Also, what are they set in? Do they hold up to your northern Illinois winters? Thank you.

This was "hollandstone" from Paveloc. Paveloc is no longer in business as they were purchased by Unilock.

The color is a blend of red, charcoal and buff. Unilock calls this color blend Autumn Red in their Holland line.

Properly
installed concrete pavers hold up well in our climate but should be
sealed every two years on a driveway or every 3-4 years on a
patio/walkway to retain it color.

You should have a professional installer in your area take a look at your home so you can discuss what end result you are wanting. You may need to use an engineered wood. This is still an all wood product and is much more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This is a huge advantage if you are in an older home or in the midwest where humidity levels can drastically change from season to season. A solid wood will cup or curl if humidity and moisture levels are not managed. Your installer should do a moisture test before installation to make sure the installation does not fail. All warranties will be voided if this step is not taken. Also, your transitions will need to be considered. Is the new wood floor going to butt up to tile, carpet, or vinyl? The height difference in the two products will need to be taken into consideration. You will have a greater selection of thicknesses in the engineered woods. Engineered wood should be several plys, all wood. If you choose a solid wood, the hand scraped versions are fantastic for a high traffic area with children. Hickory, Red Oak, most Brazilian Species, and even Bamboo are hard enough to take everyday traffic and still look terrific. Good luck!

A picture would be nice to view. I have a forgotten area in my yard as well. It became so overgrown with weeds that last year that after pulling out everything, we used a bunch of non-matching pavers we had left over from some jobs, and I purchased others, to create a sitting area. The next door neighbor's ground ivy has made a home in that corner of my yard, so we made trellises for it to climb on, LOL. We also built a paver fire pit and placed some benches on the patio, and around it. You don't need to use cushions all the time. It turned out to be an area my husband loves to sit in now. Around this now bricked-in corner we use annuals in various pots to add color. It still needs work, but everything around here is a "work in progress", LOL.

Hi Antoinette I too live in Ireland in a Semi Detached. My husband who's the one with green fingers has transformed our garden into an oasis you wouldn't think we lived in a housing estate. You might start with cleaning the slabs. You could change the edging tile with a contrasting one to set it off. Use different sizes and colours of pots. A seating area in one section. Use lots of different colours and plants which are ok to grow in pots. Just seeing all the colours come to life in Spring and Summer will cheer you up. Here are some photos that were taken at the end of summer last year the leaves have started falling from the trees. Oh yeah still have the clothes line up too.

It makes me cross that people think they have a right to make some quite negative comments on this post. Masmccar76 put these photos on because she thought people would like to see a genuinely lovely transformation of her garden. Instead there have been some downright nasty comments. By all means make comments but keep them constructive. Houzz is all about is sharing ideas, not about being nasty
