Install a brick paver patio behind your Crystal Lake home now and something like this could be waiting for you in the spring.

Well, it’s too late now. Soon, another Crystal Lake winter will set in. The cold, the snow, the ice – any chance of starting a outdoor improvement to you home, such as a brick paver patio, has passed. Or has it?

Actually, there is still plenty of time to add a brick paver patio to your Crystal Lake home. It’s true – the number of days when you can put it to use are numbered. Once the snow flies, how many people want to sit out on their patio entertaining guests, even if it’s the nicest brick paver patio on the block? Even without the snow, the falling temperatures are hardly conducive to a relaxing evening under the stars.

These are good reasons that you may not want to use a brick paver patio as much in late autumn. But, that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good time to add that brick paver patio of your dreams.

Look at it this way; if you build your patio now, it will be ready for you, your family and friends in the spring. Sure, it’s a bit early to start thinking about spring – winter hasn’t even begun. But spring will come and you’re sure to find it a welcome arrival by the time it gets here. Why not maximize the thrill of another winter’s passing by preparing your backyard with a brick paver patio you’ll appreciate all through the summer and into next fall, not to mention years after that?

Is a brick paver patio the right project to improve your Crystal Lake landscape? Where do you conduct outdoor entertaining now? Where do you go out back to throw a couple steaks on the grill? If you and your spouse want to enjoy a romantic evening under the stars, what is the setting for that encounter?

All of these scenarios are potentially enhanced by the addition of a brick paver patio – a low-maintenance patio that has the durability and style to last for years. A brick paver patio also offers the flexibility to fit your personal tastes and desires.

From an aesthetic perspective, a brick paver patio is far more versatile than any other material used for building a patio. Brick pavers come in a wide range of colors, shapes and styles. Virtually anything is possible, and the possibilities expand dramatically when you apply the talents of a qualified landscape designer.

• The options with a brick paver patio include:
• Brick paver fireplaces and firepits
• Built in grills and outdoor cooking areas
• Brick paver seating areas
• Brick paver retaining walls
• Multi-level brick paver surfaces
• Don’t forget the landscape lighting to make your brick paver patio functional once the sun goes down

Yes, winter will soon make backyard entertaining an option for polar bears but winter won’t last forever.
