Interlocking, permeable pavers are more than just a fabrication substance for driveways and paths around your property. In fact, there are a wide variety of ways you can put concrete pavers to use in your outdoor living design. These are just a few of the ways you can turn permeable pavers into more than just a driveway or sidewalk.

Using interlocking pavers to construct your patio allows you to customize the pattern and feel of your patio, and to avoid the inevitable cracking of concrete or rotting of lumber. Paver patios look great and provide great service for many years.
