Introduction
Installing a paver patio is one of the fastest ways to upgrade your outdoor living space. Whether you’re entertaining guests, relaxing with family, or adding value to your home, a custom paver patio brings beauty and function together.
At Farmington Landscaping, we’ve built patios across Davis County that stand the test of time. In this post, we’ll walk you through our top paver patio design ideas for Farmington homes—including layout styles, materials, and smart features for Utah’s climate.
1. The Classic Rectangle: Clean and Versatile
Sometimes simple is best. A rectangular paver patio works well with most backyards and provides a strong base for outdoor dining tables, fire pits, or pergolas.
Design Tip: Run the pavers in a running bond or herringbone pattern to add texture without complicating the install.
2. Curved Patios: Soften Your Landscape
If your backyard has soft edges or you’re looking to avoid a boxy feel, consider a curved or freeform patio design. This style flows naturally with flower beds, trees, and uneven terrain.
Choose smaller pavers or cobblestone-style blocks for smoother curves and tight transitions.
3. Multi-Level Layouts: Add Depth and Separation
Creating steps or raised sections in your patio allows for distinct zones. Great for separating a dining space from a lounge area or fire pit.
Use retaining blocks or seat walls to frame the edges and double down on functionality.
4. Mix Materials: Blend Function with Style
Combine concrete pavers with natural stone borders or gravel inlays for a custom look that reflects your personal style. This also helps manage budget while adding visual impact.
Utah-friendly combos:
- Slate accents with gray concrete
- Brick borders with sandstone pavers
- Gravel gaps for drainage and design
5. Don’t Forget Drainage and Slope
In Davis County, sudden storms can flood patios without proper grading. A professionally designed patio includes slope planning and integrated drainage solutions to protect your home and hardscape.
We recommend:
- A 2 percent slope away from structures
- Permeable pavers for improved water absorption
- Channel drains for areas near foundations or steps
