Well...the Association has finally started complaining about the development completing the backyard landscaping...I guess that's good and bad.

Most of my neighbors are doing concrete but I've had Paver's on my mind for the last few months.


Anyone have experience, recommendations or advice?

I guess I need pros/cons...install advice...and suedo-cost/benefit analysis?

Pics of your backyards would be nice...I'm thinking of making the patio about 25 wide and 14 feet deep, maybe a little bigger.
