Need a Change in Scenery? Give Belgard Pavers a Try!

It is nearly the beginning of Spring, and you keep finding yourself staring out the window at your patio, backyard, or the deck of your swimming pool with a longing to change some things around outside and have decided that you want more excitement for the outer regions of your home. Maybe some new lawn furniture? Perhaps more garden gnomes? No, you need something revolutionary! You need something with a little bit more “pizzazz”, something to really "wow" and engage your guests when they come over for the Summer pool party or barbecue, but you don't want to break the bank to revive your outdoor area.

You've probably already looked for countless home improvement ideas on Pinterest, Instagram, and countless other online outlets to fuel your hardscape and landscape imagination, but it seems like everyone is doing the same thing, and you just have to be different, and really need something done to stand out. Well, how about giving Belgard pavers a try? Belgard pavers can definitely bring life back into your patio, pool deck, or backyard area with the vast variety of patterns and color schemes that you can combine together to give your hardscape the style that you are looking for. You can change everything up with larger styles of pattern shapes to create a modern look, or you can choose a darker color with an intricately detailed pattern to give your hardscape an intimate, yet more relaxed cafe-on-the-corner vibe.

Choosing to revitalize your outdoor spaces with Belgard pavings will help you save money over time because not only are they available in different shapes, sizes, and colors and can be placed in quite a number of patterns, but also because the material that they are made of allows them to be extremely versatile and easy to care for during both the Winter and Summer seasons, keeping you from having to make constant repairs.

What are Belgard Pavers?

Belgard pavers are a type of outdoor pavement style that incorporates the use of synthetic stones that resemble and behave like natural stone. Belgard pavers allow you to have the ability to hold pool or garden parties out on your patio or pool deck and allow your guests to walk barefoot due to the amazing innovation of the pavers to repel heat better than natural stone, and a lot better than concrete and brick pavings. With Belgard pavings, you will not have to use outdoor area rugs over them because you won't have to worry about you or your loved ones burning your feet as you walk across them in the sweltering Summer heat.

Belgard pavers are also significantly more durable than natural stone and concrete due to the way that they are made individually, but also due to the way that they are placed on the ground, allowing for an even amount of pressure to be distributed over the pavers over time. This keeps the pavers from cracking and crumbling, allowing them to stand the test of time and endure the elements, unlike concrete or brick pavings.

Although Belgard pavers are comparable to that of natural stone pavings, natural stone can be expensive due to the way it has to be extracted from natural resources and then reshaped and molded according to the way of the design that has been chosen. Belgard pavers are also more the cost-effective choice over brick or concrete pavings, because of their durability, allowing you the ability to not have to repetitively call a specialist to repair any cracks or chips that could lead to a dangerous fall, and they give you versatility when it comes to style and color options.

Therefore, you may even find that Belgard pavers are the most cost-effective material to choose from for your new outdoor project.

What Patterns Can I Choose From?

There are a large variety of patterns to choose from! The installation of Belgard pavers patterns will provide you with the ability and ease of choosing the type of style you have imagined for your outdoor area pavement. For a more modern outdoor style with a contemporary flair for your hardscape project, you may want to go for more of a simplistic style or modular designs for your new paver patio. For classic paver patio designs, you may want to choose shapes along with intricate details or request a basic pattern for your hardscape. Listed below are just a few of the many options you can choose from:

1. Cobble-Style Pavers

This style is meant to resemble the makings of a cobblestone road, with the use of rectangular pavers. There are different types of cobble pavers, such as Dublin, London, and Belgian. Each of these has its own unique look, and work well for an original style to match your outdoor area.

2. Bond Patterns

This is a type of style that works well for a modern style home, especially if you want to expand this style outside onto your patio or pool deck. The different type of bond pattern includes Running Bond, which resembles the look of a brick road, and also Canyon running bond, which is a more condensed style of the Running Bond style, by carefully placing the pavers in horizontal rows.

3. Herringbone

The term for this particular pattern comes from the pattern that is formed from the bones of a herring fish. This particular pattern works very well for narrow areas of your outdoor area. Like the patterns mentioned above, there is more than one type of herringbone paver laying patterns including 90- and 45-degree herringbone designs.

4. Basketweave

If you are in the market for something completely different or unique in patio paver designs, the basketweave is one beautiful design that you can request to have for your outdoor area. Weave patterns always serve as a great choice that will allow your patio to stand out from the rest.

What Are my Color Options?

Now that you know about the different types of patterns that you can choose from, you can now look into the different paver color options for your new project! Just like various patterns you have to choose from, the colors reflect the personality of you and your home. The pavers are available in nearly every color to suit your taste, whether you would like something that is bold, or a sophisticated, sleek style, or something that is just natural and reserved, there is something for everyone.

If you are wanting more of a natural tone, you will want to select Belgard paver colors that are lighter in color. These colors can include the color of the natural stone, a sandy beige color, or light brown. Colors like these make a great choice for a pool deck, giving the feeling of enjoying a day at the beach due to the natural sandy colors of the pavers.

For the sleek and sophisticated feel for your patio or outdoor grilling area, pavers in darker tones will give the area a more contemporary look, making your guests feel as if they are in an exclusive club as they enjoy the festivities at your house.

The pavers can range in different tones from light beige, as stated above, to other bolder colors such as brick red, blue tones, dark brown tones such as espresso, or even shades of black. So, you really have an unlimited number of options for the way that you would like for your Belgard pavers to look.
