Thank you! We considered both options and the concrete ended up being both a visual and budget decision. The landscaper started with pavers in the plan, but I was worried about it not looking cohesive, especially the 4 ft extension off the side of the existing concrete. If it was just the back portion we were adding it might have been a harder decision. But that design preference paid off, but it will also be about half the price compared to the pavers, which allowed us to spend more in other areas. We’ll still get some natural stone in the pathway from the patio to the gate and around the firepit, so hopefully it will be the best of both worlds!
