Three paving or patio flooring materials are combined to show variety but also demonstrate that you don't need to be limited to one type. So what do we have here?
  • Decomposed granite (DG) is the solid-packed dirt-looking material
  • Bricks in a semi-whorled pattern with concrete pavers
  • Pea gravel, which is small, pea-sized pebbles

Each patio flooring area has flexible edging that allows you to make curves, circles, or meandering, non-geometric pathways.

Another example of pea gravel.
