There is something about springtime that turns everyone’s attention to the outdoors. Maybe it’s the first glimpse of sunlight or the anticipation of lazy summer afternoons barbecuing in the backyard, but spring and outdoor upgrades go hand in hand. From the perfect entertaining patio to driveways that make your home feel less like a house and more like an estate, homeowners are fully embracing visually striking designs this year. And concrete paver stones are emerging as the star.
When it comes to creating comfortable outdoor spaces, we are seeing a noticeable trend in people opting for concrete paver stones. And for good reason! Compared to other popular materials like natural stone or brick, concrete paver stones offer unmatched durability, a wide range of colours and textures, and a cost-effective way to elevate any outdoor space. Plus, they’re easy to install and maintain, making them just as popular with landscapers as they are with.
Go big or go home. Large-format concrete stone pavers are popping up at properties throughout the Lower Mainland, giving a cool, modern vibe that’s guaranteed to set your home apart from the rest.
You can easily incorporate this trend by using oversized pavers in your patio or driveway project. For a seamless look, consider a tight-joint installation, or for something different, check out a spaced-joint installation with decorative gravel or grass between the stones.
Say what you want about beige, but when it comes to concrete pavers, neutral tones like beige, charcoal, and taupe are in high demand. These earthy, nature-inspired palettes are easy to incorporate into any design and will age gracefully, guaranteeing your investment will continue to add value for many years to come.
Not a neutral fan? Bold colours are also making a comeback in backyard design. Unlike natural stone products, there are virtually no limits to the colours you can achieve with concrete stone pavers. Try deep blues, rich reds, or even multi-tonal blends to add a unique, custom look to your space.
We love seeing homeowners explore their creativity by mixing and blending different materials in their outdoor spaces. Concrete stone pavers are an extremely versatile option; they pair seamlessly with natural elements like grass or wood and work perfectly with rough stone finishes or next to polished concrete. Adding various textural elements is a great way to give your space loads of character and an expensive feel—without the price tag!
Concrete paver stones are not just for the floor, as people are increasingly using this versatile material to get creative with custom seating areas, walkways, and even built-in firepits. Year-round marshmallow roasts? Yes, please.
Why limit enjoying your outdoor spaces to just the spring and summer? In 2025, people are embracing year-round outdoor living. For backyards, concrete paver stones are perfect for 12-month-a-year living. Textured concrete pavers can help ensure you land on solid footing no matter how cold or wet it is outside, while an anti-slip protective coating can keep your pavers looking A+ for years to come.
Hate shovelling snow? Ask your concrete contractor about heated paver systems for your driveway that can melt snow and ice automatically. Not only will the front of your home look amazing, but you’ll also have more free time to enjoy cozying up by the fire or sipping a warm drink on your patio.
