Mix dull tones with color
The slate gray tones of many surfaces can be miserable in a small garden under a cloudy sky . In this garden, we can see how the beautiful gray limestone paving was surrounded by a burst of bright color that makes it even more beautiful coating.
In itself, it is elegant and paving the score, using a pale gray cement, triggers each individual slab. Finally, it goes to the bottom dull, but the contrast with the walls and the new plantation will continue to give a stylish spin.

Play with pattern
This garden takes the springboard theme a little further. The pattern simple square pavers laid in the grass as you shoot across a border and outside in a focal lawn, then again to a larger lawn.
This is a simple but effective way to create movement around the garden using pavers set on a 45-degree angle and direction - it is an easy idea to copy. To cut the lawn, just take your mower on top.

Add modern springboards
These chunks of concrete "broken" create a large random way through a gravel surface. The children would jump from one to the other, while the two surface materials work together to create a viable path to the front door.
Steal the idea with old broken tiles in unequal and pea shingle tiles to create your own contemporary take on a stepping stone path.

Go freestyle
the Supreme Japanese reign to throw at small unit paving cobbles, pebbles and stones in interesting patterns - and this is an idea that could easily have come from Japan.
In this garden, a combination of small paved surfacing, the unity and gravel pavements were combined to create a flow path that leads us through space.
You can take this idea to smaller spaces and visually draw visitors in different directions. For design ideas, think wave patterns, swirls and funnels beach as freestyle your ways in unique designs.

Choose the traditional collage
you can always tell by the elegant paving model in which it was put, and this stylish way to a big house displays the style garden in buckets.
But you do not need large stack of countries to steal this style: get the look using glued blocks and following a traditional and simple installation diagram. Laying the regular bands covering is easy, because most of the paving comes in regular widths, so you lose very little in cut to size.

Get setts
there is a tendency for the lands forming these days, whether actually forming large mounds and hills, or just play with the way you cut the grass.
In this garden, the designer took a step further by defining trees and grassland areas with a smart border mowed path made of cobblestones. It will reduce the need to work where the road is and where the plants are.
You can also plant up these spaces under trees with spring bulbs and wildflowers, knowing that you do not step on them as they are growing, because the pavers will tell you where to walk.

using the same stone in different ways
a simple way to link all the harsh elements of your garden is set to use the same material in different ways.
In this Mediterranean garden, we used paving sandstone from a local quarry and also sourced stone walls the same place. Stone walling was taken from different parts of the quarry, so that the tones vary a bit, but ultimately the mixed material the garden together.
You can also try mixing regular square opening with a crazy paving panel for some contrast.

Step up (or down)
Many of us have level changes, which can be very expensive or difficult to treat. This garden has reduced the paving by the use of simple grass with retaining stone steps. You can easily do it with recycled materials, backfill with soil and turf surfaces.
It's great when you have big steps to create, but is also comfortable on the narrow stairs. Do not make deep enough for a lawnmower for easy maintenance.

Working in unique details
The realization of a large mosaic of paved area can be intimidating and often expensive. I love this path that uses only a small mosaic filling area in the middle of crazy paving. Better yet, it's not just small stones - some jewel-like stones or beads were added to catch the reflection of the sun and create a small detail that makes this unique paving.
It is easy to do, and with found objects the right kind of size, you could even make a couple of cobblestones in an existing patio and copy that idea within hours.
