an outdoor room getaway!

The key is direction, knowing where to go. Your eye leads you to different places around your backyard, and you’re not so overwhelmed by all the green and open space. It breaks up the monotony of the monochromatic grass color, and invites guests to walk all around your backyard.

That’s the power of landscaping right there — the pavestone.
