On the left, the “Before” image shows a bare, compacted sand base awaiting paver installation. On the right, the “After” image reveals a beautifully completed brick paver patio with neutral-toned interlocking pavers, integrated seat walls, outdoor dining furniture, and fresh landscaping, including lush green grass and privacy shrubs.

    Dreaming of turning your blank backyard into a welcoming, durable, and low-maintenance outdoor oasis? Whether youโ€™re envisioning a cozy fire pit in Royal Oak, a winding walkway in Rochester Hills, or a multi-tiered patio in Bloomfield Hills, brick paver patio installation is your key to unlocking the perfect blend of beauty and function.

    At JLR Brick Pavers & Landscaping, we specialize in turning underused yards into stunning hardscaped retreats. Here’s how we brought one Oakland County backyard to lifeโ€”and how we can do the same for you.

    A Suburban Makeover: Outdoor Living Designed With Intention

    This recent transformation began with little more than compacted soil. With over 25 years of in-house expertise, our team at JLR designed a space thatโ€™s both practical and visually striking, showcasing a seamless integration of walkways, paver patios, and retaining walls.

    ๐Ÿชจ Natural Stone Walkway: A Beautiful, Functional Pathway

    We installed a flowing natural stone walkway that draws guests from the edge of the yard into the heart of the landscape. Set against lush turf, the organic stone shapes offer a soft, earthy balance to the structured hardscape design.

    • Guides foot traffic effortlessly
    • Blends with natural surroundings
    • Adds character and curb appeal

    ๐Ÿงฑ Brick Paver Patio: The Heart of Outdoor Living

    At the center of the space is a multi-pattern brick paver patio, built with high-end Fendt and Unilock pavers in neutral tones for a clean and timeless look. Custom seat walls frame the patio, offering built-in functionality and style.

    Perfect for:

    • Outdoor dining & entertainment
    • Slip-resistant relaxation year-round
    • Low-maintenance living that handles Michiganโ€™s freeze-thaw cycles

    ๐ŸŒฟ Raised Retaining Walls: Practical Beauty

    We tied the yard together with retaining wall planters that define space, prevent erosion, and elevate the garden beds. These ledgestone walls not only support drainage but also echo the homeโ€™s architecture, giving the entire landscape a polished, cohesive feel.
