Outdoor living spaces have become more popular than ever, especially throughout the greater Atlanta area where homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors for much of the year. Whether you want to improve your backyard, boost curb appeal, or create a more functional patio area, pavers offer an affordable and attractive solution for transforming your outdoor space.

At Green Landscape Supply, with locations in Buford and Peachtree Corners, GA, we help homeowners throughout Metro Atlanta complete beautiful DIY landscaping and hardscaping projects with high-quality pavers delivered directly to their homes.

Why Pavers Are a Smart Upgrade

Pavers are one of the most versatile materials for outdoor projects because they are durable, customizable, and relatively easy to install for many homeowners. Compared to poured concrete, pavers also offer easier repairs and long-term flexibility.

According to national remodeling studies, outdoor living improvements continue to rank among the most valuable home upgrades, with patios and landscaping projects helping improve both property value and outdoor enjoyment.

DIY paver projects can also help homeowners save significantly on labor costs while creating customized outdoor spaces designed around their lifestyle.

1. Build a Backyard Patio

One of the most popular DIY paver projects is creating a backyard patio. Paver patios provide a durable and stylish area for entertaining, grilling, relaxing, or enjoying outdoor family gatherings.

Homeowners in Atlanta suburbs such as Buford, Peachtree Corners, Norcross and surrounding communities often choose pavers because they hold up well in Georgia’s changing weather conditions and can complement a wide range of home styles.

Simple rectangular or square patio layouts can often be completed as weekend DIY projects with proper preparation and materials.

2. Create a Garden Walkway

Paver walkways can instantly improve both curb appeal and functionality. A well-designed walkway creates a clean path through gardens, side yards, or outdoor living areas while adding visual interest to the landscape.

Popular walkway options include:

  • Straight garden paths
  • Curved natural walkways
  • Stepping stone-style designs
  • Decorative front entry paths

Pavers are available in many colors, textures, and patterns, allowing homeowners to customize the appearance of their outdoor space.

3. Install a Fire Pit Area

Outdoor fire pit spaces continue to grow in popularity throughout Metro Atlanta. Adding pavers around a fire pit helps create a comfortable and inviting gathering area for cooler evenings and backyard entertaining.

A DIY fire pit project may include:

  • Circular paver seating areas
  • Gravel and paver combinations
  • Patio extensions around the fire feature

Pavers also provide a safer, more stable surface around fire features compared to grass or mulch.

4. Upgrade Your Driveway Border

Even small paver projects can make a big difference in curb appeal. Installing decorative paver borders along a driveway or front landscaping beds can create a more polished and upscale appearance without requiring a complete driveway replacement.

These smaller projects are often beginner-friendly for homeowners interested in trying DIY hardscaping for the first time.

5. Create a Retaining Wall

Retaining walls can be used for a wide variety of purposes, from managing erosion to creating usable space on hills or slopes. Pavers are an ideal material for building these walls due to their durability and strength.

  • Jon B.

    Wanted to add top dressing to my lawn and stopped by to get some basic facts before starting. The team was so helpful to answer my many questions and made me feel comfortable to move forward with project. Stopped by a few weeks later with a u-haul and was all loaded up and ready to go within 15 minutes. Very helpful and inviting team. I might have them deliver next time, seems it's much easier and it can be dropped off on my driveway in those huge plastic bags - wife likes that Idea, and keeps me from unloading the truck on my own

    We undertook a major landscaping project spanning 2018-2019. It includes stabilizing a foundation wall, construction of retaining walls, redirecting drainage, raised flowerbeds, and completely redoing the lawn. It requires multiple truckloads of stone, sand, fill dirt and topsoil. We saved a few dollars, but more importantly, the quality of the products ordered were unequaled. It was the best experience in getting exactly what and how much we needed that we had in the 30Y we've been here.

  • Ben J.

    Holy Cow! Super fast and friendly service having some gravel delivered. Person taking order on phone and driver very friendly. Feel I got a very fair price on material as well. Will be back.

  • Joshua J.

    When every other landscaping nursery was out of sod these guys had it. Felt very much like a family business. Not a lot frills here, but none are needed for a landscaping business. For my next project I might just have to drive past the other 3 nurseries to get here.

  • Tessa H.

    The only place I will go from now on! John was very kind and so helpful! Even though my job was really small, I was treated with so much respect and personal care that I will not being going anywhere else for my landscape needs in the future. They have a massive selection and their customer service is outstanding.

  • Will M.
