Combining Pavers
With Turf Details

The homeowners wanted to convert the backyard into a cleaner, more usable outdoor living area with a balanced combination of hardscape and greenery.

The design used courtyard pavers in gray charcoal tones, a 6x9 charcoal border, and artificial turf to soften the space while creating strong visual structure. The 4-inch turf joints between pavers added a modern geometric finish, while the large center turf section created a more comfortable backyard focal point.

  • Add a 6x9 charcoal paver border for definition.
  • Install 4-inch turf joints between pavers.

Base Preparation

Preparing The Backyard
For Pavers And Turf

The base preparation stage created the foundation for a cleaner and longer-lasting backyard finish. Proper preparation is critical when combining pavers, borders, turf joints, and larger turf areas.

Paver Installation

Courtyard Pavers
And Charcoal Border

The paver installation used a gray charcoal palette with a 6x9 charcoal border, creating strong visual structure and a clean modern hardscape layout.

Turf Installation

4-Inch Turf Joints
And Center Turf Section

Artificial turf was installed between pavers as 4-inch joints and as a large center section in the middle of the backyard. This created a strong balance between clean hardscape lines and soft usable green space.
