Is the new space to be part of an existing outdoor space or, perhaps, an extension of an existing indoor space? Is there a need to add heat or lighting?

​

Consider any elements that are already in place at the location; such as: trees and shrubbery, gardens, pools or ponds, walls or steps, and, of course, sun and shade.

​

Ponder anything that might turn out to be a problem or just something that has to be dealt with as you design the space; such as: uneven or sloped surfaces, trees or shrubbery, drainage, buried gas or electrical lines, privacy, sun/shade, or zoning.

​

And don't forget to consider when you would like to have the space completed. Give yourself plenty of time. You may fall in love with a tile that takes a month or two, or even three, as it takes an ocean voyage from Italy. You might want a special outdoor kitchen cabinet that takes two months to build. You might want your new space done for an big event like a wedding or family reunion. If you are prepared, you can work around that time frame. But if the wait is too long, we have many choices of other pavers made in the US to fit the bill.
