In the first of a series of three blog posts, we introduced you to a three-tiered new patio in Holly Springs. In this post, we’re focusing on the circular shape we applied to two of the three patios in the project. Read on to learn a few of the challenges that come from creating curves in pavers.
Pavers Are NOT All Square
They do sell circle kits, but they are expensive and hard to use. We prefer to create circles the old-fashioned way: by hand. When you rely on the kits, you will often end up with uneven joints and/or imperfect angles. By cutting each paver by hand, we are able to create circles of any size, and ensure each curve is exactly the way we want it.
High-End Pricing?
When asked about the increased cost of creating curves in pavers, Hardscapes of Holly Springs owner, Chris Pearson, laughed and said, “We probably should price them a bit higher because they do take more time. At the end of the day, what matters is that we are proud of the work we create.” Other hardscaping companies may cut corners (pun intended) by using the circle kits or charge you more for the extra work. At Hardscapes of Holly Springs, we build custom patios that we can be proud of with pricing that is fair, yet competitive.
Attention to Detail
When you look at the beautiful circular patterns offered in this patio, it’s important to note that every single one of these pavers and caps had to be cut just a little bit, almost like a wedge, for them to fit together correctly.
The following features were all cut individually by hand.
- Pavers on the patio floor
- Caps for the stairs
- Pavers for the walls
- Caps for the tops of the walls.
