To get the most from your paver project, consider the following aspects before you start. Patios, pool deck, walkways, and driveways should be wide enough to fit people, lawn furniture, or in the case the driveways, cars and people. People enjoy walking on paths with gentle curves, and pavers can define and enlarge space for planting beds. Layout of patios and pool decks is like planning a new room. Consider all the furniture that will be on the patios such as chairs, lounges, tables, umbrellas, and grilles.
Patio furniture requires room around it in order to be used comfortably.
A minimum of a few hundred square feet is needed for a table and chairs. Consider providing a space in front of the garage to turn around or to fit and extra car for guest parking. The driveway should join a walkway to the house. Be sure to plan where water will flow. All pavements should slope away from the house to drain rainfall.
