Today on Modern Builds I'm updating an out of date patio made of mud-colored paver bricks and into a modern retreat with a black fence, cool garden beds, and grey pavers laid down in a herringbone ...

The border and edging of a paver patio are crucial parts of the design. You don't want to skip them just to save time and money on the initial construction.

If you're planning a new patio, be sure to consider how your choice of material will affect maintenance. To keep weeds at bay, don't use these patio options.
