Courtyard

A modern courtyard should be one of the first DIY projects on any to do list. Paved courtyards can improve the appeal of your home and create the effect of increased space in your backyard, providing an open entertaining area at a minimal cost.

The design and layout of a paved courtyard can be suited to individual taste or inspired by one of the many stunning courtyards shown on this page. These images provide new ideas for the home handyman or woman who is considering adding value to their home.

The latest trend uses pavers of different colours and surface textures to create unique patterns which add to the visual appeal of the courtyard. Another popular option is to separate pavers by Mondo Grass or coloured stone pebbles. This creates a chic look which enhances the appearance of the pavers and gives a professional design feel to the courtyard.
