Gravel and Pavers Fontana Design Ideas
Mix gravel pathways with paver patios for distinct zones—dining, fire pit, and garden beds. Use contrasting colors and shapes to highlight borders. Incorporate raised planter walls and ambient solar lighting for evening enjoyment. Add a low bench built on pavers for seating that blends seamlessly with the landscape.
Local Considerations for Gravel and Pavers Fontana Projects
Fontana’s soil and occasional flash rains demand proper site preparation. We grade the base to ensure water flows away from foundations. A crushed-rock subbase under pavers prevents settling on clay soils. Decorative gravel topcoats hide footprints and tire marks on driveways while allowing water infiltration.
